Global electric motorcycle sales reached 2.3 million units in January-April 2026, up 16.1% year-on-year, with a new full-year record considered all but certain. China led with a commanding 66% share, while India rose to second place with 15.8%.
Looking at the numbers rather than sentiment, 2.3 million units with 16.1% growth suggests the market has entered a sustainable expansion phase. From a battery perspective, Chinese players' cost advantage is driving the overall trend. India's 15.8% figure represents a faster-than-expected rise, and technically speaking, models from Bajaj and Royal Enfield are clearly leading that market.

Whatever's selling in volume is probably just the cheap Chinese moped class though.
It's a bit sad seeing no Japanese names show up in these kinds of statistics...
Japan leans premium over volume, so it tends to get buried in stats like these.
Seeing the global shift to electric laid out in numbers really drives it home.
+16.1% - isn't growth actually slowing down? It used to be doubling before.
2.3 million units in 4 months, with China running away with 66% - that's a completely different order of magnitude.
India at 15.8%, jumping to second place - looks like India's the one catching up to China.
