1. Electric Scooter Market in Vietnam

With over 96 million people, Vietnam stands as the fourth-largest motorcycle market worldwide, with nearly half of its population owning motorcycles, making it one of the most promising markets for electric scooters in the world. The electric motorbike market in Vietnam has witnessed remarkable growth with several prominent brands which includes Selex Motors in the rising in recent years.

Dat Bike has achieved powerful recognition for its appealing and electric motorbikes, while Vinfast, a renowned automotive manufacturer, has expanded into the electric motorbike segment, elegant and technologically advanced scooters. Pega has made strides with its affordable and practical electric scooters. Yadea, a global electric vehicle manufacturer, offers stylish and high-performance electric scooters. Alongside these brands, other notable players also contribute to the vibrant electric motorbike market in Vietnam, offering consumers a wide selection of sustainable transportation options.

1.1 A Sustainable Future for Transportation 

In the realm of transportation, electric vehicles have emerged as a transformative force, offering not only significant cost savings but also a more sustainable alternative to conventional gasoline-powered motorcycles. The increasing ubiquity of electric vehicles worldwide not only promotes sustainable development but also integrates renewable energy into transportation systems. 

1.2 Challenges of Electric Vehicles in Vietnam

nevertheless, despite their numerous advantages, the adoption of electric scooters has faced formidable hurdles that hinder their widespread usage. The adoption of electric motorbikes in Vietnam faces several challenges that hinder their widespread usage. One of the key obstacles is the lack of charging infrastructure. The limited  availability of charging stations makes it difficult for electric motorbike owners to conveniently charge their vehicles, especially for those living in areas with limited access to charging points.

Furthermore, long charging times present another significant challenge. Compared to refueling a conventional motorbike with gasoline, the charging process for electric motorbikes takes significant longer and often requires several hours to fully charge the battery. This can cause inconvenience for users who require quick refueling for their daily commutation needs. In addition, the habits of users pose a challenge as well. Many Vietnamese motorbike users are practiced to the convenience of refueling their vehicles at roadside gasoline stations, making it challenging to transition to electric motorbikes that require a different approach to refueling, compelling the users to step out of their comfort zone.

Finally, the shorter traveling range of electric motorbikes compared to their gasoline counterparts can be a limitation, especially for individuals who frequently travel long distances or rely on theirs for extended periods without access to motorbike charging facilities. Thus, addressing these challenges is crucial to fostering the adoption of electric motorbikes in Vietnam.
