Once associated primarily with low-cost urban commuting, Chinese-made electric motorcycles are increasingly competing on performance, technology and design. Equipped with longer-range batteries, intelligent connectivity features and improved power systems, they are attracting riders ranging from daily commuters to recreational users.

　　Yadea's products are now sold in more than 100 countries and regions worldwide. The company has built extensive sales and service networks throughout Europe. In the first quarter of this year, its overseas sales surged by 70 percent year on year.

　　"For Europe, we design with rainy weather in mind. For Latin America, we adapt to more complex suburban and rural road conditions," Wang said. "We also offer a growing range of smart features and accessories, giving customers stronger value for money."

　　Official data show that China exported more than 26.7 million electric two-wheelers in 2025, with export value reaching nearly 6.83 billion U.S. dollars. In the first quarter of 2026, such exports climbed to approximately 7.2 million units, a year-on-year increase of 68.2 percent.

　　According to industry observers, behind the surge lies a combination of global market forces and industry-specific trends that are reshaping transportation choices across both developed and emerging economies.
