China's electric vehicle exports surged 68.7% year-on-year in the first half of 2026. Exports of electric motorcycles and bicycles also grew 31.5% over the same period.

I read this figure through a market lens. Exports up 68.7% while the domestic market stalls — this is clear evidence that China's motorcycle and EV industry is shifting its axis toward the global market. What matters is that Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa are becoming the main battlegrounds, and what the numbers show is that the world's motorcycle center of gravity is genuinely on the move.

Japanese manufacturers are way too far behind on electric.

Before you know it, two-wheelers might get swallowed by China too.

China's electric two-wheelers are cheap, makes sense why exports are strong.

Once they attack on price like this, there's no winning on price anymore.

68.7% for EVs overall versus 31.5% for two-wheelers and bicycles, quite a gap in growth rates.

That's really the flip side of stalled domestic growth, basically relying on exports.

It's basically the surplus from a saturated domestic market getting redirected into exports.

Electric two-wheeler exports up 31.5%, Japan can't afford to be complacent.
