Test post

Everyone else had a good month: TVS remained the market leader with sales of 22,230 units, a 13.1% jump from July 24 sales of 19,655 units. The year-on-year decline is all due to a collapse in Ola Electric's numbers. In July 2024, the company had sold 41,802 scooters. In July 2025,...

InsightEV Weekender: Week 32

Greetings and welcome back to the InsightEV Weekender. Here, I like to focus on things beyond what we covered during the week. I didn't show up for the last two weeks because there was nothing much to chirp about. Also, I have been busy editing a fairly big report that...

When Dreams are Redrawn

Global electric two-wheeler brands that promise to stretch the product or technology envelopes are like cult movies. They failed when they needed to work. But once they died, everyone remembers them fondly. They have more fans than customers, and that's a pity. Everyone loves a back-from-the-dead story. A story that presumably...

Ather Improves Key Measurables

India-based Ather Energy released its Q1 FY 2026 numbers yesterday. There is a significant improvement in nearly all measurables, and the Bengaluru-based premium scooter manufacturer appears to be on the right track. The Indian market thinks so, as this was how the Ather Energy stock reacted yesterday. The technical chartists amongst...

Groms in the American Future

The Honda Grom is a funny motorcycle, if one can call it a motorcycle, that is. With 12" wheels, it has the stature of a scooter. With a 30" saddle height, it can be a reasonable steed for riders of all heights under 6'1". Before woke became fashionable, the Grom...

InsightEV Weekender: Week 29

Greetings and welcome back to the InsightEV Weekender. Here, I like to focus on things we did not cover during the week. Stark Shows What is Possible ...when you do things right, that is. This week was all about Spain-based Stark Future's quarterly results. For Q2 2025, the Barcelona-based company reported revenue...

Honda Needs to Course Correct in India

About a year back, we looked at where Honda was in its electrification journey. The world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer, with an estimated 35% share of the global two-wheeler market, had just started taking baby steps when it came to electrification. Was Honda deliberately slow? Was the company's strategy so grand that...

Ola Electric Q1 FY 2026 Financials

At InsightEV, we like to maintain a running account of the financials of every publicly traded E2W manufacturer. We do the same for Ola Electric. It provides an easy historical reference for the company's journey over the last many quarters. The Numbers have all changed... However, Ola's financial numbers reported today have...

InsightEV Weekender: Week 28

Greetings and welcome back to the InsightEV Weekender. Here, I like to focus on things we did not cover during the week. If you miss the Weekender on certain weekends, it means we did not publish—it is because there was nothing noteworthy that I should send to distract you from...

Yadea and the New Chinese

Over the last two weeks, we have been analysing why there is no electric two-wheeler brand to rival Tesla's success in the electric car market. Almost all brands are geographically constrained and limited by the lack of a technological edge or financial strength. We also checked what may provide an...

Niu Q2 Numbers: China Delivers; International Falters

We love Niu as a company and admire what it has done for electric mobility. Only one complaint - their communication department needs to start breaking down numbers by vehicle format. The numbers you see below are inclusive of electric bikes, electric scooters, electric motorcycles, and even electric kick scooters. Not...

The Perfect Motorcycle?

This post has been edited and republished on 7th Jul 2025. In the original post, the weight specifications of the Matter Aera and the Raptee.HV was wrongly published. The error is regretted, and we have edited and re-published the post. The electric superbike is still an unattainable holy grail as the...
