Chinese electric motorcycles and scooters are rapidly expanding across the globe. Exports in the first quarter of 2026 reached 7.2 million units, up 68.2% year-on-year. High fuel prices, environmental awareness, and integrated supply chains are enabling competitive pricing, with brands like Yadea gaining popularity across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

I feel the tide turning for electric two-wheelers in this 68% increase figure. China's supply chain is vertically integrated from battery to motor, giving it price competitiveness on a different scale. High fuel prices become a tailwind, and it spreads all at once from Europe to Latin America. Not emotion — it's the numbers of cost and infrastructure driving this expansion.

If it's price-competitive, there's a chance it'll be affordable on the used market too when it eventually shows up there.

Didn't realize it had expanded all the way into Latin America — surprising to see it reach such an unexpected region.

The scale of Chinese exports reaching this level is a situation that would've been unthinkable back in the internal-combustion era.

They say Yadea's popular, but there must be local voices worried about battery quality and safety too.

While Japanese makers are slow to shift to electric in Europe and Southeast Asia, at this pace the gap's just going to keep widening.

I get that high fuel prices and environmental awareness are both factors, but I'd bet the cheap supply chain matters even more.

7.2 million units in Q1 alone, up 68.2% year-on-year — that pace is insane, annualize it and it's a staggering number.
