Prohibition of certain city centers to the most polluting vehicles explains the enthusiasm around electric two-wheelers. Here is the Top 10 best-selling models in France.
While purists will assert, and rightly so, that a motorcycle cannot be compared to a car, it must be noted that the market for thermal two-wheelers and four-wheelers is not thriving. According to the organization AAA DATA, 290,010 mopeds and motorcycles were sold in France during the 2022 fiscal year, representing a 7% decrease.
Nevertheless, despite these rather disappointing figures, the future of electric vehicles seems much more promising. While skeptics will say that electric models were completely nonexistent just five years ago, the market is rapidly evolving due to upcoming bans in city centers and the introduction of paid parking, which is still not accepted by thermal two-wheel owners. In 2022 alone, 50,992 electric mopeds and motorcycles were sold, a nearly 52% increase compared to the previous year.
Still relatively unknown to the general public, electric two-wheelers are numerous on the market, with the Chinese wave offering new models almost daily. Here is the Top 10 of electric two-wheelers sold in France in 2022.
- BMW CE 04 – 2,429
- Silence S01 – 1,452
- Super Soco TC MAX – 771
- Super Soco CPX – 602
- EFun Pulse – 585
- Niu MGT Pro – 472
- Piaggio One – 456
- Seat Mo – 353
- Sakura JS2A – 313
- Swapper X – 264
As we can see, despite its high price (13,215 €) and ultra-futuristic look, the now-famous BMW CE 04 is leading the sales. Its impressive performance, fast charging, and interesting autonomy make it a highly sought-after model. We haven’t tried it yet, but it won’t be long; the Spanish Silence has achieved a great feat with its S01, sold at 6,990 €, which features a convenient battery extraction system. Finally, the third place goes to the Chinese Super Soco, which offers compact and retro-style motorcycles of good quality. Its TC Max is sold at 4,780 €.
