Electric Scooter and Motorcycle Market by Vehicle (E-Scooters/Mopeds E-Motorcycles), Battery (Lead Acid Li-Ion), Distance, Voltage (36V, 48V, 60V, 72V, Above 72V), Technology Usage(Private, Commercial), Vehicle Class Region. Global Forecast to 2028
[392 Pages Report] The global electric scooter and motorcycle market, by value, is estimated to be USD 4.9 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 14.7 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 24.8% from 2023 to 2028. With rising emission levels, increasing prices, and the limited availability of petroleum, the demand for zero-emission alternative fuel vehicles has increased. This has, in turn, increased the demand for electric two-wheelers during the last few years.
The most important part of any electric two wheeler is its battery. The performance, efficiency, and price of electric two wheelers are dependent on the battery installed. Till 2020, most electric scooters and motorcycles were offered with lead-acid batteries. However, two wheeler manufacturers are now focused on the development and installation of more advanced li-ion batteries in new electric scooters and motorcycles to overcome the disadvantages of lead-acid batteries. The economic growth and a rapidly growing population in India have made it imperative for the country to enhance its commuting media. The Indian Government offers buyers incentives to promote electric two-wheelers in the region. Asia Pacific region has major market players such as NIU International (China), Okinawa Autotech Internationall Private Limited (India), Jiangsu Xinri E-Vehicle Co., Ltd (China), Hero Electric (India), Yadea Technology Group Co.,Ltd. (China) and others that offer a wide range of electric scooters with advanced connectivity features for end-use applications. The implementation of new technologies and the establishment of new government regulations drive the electric scooter and motorcycle market in this region. In January 2023, Exicom, entered into an agreement with Hero Electric to supply Battery Management Systems (BMS) for the latter’s electric two-wheelers in India.

Driver: Implementation of Battery Swapping Technology
Battery swapping is a new technology that allows owner of electric vehicle to swap out their dying or dead battries with fully charged one. This development could completely transform the E2W market and improve the comfort and ease of long-distance driving for motorists. Automatic and manual battery switching are the two main methods that are use in battery swapping. The automated approach involves changing batteries with a robotic arm, much like changing of oil at a gas station. In manual technique where drained battery must be removed from the car and replaced with the fully charged.
The fact that range anxiety, a typical worry among EV users, is eliminated is one of the main advantages of battery swapping. With this technology in place, drivers won’t have to worry about becoming stuck without a charge because all they have to do is stop at a switch station when they run out of power. Furthermore, because battery-swapping stations are far less expensive to construct than conventional gas stations, they are more accessible to communities that might not otherwise have access to fuelling choices. This may have a significant impact, especially in rural areas and underdeveloped nations where EV use is growing. In addition to this, Government are making policies and investment for development of battart sanpping station. For Instance, In February 2023, Indian Government in financial budget 2023 announced to introduce a Battery Swapping Policy and interoperability standards to improve efficiency in the EV ecosystem. Such quick investments and advancements in battery technology will solve the problem of range limitation in electric two-wheelers, which positively encouraging customers to favour electric scooters and motorcycles.
Restraint: Lack of power output and limited range
The market for electric scooters and motorcycles is still in its early stages of development. Although manufacturers employ cutting-edge design and technology, these vehicles have not yet reached the efficiency and power levels of traditional two-wheelers. The majority of the electric bikes and scooters that have recently been released don’t have the power output that customers want. A few concept models that meet the performance and design parameters have been developed by manufacturers.
Range limitation is another significant issue that is seen as a barrier in the market for electric scooters and motorcycles. Electric two-wheelers lack fuel tanks, in contrast to traditional two-wheelers. The range that a completely charged battery can reach is considerably less than that of traditional two-wheelers. Most electric two-wheelers currently available have a range of up to 100–120 miles. Because of this, consumers are wary of buying electric two-wheelers, especially those who make frequent long distance trips.
Opportunity: Use of IoT and Smart Infrastructure in Electric Two Wheelers Charging Station for Load Management
The increasing adoption of smartphones and connectivity solutions has inspired electric two wheelers manufacturers to integrates smartphones with the velectric two wheelers and infrastructure instruments clusters for more enhanced operation. Smartphones can be easily connected Via wireless LAN (WLAN), USB, or Bluetooth. Most Electric Two Wheelers charging station manufacturers have been developing Smart electric two wheelers charging stations, Which come with IoT based feature for load management and Smart connectivity. Home charging stations these days come with software for charging analysis of electric two wheelers. Meanwhile, public and semi-public electric two wheelers charging station come with Smart payments and power managements features for better power control and ease of electric two wheeler charging by customers combined with automated payment features.
Challenge: Initial investments and high cost of electricity
Electric two wheelers have lower operating costs than ICE two wheelrs in the long term. However, initial investment are higher than those for conventional two wheelers. The components used in electric two wheelers such as batteries, motors, and other electric components are more expensive than conventional mechanical parts. The electric two wheeler battery cost 40-50% of the overall production cost. At present, most manufacturers offer electric two wheelers along with charging solutions, making it can expensive initial investment for buyers. The high cost involved in developing electric two wheelers and relatated components such as batteries and monitoring systems is a major restraint for electric two wheeler adopting. The electric two wheeler battery need frequent and fast charging through additional equipment such as electric chargers, which are only aavailable at EV charging stations. The battery, charger, and installation cost of the charger add to the cost of the electric two wheelers, making them costlier than traditional ICE two wheelers.
