Motorcycle Wholesaling, Retailing & Repair Services in Europe industry analysis

While stagnant incomes and economic headwinds have depressed sales of premium models, demand overall for traditional and electric motorcycles has boomed. Sales initially plunged in 2020 as wholesalers, retailers, and service centres closed during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, the pandemic sparked motorbike sales. They allowed for social distancing and a way to escape clustered urban areas. Food delivery companies benefitted hugely from social distancing restrictions, with motorcycles widely leveraged as a way to navigate busy urban areas in the most time-efficient way.
