Michelin Bicycle Belt Drive System: A New Alternative for Taiwan Bicycle Brands
Bicycle drivetrains are moving toward quieter, cleaner, and lower-maintenance solutions. For urban commuters, electric bicycles, and shared fleets, conventional chains require regular lubrication, cleaning, and adjustment, while also creating concerns about grease and corrosion. Belt drive systems have therefore become an increasingly important option for new bicycle development.
Shin-Ho International Trade Co., Ltd. is introducing the MICHELIN bicycle belt drive system to the Taiwan market. Straight-tooth and helical-tooth options are available for project evaluation according to frame design, gear ratio, motor configuration, and intended use.
Key advantages include:
1. Quiet and smooth operation
Low operating noise supports a refined riding experience for urban commuting and leisure bicycles.
2. Clean and low-maintenance use
The system does not require chain lubricant, helping reduce grease stains and routine maintenance.
3. Suitable for E-BIKE projects
Configurations can be evaluated for both hub-motor and mid-drive applications, depending on the drivetrain and torque requirements.
4. Straight-tooth and helical-tooth options
The straight-tooth series provides a direct and established transmission solution. The helical-tooth series focuses on alignment, smooth operation, and debris evacuation. Final selection must be verified according to frame geometry, sprockets, ratio, tension, and torque conditions.
The MICHELIN bicycle belt drive system has already been introduced in multiple international E-BIKE brands and production projects, demonstrating that bicycle manufacturers now have an additional competitive option alongside established belt-drive solutions.
Shin-Ho International welcomes inquiries from bicycle brands, trading companies, complete-bike manufacturers, and OEM/ODM development teams. We can support project discussions and quotations based on the specific requirements of urban bicycles, E-BIKES, and other low-maintenance mobility products.
Specifications and suitability must be confirmed for each bicycle and project. Contact Shin-Ho International Trade Co., Ltd. for further information: https://www.shin-ho-belt.com/index?lang=en
