Chinese Motorcycles Like Voge, Zontes, and QJMotor Conquer Highlight Positions and Change the Balance in the Spanish Two-Wheel Market

The Spanish two-wheeler vehicle market is experiencing a historic moment. In July, the sector recorded a growth of +22.4% compared to the same period last year, according to data from ANESDOR. But the most important thing is the turnaround on the podium: the Chinese motorcycles, which were once seen as exotic, now dominate the ranking and have become the protagonists.

Accelerated Advance of Chinese Brands

Brands like Voge, Zontes, and QJMotor have transitioned from being little-known alternatives to occupying highlight positions among the best-selling in the country.

Voge, for example, reached the third position in July, with 2,668 registrations and an impressive growth of +251.5% compared to the same month in 2023.

Yearly Accumulated Growth

In addition to the monthly result, the yearly accumulated data confirms the trend. Voge and Zontes have already surpassed historical brands like Kymco and BMW, occupying the third and fourth places in the overall ranking.

QJMotor entered the top 10 for the first time, with 3,752 units sold and a growth of +122.9%.

This performance isn’t happening by chance. The brands are betting on competitive prices, modern design, technological equipment, and a focus on the segments with the highest sales, such as trail and scooter.

Models Driving the Turnaround

Among the best-selling models, the Zontes 368 G stands out as the third most sold throughout Spain.

There were over 4,400 units, a significant growth of +529.1%. The Voge 900 DSX emerged as the best-selling non-scooter motorcycle in July, surpassing established Japanese rivals in the market.

Moreover, these numbers reinforce the Chinese strategy to compete directly with traditional leaders.

It’s no longer just about price, but performance, aesthetics, and technology capable of competing on equal terms.

Paradigm Shift

The Spanish market, historically dominated by Honda, Yamaha, and Piaggio, is making definitive space for Chinese ascendance.

Because, if there was previously skepticism about quality and durability, the July data makes it clear: the Chinese are here to stay.

The remainder of the year is likely to maintain the same upward trajectory. Therefore, Chinese brands are no longer supporting actors.

They already occupy a leadership position in a scenario where even the best-selling car, the Dacia Sandero, records 20,366 units.

Paradigm Shift

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

What many people consider a weed has become a bicycle in the hands of a Chilean. José Tomás transforms coligüe, a native bamboo that grows up to five times faster than pine, into bikes, canes, and cutlery.

Only 28% of the ocean floor has been accurately mapped, less than what is already known about the surface of Mars and the Moon, and scientists consider the topic strategic for Brazil, with a global goal to map everything by 2030.

Japan wants to bury a 500 km “cargo conveyor” between Tokyo and Osaka to replace up to 25,000 trucks per day, move goods through tunnels and automated driverless corridors, and avoid a logistical collapse in an increasingly aging country.
