From a market perspective, this is a good example of demand's 'geographic migration.' Shrinking two-wheeler demand in China's county towns gets absorbed as a necessity in Egypt.

This is what it looks like when the center of gravity for two-wheelers worldwide shifts — with China, on the supply side, skillfully bridging both ends.

It's probably natural that domestic demand for utility bikes falls as a country becomes more developed.

Domestic contraction and overseas expansion happening at the same time is exactly the kind of thing I'd want to see broken down in numbers.

Seems like plenty of other African countries besides Egypt are probably similar export destinations.
