Company History
Shineray produces everything from basic commuters to retro-flavored singles, often partnering for engines and components that meet diverse market needs. Export success comes from breadth—dual-sports for rough roads, cafe-styled 400s for urban riders, and utility ATVs for farms—combined with improving QC around wiring, brakes, and coatings. Regional distributors determine reputation: with solid PDI and spares, Shineray machines deliver low-cost, reliable service; without it, owners struggle. The company has also engaged in joint ventures and licensing that transfer manufacturing discipline both ways, raising standards across its lines. Historically, Shineray illustrates the globalization of two wheels: when manufacturing scale meets competent local stewardship, riders gain affordable, characterful options that keep cities and small businesses moving.
