Motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds are two-wheeled motorized vehicles designed for personal transportation. Motorcycles typically feature more powerful engines and higher speeds, while scooters are characterized by step-through frames, platforms for the rider's feet, and automatic transmissions. Mopeds, on the other hand, are motorized bicycles with small engines, often under 50cc, and are equipped with pedals for manual propulsion in addition to the motorized engine.
The primary types of these vehicles are motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds. Motorcycles are two-wheeled motorized vehicles powered by an engine, typically featuring a saddle seat and handlebars for steering. They are available in various engine capacities, including up to 150cc, 151-300cc, 301-500cc, and above 500cc, catering to residential, commercial, and various other applications.

The motorcycles, scooters and mopeds market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $376.14 billion in 2025 to $399.93 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to urban population growth, affordability of two wheelers, fuel efficiency needs, expansion of delivery services, congestion in metropolitan areas.
The motorcycles, scooters and mopeds market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $513.78 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to government support for electric two wheelers, expansion of charging infrastructure, growth of urban mobility demand, rising environmental awareness, innovation in lightweight materials. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of electric scooters, growth of compact urban two wheelers, increasing demand for fuel efficient models, expansion of shared two wheeler services, customization of two wheeler designs.
The growth of electric two-wheelers is expected to drive the motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds market in the coming years. Electric two-wheelers include battery-powered motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, and e-bikes that use electric motors instead of internal combustion engines for propulsion. Their rising popularity is supported by expanding urban micromobility infrastructure and government incentives for zero-emission vehicles, as cities invest in bike lanes, charging stations, and shared mobility programs, while federal and state authorities provide tax credits and rebates to encourage adoption. Increased usage of electric two-wheelers boosts the overall motorcycle, scooter, and moped segment by attracting new customer groups, increasing ridership, and driving technological innovation across the two-wheeler category. For instance, in October 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) reported that shared micromobility trips on electric scooters and bikes rose from 130 million in 2022 to 133 million in 2023, with scooters accounting for 65 million trips and bikes 68 million trips, highlighting the growing adoption of electric two-wheelers in American cities. Therefore, the expansion of electric two-wheelers is fueling growth in the motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds market.
Major companies in the motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds market are increasingly focusing on electric scooters and e-mobility two-wheelers to meet the rising demand for sustainable urban transport, lower emissions, quieter commuting, and regulatory compliance in densely populated and fast-growing markets. Electric scooters replace traditional internal-combustion-engine bikes with electric motors and battery packs, eliminating tailpipe emissions, reducing noise, and offering easier maintenance, instant torque, and lower long-term costs. For instance, in November 2025, Yamaha Motor, a Japan-based motorcycle and scooter manufacturer, launched two new electric scooter models-AEROX E and EC 06-for the Indian market. The AEROX E is a sport-scooter EV developed in-house, delivering Yamaha's signature sporty design in all-electric form, while the EC-06, developed in collaboration with EV startup River Mobility (India), targets a broader commuter segment with a "stylish & cool" design for practical urban mobility.
In January 2023, RattanIndia Enterprises, an India-based diversified technology and finance company, acquired Revolt Motors for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, RattanIndia aims to scale up Revolt Motors' growth and position it as the largest electric two-wheeler manufacturer in India. Revolt Motors is an India-based manufacturer specializing in designing and producing electric motorcycles for the consumer two-wheeler industry.
