The movement toward electrification is transforming the transportation sector. Electric vehicles, trucks, buses and other fleets account for most of the change, but another form of electric vehicle is also revving up for growth. Released in the first quarter of this year, Guidehouse Insight's "Market Data: Electric Motorcycles" analyzes the global market for electric motorcycles (e-motorcycles). While they have been lagging behind other forms of electric transport, adoption of e-motorcycles is expected to increase over the next decade. One of the biggest challenges facing e-motorcycles has been the lack of range. According to Guidehouse, motorcycle consumers generally demand long ranges of 230 miles or more. The lack of space for sufficiently sized batteries makes it hard to address this issue and puts e-motorcycles at a competitive disadvantage against electric cars.
