Sales of electric motorcycles (EV bikes) have surged in Mandalay due to the ongoing fuel shortage, with some shops reportedly running out of stock, according to local sources.

BTS subsidiary Smart EV Bike Co Ltd took over the parking lot next to Mo Chit Skytrain station on January 12 to introduce the Pinto electric motorcycle that aims to reduce the pain of the ‘last mile’ between public transport and home while generating income for those offering motorbike rides.
