Electrified motorcycles are especially present in the largest cities in Spain. This reality shows their attractiveness as vehicles that move well in congested spaces and where there are parking limitations.

In cities, in fact, electric motorcycles constitute 4.28% of the local two-wheeled vehicle fleet. A rate significantly higher than the national average.
