In the electric two-wheeler market, scooters have been received really well by the Indian consumers. However, since there aren’t many electric motorcycle models available, companies are aiming to gain a significant market share by introducing high-tech electric bikes. We expect around 20 electric motorcycles to be launched in the next two to three years. The younger generation has a bias towards bikes, which has also been taken into consideration by electric scooter manufacturers. Let’s have a look at the top 5 upcoming electric motorcycles in 2023:
