 Moreover, technological advancements like AI, ML, etc., and their integration in the electric scooters have surged lately due to smart decision-making, insightful analysis of the surroundings, connected vehicle technology, optimized route navigation, and real-time monitoring. Further, the increasing public-private partnership and investments in the development of the charging infrastructure support the market and the growing tourism. For instance, Electromin planned to expand the EV charging infrastructure by establishing more than 100 charging points by 2025, thus optimizing fleet management, hence supporting the market growth & expansion in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia Electric Scooter Market Scope:

Saudi Arabia Electric Scooter Market Driver:

National Vision 2030 & Increasing Government Support – The government support has increased lately in the market to attain carbon neutrality and attain Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, for effective management of traffic, to conserve depleting fossil fuels, focus on public health, and offer a quality of life to the citizens.

The rising rate of depleting fossil fuels, surging carbon emissions, and the need to improve public health have pushed the Saudi government to promote the adoption of electric products, including automotive. To support this shift, the government and the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing are investing heavily in the development of the scooter corridors, e-lanes, parking docks, and IoT-enabled charging infrastructure, supporting the growth of the electric scooter industry, in major cities like Riyadh and Mecca under the Urban Smart Mobility Corridor Project. Furthermore, the EV Charging Regulatory Framework, initiated in 2022, mandates 5% parking space for EVs and offers incentives for integrating EV charging stations for EVs, including electric scooters in malls, parking facilities, and commercial buildings nationwide.

The government initiatives, such as the Saudi Green Initiative, National Transport and Logistics Strategy, Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Development Program, NEOM Mobility Initiative, and others, have led to a spike in the adoption of electric scooters among the middle-income population. These programs offer several incentives and subsidies, further boosting the demand for electric scooters in the country.

Saudi Arabia Electric Scooter Market Opportunity:

Growing Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) & Partnerships – The government support and the mandates for the development and adoption of electric scooters create business-friendly opportunities, attracting the leading global automotive manufacturers to expand their units in the country.

Under Vision 2030, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is developing a resilient, low-cost, and self-sufficient electric automotive ecosystem, promoting the local manufacturing and assembling of scooters. For instance, the cross-border partnership of India’s Wardwizard Innovations and the Saudi Stakeholders, for the establishment of the local production of lithium-ion batteries and an assembly unit for the electric scooter. Similarly, the Vego Group has announced plans to set up the first domestic production unit of e-scooters by 2026, offering services to both commercial and individual consumers. Thus, such investments and partnerships promote the growth and demonstrate the growth trajectory of domestic production of electric scooters in the country. 

Saudi Arabia Electric Scooter Market Challenge:

High Upfront Cost Hindering Market Growth – The cost of an electric scooter, including purchasing and registration, is high in Saudi Arabia due to the import tariff, limited local production, advanced batteries, smart connectivity, etc.  

Most of the automotive electric components, such as batteries, sensors, motors, etc., are imported from other nations like China and Taiwan, due to the limited domestic production and the absence of a skilled workforce. Due to the ongoing geographical tensions amid the tariff and disruption in the supply chain, this results in an inflation of the cost of the components. Further, the design and engineering of the electric scooter, including the advanced components like hydraulic brakes, high-definition displays, and others, adds to the overall purchase cost of the electric scooter in Saudi Arabia. For instance, the price of the Honda Activa E model with the longer battery life and high performance, launched in 2025, is around USD1,255. Similarly, a mid-range budget model, Xiaomi 5 Max, with around 60km travel per charge, is around USD800. Thus, the purchasing cost of the electric scooter in a price-sensitive market like that of Saudi Arabia remains a hurdle, hence hampering the market growth & expansion.

Saudi Arabia Electric Scooter Market Trend:

Integration of Smart Technologies & Connectivity in Electric Scooters – The advances like AI, ML, cloud, IIoT, and others are gaining popularity in the electric automotive industry, including two-wheelers. It is due to the advanced anti-theft solutions, real-time monitoring & analysis, emergency alerts, optimized navigation, adaptive pedal assistance, etc.

The ongoing digitalization across the sectors, with the smart city initiatives of the government authorities, is one of the influential factors that has resulted in the integration of technologies in the electric scooters in Saudi Arabia. The integration of AI and ML algorithms in electric scooters monitors the real-time activities and surroundings and correlates with the existing information on the cloud servers, ensuring safe, secure, and smooth traveling. These technological solutions optimize the navigation route, predict maintenance, and analyze the connected components of the electric scooter, offering a premium and efficient travel experience. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and AI-powered remote locking and real-time GPS tracking offer additional support to the advanced cybersecurity solutions integrated into the electric Scooters, thus leading to a shift in consumers' preferences towards the smart electric scooters.

Several electric scooter manufacturers, like Dirajiti, Electromin, Ducati, and others, are adopting smart technologies into their e-scooters, offering app-based control features, anti-lock braking, and connectivity tools in Saudi Arabia. Thus, such advancements promote the growth of the e-scooter industry in the country.
