As demand for innovative e-bike system solutions continues to grow, more OEMs are seeking integrated systems that offer performance, flexibility, and reliability—keeping up in an increasingly competitive e-bike market. Among the top global suppliers, Ananda distinguishes itself as a trusted manufacturer capable of delivering complete e-drive systems tailored to each customer’s specific needs.
Headquartered in Shanghai, Ananda has been operating since 2011, offering open-platform drive units for e-bikes, e-motorcycles, e-scooters, and more. Its product portfolio includes geared hub motors, mid-motors, controllers, sensors, and HMIs, providing OEMs with a fully integrated e-drive solution. With over 100 engineers and a robust patent portfolio, Ananda ensures high-quality, innovative products.
Full System Integration and In-House Production
Ananda’s broad array of e-bike systems and complementary products is designed for flexibility and open integration with third-party solutions. This open-platform approach is a major draw for OEMs, says Thomas Lecoq, Marketing Manager Europe: “If a brand wants to use its own smart system, battery supplier or integrate features like key-lock systems, we make it work. That’s where our engineering expertise and openness set us apart—many of our competitors operate closed systems.”
Ananda is one of the few companies capable of manufacturing direct-drive hub motors, geared hub motors, mid-motors, controllers, sensors, and HMIs all in-house. The company even operates its own SMT (Surface Mount Technology) line for PCBA, ensuring full control over quality and production timelines.
This commitment to vertical integration enables OEM customers to benefit from shorter lead times, consistent quality, and fully customizable solutions across various bike segments.
Global Reach, Local Mindset
With its headquarters and three production sites in China, Ananda is rapidly expanding globally. Its facilities in Hungary and Vietnam provide significant strategic advantages:
- Hungary: Currently a repair and service center, it is set to become a full production hub—improving responsiveness to the EU market and ensuring compliance with local regulations.
- Vietnam: Enhances production capacity for the EU and US markets while simplifying compliance procedures.
Ananda’s global strategy is supported by tailored software, open communication, and strong local partnerships. Lecoq emphasizes: “A modern e-drive system isn’t just a motor—it’s an ecosystem of components and software working in harmony. From controllers and sensors to displays and cloud-based tools, we customize systems to fit regional regulations, riding modes, and brand identities.”
Reliable Quality at Scale
With millions of units produced annually, Ananda adheres to strict quality control protocols—including Final Quality Control (FQC) and Outgoing Quality Control (OQC). The company collaborates with TÜV and partners closely with frame engineers and OEMs to test products in real-world conditions. Demo bikes are available for hands-on evaluation, with continuous feedback driving product improvements.
Innovative Products for All Segments
Ananda’s growing motor portfolio highlights its focus on performance and versatility:
- M5000: A lightweight, compact mid-motor system ideal for trekking with smooth, effortless power.
- R820: A high-performance hub motor for gravel riders, featuring a 12mm thru-axle for quick rear wheel removal.
- R900: A 3-speed gear motor system that combines internal gearing and motor into one integrated housing.
Smart Tools for Users and OEMs
Ananda complements its hardware with user-friendly digital tools:
- Ananda Ride: A Bluetooth-enabled app for riders offering navigation, ride statistics, and motor tuning.
- Ananda Link: A professional interface for OEMs and dealers to run diagnostics, monitor performance, and manage software and firmware updates.
These tools help both consumers and professionals optimize their e-drive systems—before and after the sale.
Customer Service Where You Need It
Ananda backs its technology with robust local support. In addition to its office in the Netherlands, the company has service centers in France, Italy, Japan, Poland and the US—with Germany, Sweden, and the UK soon to follow.
The launch of a new Direct-to-Retailer call center further strengthens Ananda’s commitment to customer care. Dealers will be able to get technical assistance directly from the source, reducing downtime and ensuring a fast, accurate response.
A Partner Ready to Power Your Growth
Ananda is more than a component supplier—it’s a full-system partner ready to support OEMs with the tools, systems, and service needed to compete in a fast-moving market. With a strong global presence, proven production capabilities, and a collaborative approach, Ananda offers a reliable foundation for the next generation of e-mobility products.
