QJ Motor automatic sportbike makes riding accessible and could revolutionize the market (Instagram @qjmotor_global)
The motorcycle market is undergoing a significant change with the arrival of models equipped with automatic transmissions, no longer exclusive to scooters.
Major brands like Yamaha, Honda, and KTM have already developed their own systems that partially or fully automate gear shifts, making riding more accessible—especially for beginners, people with physical limitations, or those seeking more convenience in daily life. Despite this, many riders still prefer manual transmissions for greater control and engagement with riding.
In this scenario, QJ Motor stands out by offering a more affordable automatic sport option to the public: the SRK 500 RA (or 450 AMT in China). The bike has no foot controls—not even for shifting or the brake pedal—and allows automatic gear changes or by buttons on the handlebar, like scooters. Its 449 cc engine delivers up to 53 horsepower and already complies with modern environmental standards. Additionally, the bike is lightweight, features quality components, and has an aggressive design, with a very competitive starting price of about US$ 3,300 in China.
Although it is not yet clear whether automatic motorcycles will become widely popular, the advancement of this technology shows the market is adapting to different types of riders.
