Rise in Electric Two-Wheelers
Australia is experiencing a shift towards electric two-wheelers, driven by environmental concerns, rising fuel prices, and government incentives. With approximately 5–7% of Australians owning e-scooters and over 400,000 imported between 2018 and 2023, electric scooters and bikes have become popular urban commuting solutions. These vehicles offer cost-effective, low-emission alternatives, especially in congested cities. Brands like Fonz and Vmoto are expanding their electric offerings, while state-level policies provide rebates and infrastructure development to encourage EV adoption. Charging infrastructure is gradually expanding, further encouraging the adoption of two-wheelers. While the market is still in its early stages compared to regions like China and the EU, growing consumer interest in sustainability and innovation is fueling the growth of the Australian two-wheeler market. Together, technological advancements and supportive public policy are making electric two-wheelers a viable and attractive option for Australian commuters.
Urban Commuting and Micro-Mobility Demand
With growing congestion in Australian cities, two-wheelers are becoming effective solutions for urban mobility. Motorbikes and scooters enable commuters to avoid traffic and save time, making them perfect for regular city commutes. This phenomenon is especially prominent among young riders and gig economy workers who need affordable, agile means of transportation further impacting the Australia two-wheeler market outlook. City governments are also retaliating with improved two-wheeler infrastructure, including exclusive parking and more liberal licensing arrangements for low-power scooters. Further, the emergence of on-demand rideshare and delivery services like Uber Eats has spurred higher demand for smaller two-wheelers. Together, these elements contribute to an emerging micro-mobility culture in larger cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.
Growing Popularity of Adventure and Off-Road Bikes
Australia's vast landscapes and strong outdoor culture have fueled a surge in popularity for adventure and off-road motorcycles. In 2024, off-road motorcycle sales reached 41,178 units, a 2.6% increase from the previous year, reflecting growing demand for dual-sport and trail bikes suited to both on-road travel and rugged terrains. Enthusiasts are drawn to weekend getaways, long-distance touring, and off-the-beaten-path exploration, embracing the trend of "experiential" motorcycling. Events like off-road rallies and expanding online communities further ignite interest in this segment. Major brands like KTM, Yamaha, and BMW are responding with models tailored to Australian conditions, blending durability with comfort. This niche is steadily growing, attracting both seasoned riders and newcomers eager to explore beyond city limits and experience the freedom of the open road.
