The "battle" between motorcycles and cars is officially on! While cars are in decline, why have motorcycles suddenly become so popular?

In today's world, cars and electric vehicles are the most commonly used modes of transportation. Over the past few years, as people increasingly seek higher-quality travel experiences, more and more have started favoring cars, leading to a steady rise in car-related travel volumes.

It’s during this process that many people might wonder: Didn’t motorcycles used to be all the rage? So why have they become increasingly rare these days?

This is indeed true—China’s motorcycle market began to boom in the 1990s, and at one point even became the primary mode of transportation for many households. However, as cars and electric vehicles gained popularity, motorcycles have since become increasingly rare in everyday life.

On one hand, this is due to "motorcycle bans" imposed in major cities, while on the other hand, cars have gradually replaced motorcycles as people’s new preference for transportation. Meanwhile, electric vehicles have emerged as a convenient and eco-friendly alternative, further contributing to the decline in motorcycle ridership.
