It's economic rationality, not idealism, that drives electric two-wheeler adoption. I see the rapid market growth in Peru as the result of weighing urban transportation costs against the running cost of going electric. It's the numbers making people choose electric, not sentiment. Emerging markets are exactly where the real picture of electrification shows up most clearly.

I have a feeling Chinese manufacturers are about to sweep up market share here too.

I wonder if an electric bike can actually handle Peru's elevation-heavy terrain — I'm curious about the battery drain.

Does battery performance actually drop at high altitude?

It says this is centered on urban areas, so rural regions are probably still dominated by gas bikes.

Even calling it rapid expansion, isn't this just because the base number is still small?

Even with a small base number, the growth rate alone makes this a trend worth paying attention to.

It feels like the shift to electric has finally reached even South America.
