As a comprehensive drive system provider for eBike, Bafang has made significant advances in the development of high-power systems, garnering considerable market interest. To further leverage the benefits of high-power systems and enhance value creation, Bafang has identified belt drive systems as an avenue for exploration. Dayco, a leading provider of power transmission solutions, has a wide and strong track record of deployment across diverse industries, including automotive, trucks, construction, agriculture, motorcycle and eBike. In this collaboration, Dayco has developed a new belt drive system for Bafang High Power Systems, which offers a more stable, environmentally friendly and efficient drive, as well as low maintenance cost.
