The subject of electric powered two wheelers, is being heard in the press and trade more as the Government’s aim to do away with fossil fuelled vehicles is coming more to the fore. It will happen that is assured, but when and how quickly is a question that is difficult to answer. There are many cars already out there, but as yet little choice in the motorcycle world. As leisure riders will resist the clean power until the last, it is down to commuter users to lead the way in our world, but not until the vehicles and an infrastructure to support re-charging is available. Total registrations of electric mopeds, motorcycles and quadricycles between January 2017 and June 2017 in the EU reached 13,089 units. Split down to 10,204 electric mopeds, 1,995 electric motorcycles and 1,610 quadricycles representing an increase of 30.5% compared the same period of 2016, when 10,576 units were registered. The countries with the highest number of motorcycles registered were: France (615), Spain (444) and Germany (325) and Austria (146). The largest registrations of mopeds were recorded in France (3,116), the Netherlands (2,516), Belgium (2,013) and Spain (774). In the UK Moped went from 134 last year down to 83 (-38%) and Motorcycles from 78 to 36 (-53.8%) this year. Although we do report predictions in Monitor for road electric models, research is suggesting low prices when compared to conventionally fuelled vehicles. Time will change the situation. September new registrations took a large hit for the new plate as sales fell 23.6% (12,228) compared with the same month last year. The year to date is 15.7% less than the same period in 2016. As there are many offers ranging from low rates to extra kit and in some cases both currently in place from a broad number of manufacturers the effect on used prices do of course take a hit temporarily, but short term changes do not have long term effects on most models. Moving into the quiet time for retail activity, it is worth a mention that the trade buying patterns have changed over the last decade. Before the mass migration of machines to the Euro zone buying patterns was similar to retail patterns, but preceding it by a month or two. When the amount of used bikes available was high, there was a definite and large difference between the high and low points through the year. But as exporting took hold - an estimated 300,000 units over the last ten year – and with 30,000 motorcycles predicted to have been stolen in 2017, (only 40% of them will be recovered), it has placed us in the position where the rush for next year’s stock starts earlier. The trade buyers that have a cash-flow allowing them to sit on stock for a few months are actively out buying while prices are on the downward part of the cycle. More are now doing this and even though there is still highs and lows through the year, the peaks and troughs are closer together. This leads us to alterations in this month’s products. There has been in general a movement down in reported prices but less than would have been historically seen in past years.
