Electric motorcycles and scooters have continued to make steady gains throughout the past few years. Energica has expanded its presence in the U.S. and Harley-Davidson spin-off LiveWire just sold out the S2 Del Mar Launch Edition in 18 minutes. While EV progress in the States seems more like a marathon, Europeans are sprinting to the dealerships for electric motorcycles and scooters.
That trend is evident in several countries, with Italy, France, and Germany reporting triple-digit improvements. Italians purchased 2,100 units in the first three months of the year, resulting in a 108.1-percent spike over the previous year. France moved 2,144 units during that same period, which accounts for a 150.8-percent increase compared to Q1 2021. Germany outpaced both those countries though, with 1,559 new electric model registrations equating to a 153.9-percent uptick over its 2021 numbers.
