    Gasoline-powered motorcycles make up about 80% of transportation in India, where over 150 million motorcycles are used each day, contributing greatly to air pollution which kills 1.25 million Indians annually. While individual motorcycles emit less than other vehicles, the sheer number of motorcycles on the road means they significantly impact overall emissions. Electric motorcycles and mopeds provide a promising cleaner alternative with lower long-term costs.

    Gasoline-powered two-wheelers are a major mode of transport in developing countries

    like India. There are about 150 million two-wheelers on road in India and
    constitute about 80% of all modes of transport. In 2018 alone, record 20 million
    two-wheelers were sold in the country (55,000 per day!!). Though individually
    motorcycles have less emissions as compared to cars or buses but have large
    contribution overall owing to the high number of users. 21 of the world�s 30 cities
    with worst air pollution are in India as per IQAir AirVisual's 2019 World Air
    Quality Report, with six in the top ten. Air pollution kills about 1.25 million
    people in India every year. Vehicular emissions have a fair contribution to this
    crisis. As the air quality is deteriorating day-by-day, citizens are becoming more
    aware and want to adopt cleaner modes of transport. Electric-powered motorcycles
    and mopeds (EVs) are a promising solution with the added advantage of low cost of
    ownership.
