Autumn Canton Fair Recap: The Rise of 96V Power and New Opportunities in South America

The Autumn Canton Fair proved once again that the electric motorcycle industry is moving at light speed. For the Rawrr team, this season’s exhibition was packed with excitement, insightful market shifts, and immense enthusiasm for where high-performance e-motos are headed next.

The Next 2-Year Trend: MANTIS 96V Prototype Steals the Show

The absolute star of our booth was the newly unveiled MANTIS 96V Prototype. Visitors, long-time partners, and new buyers continuously gathered around the platform, eager to see what higher voltage and massive power output look like in the Rawrr ecosystem.

The industry signal is clear: higher power is the defining trend for the next two years. Riders are demanding more torque, higher top speeds, and greater overall capability. By pushing the boundaries early with our 96V architecture, Rawrr is setting the pace for the next generation of high-performance off-road e-bikes.

A Surge in South American Demand

Compared to the Spring edition, we saw a massive increase in buyers hailing from South America—particularly from strong markets like Brazil and Argentina. This influx points to an improving economic outlook in these regions, accompanied by a rapidly growing appetite for electric mobility and outdoor powersports.

However, conversations with these buyers revealed a shared challenge: high import tariffs.

While demand in South America is surging, steep import duties remain a significant hurdle for importers.

Navigating these trade costs requires strong manufacturer support, optimized shipping solutions, and products whose value and performance strictly justify the landed cost.

The Competitive Landscape: Facing Industry Giants Head-On

Another fascinating observation from the show floor was the number of new market entrants specifically looking for Surron alternatives or complementary inventory. While Surron is a mature brand with an established global distributor network, seeing so many dealers actively seeking fresh, high-end options confirms what we’ve known all along: the market wants innovation, distinct design, and better performance choices.

Competing directly with established giants is a challenge we welcome. Rather than copying existing formulas, Rawrr stands apart through original engineering, uncompromising component quality, and higher voltage performance options that give dealers a true competitive edge.

To everyone who visited our booth during the Autumn Canton Fair—thank you! The future of e-motos is high-powered, global, and brighter than ever.
