There are many factors of uncertainty, inflation gallops, incentives will arrive but no one knows yet when. And above all, there is a lack of scooters in dealerships. The fact is that in April the motorized two-wheeler market is still slowing down. Although the first four months of 2022 registers a slight decrease compared to last year (-2.6%), registrations of mopeds, scooters and motorcycles in April instead show an overall decline of 8.9% over 2021. From the data released from Confindustria ANCMA, the minus sign of motorcycles emerges in particular (-6.5%), the first after a long positive streak, while scooters and mopeds respectively closed April with -11.1% and -9.8% on same month last year.
