NEWS ROOM 6-21, 64
France has been the largest Moped
market YTD at 59,000 units
(+29.7%), followed by the
Netherlands at 40,478 units (-1.8%),
Germany third at 21,069 units
(+4.6%), Poland fourth at 14,144
units (+8.9%) and Italy fifth at 13,735
units (-7.6%).
The total number of electric units
registered in EU markets for the first
nine months of 2019 (PTWs - electric
Mopeds and Motorcycles) were
+66.9% at 56,244 units. However,
46,858 of those units were Mopeds
(+64.8%), with Motorcycles growing
quickly at +78.31%, but at just 9,386
units, volumes continue to be
surprisingly low with price-points,
inventory levels, dealer network
availability charging point access and
increasing use of rental points likely to
be the primary reasons for slow take-
up.
Some 2,051 electric Quadricycles
were registered in EU markets YTD,
which is down by -16.4% on the first
nine months of 2018.
