High fuel prices push people to choose electric, and Chinese manufacturers capture that demand through mass production — this cycle is exactly the center of gravity shift of the world's two-wheeler market itself.

Unless fuel prices come down, this trend's only going to keep accelerating, feels like it won't stop anytime soon.

High fuel prices ending up being the biggest tailwind — same pattern playing out in electric two-wheelers' overseas expansion too.
