China Wuxi International Electric Bicycle Expo, known as CEB Wuxi, has run since 2006 and sits in the middle of one of China’s densest electric two-wheeler manufacturing clusters. The floor is arranged as a supply chain rather than a brand gallery: complete vehicles share the halls with the batteries, motors, controllers, chargers and plastic parts that go into them, and with the welding, laser-cutting and testing equipment used to build them.

The show is timed to the new national standard, and exhibitors use it to launch the models they will sell through the coming season and to meet distributors, export agents and sourcing teams. The organisers add an industry forum on the transition, a trade matching session for exporters and outbound buyers, and factory visits so that overseas purchasing teams can check production capacity at first hand.
