Riding on the upward surge of the micromobility trend, the motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds market is poised for significant growth. Micromobility entails a transportation mode that utilizes small, lightweight vehicles designed for short-distance travel in urban or densely populated areas. This trend is fostering the adoption of electric motorbikes and scooters, especially in urban settings, by promoting awareness of two-wheeled transportation and aligning it with environmental concerns. A case in point is the National Association of City Transportation Officials reporting a nearly twofold increase in dockless e-scooter trips in December 2022, soaring from 33 million in 2020 to 62.5 million in 2021, constituting 56% of all shared micromobility journeys that year. As a result, the motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds market is being propelled by the escalating micromobility trend.
The rising trend of micromobility is expected to drive the growth of the motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds market in the future. Micromobility refers to a mode of transport involving small, lightweight vehicles, typically designed for short-distance travel within urban or densely populated areas. This trend promotes the adoption of electric motorbikes and scooters by increasing awareness of two-wheeled transport, especially in urban environments, while also aligning with environmental concerns. For example, in August 2023, the North America Bikeshare and Scootershare Association (NABSA), a US-based trade organization, reported that in 2022, North Americans took approximately 157 million trips on shared micromobility vehicles, marking a 23% increase from 2021. Therefore, the rising trend of micromobility is fueling the growth of the motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds market.
The expanding tourism sector is expected to contribute to the growth of the motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds market moving forward. Tourism involves individuals traveling and staying in locations outside their usual surroundings for leisure, recreation, or business purposes. Motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds are commonly used in the tourism sector as convenient and flexible transportation options, enhancing mobility and exploration for travelers. For instance, in May 2024, a report from the International Trade Administration (ITA), a US-based agency, stated that in 2023, 66.5 million international visitors traveled to the United States, a 31% increase from 2022. Therefore, the growth of the tourism industry is driving the expansion of the motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds market.
Major companies in the motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds market are strategically developing innovative products equipped with advanced technologies, such as auto-balancing technology, to gain a competitive edge. Auto-balancing technology refers to a self-stabilizing system that enables scooters to automatically maintain balance, ensuring a smooth and stable riding experience for users. For example, in January 2023, Liger Mobility, an India-based motor-vehicle manufacturing company, introduced the Liger X and Liger X+, the world's first self-balancing electric scooters. These scooters feature the patented 'AutoBalancing' technology, delivering automatic balance at low speeds and enhancing rider safety, comfort, and convenience. The e-scooters utilize liquid-cooled lithium-ion batteries designed for Indian conditions, with advanced algorithms ensuring thermal safety and predictive maintenance. Both models are equipped with 4G, GPS, and a mobile app for live tracking, ride history, and smart alerts, providing a distinctive riding experience with features such as FeetFreeStop, ReverseRide, and Learner mode.
