"Two-wheelers are essential to road transportation in much of the world. From
Bogotá to Jakarta, motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds offer a nimble and
affordable mode of personal mobility.
More than 85% of Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian households and more than 50%
of Indian households own a two-wheeler. These vehicles serve diverse roles,
from daily commuting to last-mile delivery and taxi services in urban and rural
areas.
Electrification of the two-wheeler fleet will bring great benefits in
decarbonizing the road transportation sector and reducing consumers’ fuel
costs.
The transition will also pave the way for air quality and health benefits:
electric two-wheelers (e2Ws) emit zero tailpipe emissions, reducing harmful
pollution that two-wheeler riders and drivers are most directly exposed to.
Producing e2Ws is also a great starting point for countries seeking to build up
domestic electric vehicle manufacturing capacity.
With all of these potential benefits, how much traction are e2W gaining around
the world? We couldn’t wait for the year to wrap up, so we took a sneak peek at
January–October 2025 sales figures from
MotorCycles Data to look for signs of
progress. Here’s what we found"
