One buyer also shared his experience:
“In the morning, a shop had two EV bikes. One was already being purchased. I didn’t like the colour of the other one, so I went to check the motorcycle dealer area near 38th Street, but couldn’t find any. I came back about an hour later to buy that bike, but it was already gone.”
Currently, buyers prefer new EV motorcycles because they are concerned about battery warranties for used bikes.
As a result, the market for second-hand EV bikes remains weak.
Meanwhile, riders of fuel-powered motorcycles reportedly have to wait in line at petrol stations for about two hours and can only buy fuel worth around 5,000 kyats at a time.
