Owing to their relative affordability, scooters are a motorcycle type which remains popular amongst biking enthusiasts who value a light, easy-to-ride motorcycle. Scooters vary by aesthetic characteristics, mode of operation, and engine capacity. Nowadays, scooters can be typically found in the engine capacity range of 50cc to as high as 650cc or more. Unlike many other motorcycle types, scooters have a robust bodywork which serves the chief purposes of concealing all the mechanical parts and providing a cleaner look as well as quieter operation.

Ease of use and ample storage space aside, the introduction of electric scooters is an innovation that is driving the adoption of scooters.

These services allow users to rent scooters on a short-term basis, providing convenience and flexibility for those who do not want to own a scooter. This trend has further increased the demand for scooters in the market, as it appeals to a wider range of consumers who may not have considered purchasing a scooter before.

This has led to an increase in scooter rentals and sales, particularly in tourist hotspots. Underlying macroeconomic factors have also played a role in the growth of the Scooters market in New Zealand. The country's strong economy and rising disposable incomes have increased consumer spending power, allowing more people to afford scooters. Additionally, government initiatives and incentives promoting sustainable transportation have further encouraged the adoption of scooters. In conclusion, the Scooters market in New Zealand is developing rapidly due to changing customer preferences, emerging trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.
