China’s electric two-wheeler exports rose nearly 38% to $7.3 billion in the first nine months of 2026, led by strong growth in Latin America and Africa as manufacturers sought to offset declining domestic sales.

Export volume increased 28% to 26 million units, according to data released by the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products. Export value to Latin America climbed 137% to $1.1 billion, while shipments to Africa rose 76% to $228 million.
