India's Real EV Battleground Is Electric Motorcycles, Not Scooters, Analysis Finds

So BikeWale is an India-focused motorcycle outlet, its on-the-ground analysis is genuinely useful.

Scooters were easy to electrify since they're commuter transport, but bikes carry hobbyist appeal too, so the difficulty is different.

This looks like the moment where the seriousness of core motorcycle makers like Hero and Bajaj gets put to the test.

My image of motorcycle riders is that a lot are conservative, so whether electrification really accelerates from here is still uncertain.

The analysis that scooters lit the fuse and bikes are the real prize makes sense once you consider the scale involved.
