Motorcycle sales are soaring. From Nanjing to New York City, two wheels are becoming the preferred mode of transport around large cities as a way to travel in a socially-distanced way.
In China, the world s largest motorcycle market, more than 1.5million bikes were sold in August, up 6.8% since the previous year. It s a similar story in India, Italy, Germany, Latin America, and the UK (where motorcycle sales were up by 42% year-on-year in July). And the majority of these sales are of mopeds and small city-style bikes.
