Two electric bikes, September sees a surge: +48%. Motorcycle sales more than double.
The Italian electric two-wheeler market closed September with 1,208 registrations, a 48% increase compared to the same month in 2025. Scooters remain dominant, while motorcycles saw a +115% rise. In the first nine months of the year, overall growth was 24.7%.
The electric two-wheeler market continues to grow steadily. Following a strong summer, September confirmed this positive trend with 1,208 vehicles registered, up from 816 in the same month last year. This represents a growth rate of 48.04%.
This result brings the January-September total to 8,524 units, compared to 6,838 in 2025: a +24.66% increase. This figure is now solid enough to speak optimistically of structured growth, especially since the most critical months for the two-wheeler market have already passed.
Electric scooters remain dominant: +56%
Scooters continue to lead the statistics. 757 scooters were registered in September, compared to 484 a year earlier: an increase of 56.40%. Since May, electric scooters have consistently shown double-digit growth: +62.73% in May, +67.34% in June, +58.08% in July, and +46.53% in August.
In the first nine months, 5,319 scooters were registered, up from 3,982 in the same period of 2025. This represents a 33.58% increase, pushing scooters to account for over 60% of the entire electric two-wheeler market.
Electric motorcycles: small numbers, huge growth
The growth of electric motorcycles is even more evident in percentage terms. In September, 168 were registered, more than double the 78 recorded a year earlier: +115.38%.
The comparison over the cumulative period is even more astonishing. In the first nine months of 2026, 1,126 electric motorcycles were registered, compared to just 468 in the same period last year: +140.60%.
The volumes remain significantly lower than those of scooters, but they can no longer be considered marginal numbers.
Motorcycles also see growth again
September brings positive news even for the segment that has suffered the most so far. There are 283 registered electric motorcycles, up from 254 last year, representing a growth of 11.42%.
This growth is not enough to make up for the ground lost in previous months. From January to September, 2,079 vehicles were registered, compared to 2,388 in 2025: the deficit remains negative at –12.94%. It is the only of the three categories still showing a decline on an annual basis.
September market pushes electric vehicles past 8,500
Including motorcycles, scooters, and moped-like vehicles, the market reached 8,524 registrations in the first nine months, nearly 1,700 more than in the same period of 2025.
After a very volatile start to the year, growth picked up from spring, with five consecutive months of positive figures. This consistency represents the most encouraging sign for the electric two-wheeler market. If the final quarter manages to sustain this trend, 2026 could end with growth exceeding 20%.
