Against global carbon neutrality and energy transition, electric two-wheelers are gaining strong momentum. Driven by policy support, rising fuel costs, better infrastructure, and wider consumer adoption, the industry shows clear regional differences and high growth potential. This briefing covers key updates across India, Latin America, MEA, Europe, and Asia to deliver actionable insights for global businesses, distributors, and fleet operators.
India
India's electric two-wheeler market kicked off fiscal 2027 with strong momentum, as retail sales reached 148,740 units in April 2026, surging 60.73% year-on-year. The top five OEMs now account for 84% of the market, led by TVS Motor (25.3% share), Bajaj Auto (22.1%), and Ather Energy. Supported by the PM E-DRIVE subsidy scheme and higher crude prices, mainstream brands are expanding rapidly. Meanwhile, Ola Electric posted a 38.6% YoY sales decline, reflecting intensifying industry consolidation.
Latin America
Latin America delivered its fourth consecutive year of record motorcycle sales in 2025, with electric two-wheeler volume jumping 67.8% YoY to over 27,000 units. Brazil remains the largest market, while Colombia, Argentina, and Chile all grew by more than 33%. Volatile fuel prices and government incentives are accelerating the shift from gasoline to electric models, despite challenges in charging infrastructure outside major cities.
Middle East & Africa
Spiro, Africa's leading e‑mobility platform, has secured over $150 million in funding to build the continent's largest electric two-wheeler network, which now covers 80,000 electric motorcycles and 2,500 battery swap stations in six countries. Its efficient battery‑swap model effectively resolves range anxiety and charging constraints. In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are scaling up e-scooters to advance sustainable urban mobility and last-mile delivery.
Europe
More than 320 Low Emission Zones (LEZs) across Europe are creating strong structural demand for electric two-wheelers, even though Western Europe's 2025 registrations fell 7.1% year-on-year. Chinese brands including NIU, Yadea, and VMoto hold leading positions, while local European manufacturers have been slow to respond. The market is supported by steady demand from last-mile delivery fleets seeking lower operating costs and regulatory compliance.
Asia
China's electric two-wheeler exports rose 46.2% YoY in the first two months of 2026, fueled by booming demand in Southeast Asia. Myanmar led growth at 617.5% amid fuel shortages and favorable policies, while Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos are also accelerating electrification. Supply is struggling to keep pace with strong regional uptake of affordable and reliable electric models.
