We already know that scooters are the most highly desirable mode of transportation in the Asian market, thanks to their affordability, convenience, and economy. It goes without saying that as more and more electric offerings hit the market, scooters will increase even further in popularity, as electric scooters have the potential to offer even more savings in terms of fuel, maintenance, and even road tax, in certain countries.
In Malaysia, in particular, a new player in the electric scooter game could soon enter the market, and possibly even be manufactured locally, further hinting at the possibility of a super-affordable electric scooter. According to The Edge Markets, the manufacturer of automotive components EP Manufacturing signed a contract in March with Sharkgulf Technologies Group and CIS Pride Silver Rock Fund for the production and sale of two-wheeled electric vehicles for Malaysia and other Southeast Asian markets, heralding further expansion in the electrified transportation sector.
