Malaysia’s electric motorcycle market is set to gain two more locally assembled models, with Ni Hsin Group preparing to produce the Horwin SK3 and SK3 Plus in Selangor from early 2027. The move follows a manufacturing and distribution agreement between Ni Hsin’s wholly owned subsidiary, Ni Hsin EV Tech (NHEVT), and China’s Horwin International.
Assembly will take place at NHEVT’s facility in Seri Kembangan, with Horwin supplying the motorcycles in completely knocked-down (CKD) form. The agreement was signed at the EICMA Global EV trade show in Milan, Italy, on November 4, and announced in a Bursa Malaysia filing.
NHEVT is targeting 50% locally sourced components for the two models, which will be distributed exclusively by Ni Hsin in Malaysia and Turkiye. The company also plans to use Malaysia as an export base, with the locally assembled motorcycles eligible for export to Türkiye under the Malaysia-Türkiye Free Trade Agreement (MTFTA).
