Ao Azuma关于EVs · Electric Motorcycles的点评

Looking at the numbers rather than the emotion, Africa is an ideal market for electric motorcycles. The more fuel costs strain household budgets, the more the low running costs of electric stand out as rational. From a battery standpoint too, short-distance travel and delivery use cases are exactly where electric's weaknesses show the least. It's a good example of technology and demand fitting neatly together.

Honda's Cub used to own that market, so falling behind on electric would quietly hurt.

Japanese makers already have a thin presence in Africa, and the shift to electric might widen that gap further.

You could also say it's just becoming a feeding ground for Chinese manufacturers.

If it's actually matching local demand, isn't that different from just being picked clean?

The more fuel prices spike in a region, the harder electric's running-cost advantage lands.

Exactly this, electric spreading first from regions with expensive fuel is the most logical progression.
