Malaysia’s electric two-wheeler market is on an upward trajectory, driven by environmental consciousness, technological advancements, and supportive government policies. The Malaysian Electric Two-Wheeler Market is predicted to grow at a 15.4% CAGR during the forecast period 2025 to 2030 in terms of revenue size. This growth is driven by government initiatives including tax incentives and the installation of charging infrastructure and the need to curb vehicular emissions. The introduction of the RM2,400 rebate to purchasers earning not more than RM10,000 per month through MARiiCas by the Malaysian government is seen to be a primary driver.
