After two months of growth, the two-wheeler market is back in negative territory. The sudden and unexpected decline in scooters, until now the undisputed protagonists of 2025, weighs heavily, while motorcycles continue to flounder
While the many new features revealed during the latest edition of Eicma resonate, the world of two wheels is once again having to deal with the market which is still significantly suffering from the effects of the surplus of “end of series” registrations recorded at the very end of 2024 due to, at the time, the imminent entry into force of the Euro 5+ standard. November closes with a worrying negative sign after two months of growth, that is -14.50% compared to the same month last year and 15,630 units sold. A radical inversion due above all to the sudden decline in scooters, until now the undisputed protagonists of 2025: -4.81% in the penultimate month of the year with just 8,826 vehicles registered. The trickle of motorbikes continues, losing 23.62 percentage points, registering only 5,986 vehicles. Finally, mopeds seem to be sinking definitively: -30.20% and only 818 registrations.
