Motorcycles are often seen as a more cost-effective alternative to cars, especially in urban areas where traffic congestion is a major issue. Additionally, motorcycles are well-suited for navigating the region's challenging terrains, making them a popular choice for both urban and rural commuters.

As awareness about environmental issues grows, more consumers are seeking eco-friendly transportation options. Electric motorcycles offer a clean and sustainable alternative to traditional petrol-powered bikes, making them an attractive choice for environmentally-conscious consumers. The availability of government incentives and subsidies for electric vehicles has also contributed to the rising demand for electric motorcycles in the region.
