In recent years, with the continuous growth of the global motorcycle market, a new emerging mode of transportation, electric motorcycles, have been capturing the attention of investors and consumers. According to sources from a major investment institution, the global motorcycle market is estimated to be around 60 million units, with internal combustion motorcycles holding the vast majority of the market share. This means that once electric motorcycles gradually start replacing internal combustion ones, the electric motorcycle market will experience significant room for development.
Compared to traditional internal combustion motorcycles, electric motorcycles have unique advantages. Firstly, they do not rely on fossil fuels, reducing air pollution and energy consumption. Secondly, the energy costs of electric motorcycles are lower, especially with the continuous development of electric vehicle battery technology, gradually reducing charging costs. Lastly, the operating costs of electric motorcycles are lower, saving consumers fuel expenses.
However, the popularization of electric motorcycles is not an easy task and faces several challenges such as battery range, charging infrastructure development, safety performance, and regulatory policies. Although many electric motorcycle companies have launched mid-to-high-end products, these challenges must still be overcome to achieve widespread popularity of electric motorcycles.
In recent years, some emerging electric motorcycle companies have attracted venture capital attention. Since the second half of last year, electric motorcycle investment and financing activities have shown an accelerated trend, with companies like “Shawan Technology” and “Horwin Extra” securing million-dollar funding. In March of this year, the Southeast Asian electric motorcycle brand “SWAP” completed a multi-million dollar Pre-A+ financing round, having completed multiple rounds of financing in less than two years, injecting more dynamism into the development of the electric motorcycle market.
With the continuous advancement of technology, the electric motorcycle market has great potential. However, to achieve true popularization, several challenges must be overcome. Investors and consumers should pay attention to market trends to find suitable investment and consumption opportunities in this emerging market.
