Electric motorcycles have still not convincingly gained popularity.
The electric motorcycle market remains very marginal in France. In the first half of the year, it accounted for a volume of 837 registrations, according to data collected by AAA Data.
Admittedly, 50 cc electric models are not included in this count, but this does not fundamentally change the situation. The world of motorcycles remains largely resistant to electric propulsion, and the offerings are developing much more slowly than in the automotive sector. The constraints are not the same either. As it stands, the ban on thermal engines in Europe starting in 2035 does not concern two-wheeled vehicles.
Super Soco leads electric motorcycle sales in France
With 329 motorcycles registered from January to June, Super Soco ranks at the top among manufacturers. The Chinese brand achieves this with just one model: the TC Max, a small equivalent to a 125.
Zero Motor takes second place, but with only 155 registrations, the American company is already far behind Super Soco. The ZF and the S account for most of the sales, with 59 and 52 registrations respectively.
Third place in the rankings goes to Electric Motion. Specializing in electric trials, this French manufacturer recorded 102 registrations from January to June.
Harley Davidson struggles
Energica, an Italian brand that exclusively sells electric motorcycles, has only sold 7 units of its touring model Ego. No other model from the manufacturer appears in the registration data for the first half of the year.
Harley Davidson has an even more disappointing score, with only 5 Livewire registrations in the first half. KTM, for its part, sold 26 units of the E-XC.
The Spanish brand Ebroh performed relatively well, with 96 registrations of its Bravo GLE. RGNT and Horwin finished the quarter with 18 and 35 registrations respectively. Cake, which has just arrived in France, sold 2 Kalk and 8 Osa models.
