The sales statistics for 2011 for electric motorcycles and scooters have been published, and the market is declining in France (down 17% over 2010). Most of the eBikes are 50cc equivalents with a scatter of 125cc-like bikes sold.
During 2011, a total of 1202 electric motorcycles and scooters were sold, almost half of them (40.9%) were Matra e-Mo scoots (50cc equivalent). E-Solex is doing nicely in the country that invented the Solex, with 16.9% of the market.
The first 125cc-like scooter is the Electric City with 27 units sold, representing 2.2% of the French market. Zero only sold 4 units in France.
Maybe things will shake up a bit when Brammo arrives in Europe, but these figures are very low, and no dealer in his right mind is going to sell electric motorcycles.
