Improved Chinese technologies coupled with recent energy supply disruption have given an impetus to Bangladesh's electric bike sector, with manufacturers offering durable batteries at competitive prices.
The sector insiders say the electric two-wheeler is undergoing rapid expansion, driven by affordability, convenience, and shifting consumer sentiment amid volatility in global energy markets.
The sector is currently dominated by Chinese brands such as Yadea and Revoo, while domestic companies including Walton, Akij Group, Green Tiger, and RFL Group's RYDO are stepping up efforts to capture the market share and establish their own niches.
So far, around thirty importers have entered the market with approximately 30,000 units through both CBU (Completely Built Unit) and CKD (Completely Knocked Down) channels.
With improved battery technologies, now EV bikes can offer 200 KM range based on the battery capacity.
Imports from China alone are estimated at around Tk 3.0 billion annually, underscoring Beijing's growing footprint in Bangladesh's emerging electric mobility ecosystem.