The E-scooter/moped segment is expected to be the largest segment during the forecast period
E-scooter/moped is projected to form the largest segment in the electric scooter and motorcycle market during the forecast period due to the lower initial price than e-motorcycles and growing demand for affordable commuting. For instance, Nexzu Mobility has evolved into a holistic electric mobility company that operates in both B2B and B2C segments for electric two wheeler with the intention of bringing stylish and futuristic eco-friendly vehicles to consumers at an affordable price the segment is also estimated to be the fastest growing due to the higher adoption rate in the market across the globe. Electric scooters are suited for multiple end-use applications, making them preferable to electric motorcycles.
Electric scooters/mopeds offer the benefit of energy-efficient daily commuting and help reduce pollution. Several well-established two-wheeler manufacturers have entered the electric scooters/mopeds segment. For instance, In January 2023, Damon Motors, announced a partnership with PT Indika Energy Tbk., Indonesia’s leading diversified energy company. Indika has also made an undisclosed investment in Damon and will serve as the distributor for Damon’s line of motorcycles in the Indonesian market. Several other players have developed new models of electric scooters.
Silence Urban Ecomobility (Spain), NIU International (China), Okinawa (India), Jiangsu Xinri E-Vehicle Co., Ltd (China), Hero electric (India), Yadea (China), etc., offer a wide range of electric scooters with advanced connectivity features for end-use applications. So, the electric scooters/mopeds market is estimated to grow significantly over the forecast period.

Electric Scooter VS Motorcycle: Which Is Right For You?
What do you need to know about an electric scooter vs motorcycle?
There is no doubt that there are plenty of alternative transportation choices available in the market for commuters. There are bikes, gas motorcycles, and electric scooters, to name a few. Electric scooters and gas motorcycles are popular modes of transport. Today, they are some of the most efficient commuting solutions. But between these an electric scooter vs motorcycle, which one is right for you?
Electric scooter vs. motorcycle has been a long-debated topic. Aside from being beneficial for the environment, many people were debating the benefits of electric scooters over gas motorcycles. Fast forward to modern days, electric scooter brands, such as Segway Ninebot, have developed innovative features to what electric scooters are capable of. As a result, more and more people are ordering these vehicles.
Nonetheless, choosing between an electric scooter and a motorcycle depends on various factors. Continue reading to learn about these.
Engine
The main difference between electric scooters and motorcycles is that electric scooters run on lithium-ion batteries, while motorcycles run on an internal combustion engine. This is why electric scooters have a much simpler mechanism.
Torque and Power
If you pay close attention to performance, electric scooters have a distinct advantage over gas motorcycles.
Electric scooters are two-wheeled vehicles that are plugged into electricity to function. Then, the electricity is stored in the battery, which can drive multiple electric motors. For that reason, electric scooters can reach their peak power and deliver maximum torque instantly from 0 revolutions per minute (RPM). In addition, electric scooters can maintain consistent torque and power through the whole RPM range.
In comparison, gas motorcycles take longer to reach peak power and torque. Both these require the internal combustion engine to spin at a certain high RPM.
Maintenance
Both electric scooters and motorcycles need to be maintained from time to time. However, with electric scooters maintenance becomes much easier.
As said earlier, electric scooters are equipped with lithium-ion batteries that are very easy to maintain. Simply charge the electric scooter using the provided battery regularly. Then, store the battery in a cool dry place when not in use.
Electric scooters also have fewer parts. These do not need any more maintenance effort than checking suspension screws and changing brake pads as needed. over, electric scooters have no oil that needs to be changed, no valves that need to be adjusted, no air filters that need to be replaced, and no clutch that needs to be replaced.
On the other hand, a motorcycle has an internal combustion engine and numerous small components to make the motorcycle function. This includes filters, timing belts, sparks plugs, and more.
Cost
Electric scooters are cheaper to own in the long run than motorcycles. The most costly parts of an electric scooter in the electric motor and battery. Of course, the low cost due to the low maintenance of electric scooters will always be relevant.
With gas motorcycles, you have to maintain many components. Motorcycle part replacement and maintenance can be costly.
And given that electric scooters use electricity to power their motors, you will never need to stop for gas. Motorcycles need gas to function. With the continuously rising gas prices, electric scooters are certainly more affordable to own. This is why electric scooters are gaining popularity in the Philippines.
Electric scooters are also almost free to charge. These only consume a few kilowatts to be fully charged. Trust us when we say, you won’t even notice the change in the electricity bill. If you need only a short ride to work, you can purchase an electric scooter with a short-range battery, which is even more affordable.
Portability
Electric scooters are very practical to buy because they are lightweight and foldable. Take the Segway Ninebot KickScooter ES2 as an example. This electric scooter in the Philippines weighs only 12.5 kg and it can be folded with only one step.
With an electric scooter, you do not need to find a parking spot every day. Simply fold it in second and store it under your office desk. It is very compact. With motorcycles, you will always have to find a parking spot because they are non-foldable.
Electric scooters can also solve the first and last-mile problem, wherein commuters need to walk to the nearest public transportation going to their destination and need to walk to another public transportation to get to their homes. Simply ride your electric scooter to the nearest bus, train, or jeepney station, and fold it to get to your destination. When going home, simply take out your electric scooter to avoid walking all the way home after stepping out of public transportation.
Key Takeaway
In this article, we’ve rounded up the differences between an electric scooter and a motorcycle. Electric scooters hold an advantage over motorcycles when it comes to engine mechanism, eco-friendliness, torque and power, maintenance, cost, and portability.
