The Global Electric Motorcycle & Scooters Market was valued at USD 36.4 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.1% to reach USD 110.6 billion by 2034. This market is witnessing rapid expansion driven by government policies, substantial infrastructure investments, and the growing demand for eco-friendly transportation options. Electric two-wheelers (E2Ws) have emerged as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, especially in urban areas with increasing traffic congestion. In countries like China and India, the adoption of electric motorcycles and scooters is rising quickly, aided by government subsidies, incentives, and programs aimed at promoting green mobility.

Government policies have played a key role in this transition by offering various subsidies, tax benefits, and low-emission zones to encourage the use of electric vehicles. Countries such as China, India, and several European nations have led this shift. China has long been the market leader in terms of production and sales, while India has witnessed explosive growth due to aggressive electrification targets and favorable policies. Programs like India's Go Electric initiative and various supply-side incentives have significantly boosted the adoption of electric two-wheelers, leading to greater market penetration.
