Future Trends in the Two–Wheeler Market
- The battery swapping technology is expected to grow at a significant rate. For instance, in April 2021, Hero MotoCorp of India announced their future electric two-wheelers would be based on battery swapping technology. They have collaborated with Gogoro for the battery swapping technology. Yamaha Motors also announced the launch of the EC-05 electric scooter, which has battery swapping and uses Gogoro’s technology.
- In the future, the trend of usage-based insurance policies is expected to rise. American Family Insurance company provides customers with a discount of 10%-20% when they sign up with a usage-based insurance policy. The company uses only a mobile app to determine rider driving behavior.
- As a cost-effective measure, manufacturers such as Honda and Suzuki launched new motorcycles with connectivity features. The bike does not have a large TFT HMI (human-machine interface). Instead, it has a small backlit screen that can show navigation (front and sideways arrow). The two-wheelers also use Bluetooth technology and display the required information on a mobile phone. This innovation has led to the introduction of connectivity features at a lower price. This trend is expected to be seen in the future as well.
