Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) Chief Executive Tony Weber noted that the rise in scooter sales reflects a growing preference for practical and economical transport solutions among urban riders. "Scooters are clearly regaining popularity among urban riders. They provide a practical and economical transport option for short trips, commuting, and navigating city traffic," Weber stated.
Despite declines in other motorcycle categories—off-highway vehicles fell by 4.3%, off-road bikes decreased by 0.7%, and road bikes dropped by 3.8%—scooters have emerged as a resilient segment. This trend highlights the importance of offering flexible financing options tailored to the needs of urban commuters seeking cost-effective and efficient transportation solutions.
