The Asia Pacific electric two-wheeler market size was valued at USD 4.54 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 9.31 billion by 2035 at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period 2025-2032. Electric two-wheelers are evolving rapidly, and many manufacturers are transitioning from hub motors to mid-drive systems, which deliver strong torque, improved handling, and greater drivetrain efficiency, especially on inclines or mixed terrain. LFP-based battery packs are preferred for commuter-grade scooters due to their safety and longer lifespan, while higher-energy-density chemistries (NMC/NCA) are chosen for performance-oriented bikes to deliver an excellent range-to-weight balance and energy density. Manufacturers are also embracing modular or split battery layouts, making maintenance easier, offering flexibility in range (or battery swapping), and simplifying servicing. On the electronics front, advanced battery-management systems routinely include cell balancing, thermal monitoring, and state-of-health analytics features, enabling predictive maintenance, safer charging, and consistent performance under varying conditions. Together, these changes are driving a shift toward electric two-wheelers that are more powerful, safer, efficient, and easier to maintain.
“Above 100-mile electric scooters and motorcycles are expected to see strong growth during the forecast period.”
Electric scooters and motorcycles with over 100 miles of range are expected to see significant growth during the forecast period. They address one of the main barriers to electric two-wheeler adoption, range anxiety, and bring performance closer to that of ICE counterparts. Consumers with longer daily commutes or occasional long trips increasingly expect more than city-only range; models capable of 100 miles or more offer greater flexibility and convenience. Advances in battery energy density, motor efficiency, and thermal management are making higher-range models more affordable and practical, shifting them from a premium niche to broader markets. Additionally, fleet and delivery operators, who prioritize uptime and fewer charge cycles, are likely to prefer higher-range models to reduce downtime and reliance on charging infrastructure. With governments and OEMs promoting the electrification of two-wheelers, vehicles offering 100+ miles become a key product segment, boosting their market share. Models such as Ola Electric’s S1 series electric scooters, Gogoro 2 Premium, Gogoro 2 Utility, Zero DS, and Zero S all feature ranges exceeding 100 miles.

“Lithium-ion batteries are expected to lead the electric two-wheeler market during the forecast period.”
In Asia Pacific, lithium-ion batteries are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for electric two-wheelers. Their high energy density allows scooters and bikes to be lighter and travel further, making them attractive for commuters and fleet services. For instance, Honda in India launched the Honda Activa e in January 2025, a commuter-focused scooter with swappable lithium-ion batteries, demonstrating how OEMs are utilizing Li-ion packs to enhance convenience and adoption. Likewise, Bajaj Auto introduced the affordable Bajaj Chetak 3001 in mid-2025, built on an updated platform with a lithium-ion battery pack aimed at making electric mobility more accessible. Lithium-ion batteries also enable more compact, efficient designs and faster charging, ideal for congested Asian cities and urban commuting patterns. As lithium-ion pack prices decrease and battery management and thermal management technologies improve, these batteries help lower maintenance costs and extend vehicle lifespan, thereby reducing the total cost of ownership over time. The activity of major OEMs reflects this shift, helping electric two-wheelers gain momentum across the region.
Malaysia to grow at the fastest rate in the Asia Pacific electric two-wheeler market during the forecast period
Malaysia is emerging as one of the fastest-growing markets for electric two-wheelers in the Asia Pacific, driven by increasing demand for affordable and efficient mobility. With operating costs up to 70–80% lower than petrol models, e-scooters are gaining popularity among budget-conscious commuters. Government incentives, expanding charging networks, and growing interest in localized assembly are further accelerating adoption. Meanwhile, larger markets such as China, India, Taiwan, and Vietnam continue to scale up production and expand model options, thereby strengthening Asia’s position as the global hub for electric two-wheeler manufacturing and innovation, with Malaysia becoming an increasingly important contributor to this growth.
