Faced with the positive data at a general level, the month of July 2023 again shows negative data in terms of registrations in the sector of motorcycles and 100% electric light vehicles (category L) with a decrease of 6.6% compared to the records of the same month of the previous year.
Scooters, motorcycles and microcars fell, while the great growth of mopeds and tricycles, due to their low weight in the market, was unable to offset the negative figures. However, the share of penetration of electric vehicles stands at 6.8%, which is a good figure compared to other types of vehicles.
The general secretary of ANESDOR, José María Riaño, explained that “electric motorcycles need an urgent review of the MOVES Plan. We must include mopeds and motorcycles of more than €10,000, which are the ones with the highest benefits and allow extra-urban mobility. In addition, bureaucracy must be reduced and the receipt of aid has to be expedited. The next government must be aware and act quickly to achieve a more favorable scenario.
In the general calculation of motorcycles (mopeds, scooters and motorcycles) the market experienced a decrease of 4.5%, despite the growth of the moped, which thanks to the registration of company fleets rose by 82.2% (with 727 units). , while that of the scooter decreased by 32.7% (with 591 units) and that of the motorcycle by 65.4% (with 56 units).

Microcars fell 35%, with 102 units, despite the fact that in the year to date they are in good health with a growth of 11.7% thanks to their 850 units.
