Turkish consumers are gradually replacing motorcycles with electric scooter motorcycles

According to official data from the Turkish Statistical Institute:
From 2019 to 2023, Turkey's imports of SKD (semi-loose) electric two-wheelers are increasing year by year, with imports in 2023 reaching about US$54 million, and a growth rate of 59.39% in 2023;
From 2019 to 2023, Turkey's imports of CKD (completely loose) electric two-wheelers are also increasing year by year, with imports in 2023 reaching about US$150 million, an increase of 78.4% compared to 2022;
In January 2023, Turkey's CKD (completely loose) imports were US$9 million, and in January 2024, they were US$6 million, a month-on-month decline of 33.33%.

The main reasons why local Turkish consumers choose electric scooter motorcycles to replace motorcycles are:
1. Reduce commuting costs and easily reduce transportation costs.
2. Have greater driving license advantages：an “A” driving license is needed for motorcycles, and “B” for cars.However, people do not need to get an ‘A’ license to ride e-motorcycles, they can ride with ‘B’ licenses.
3. Save fuel costs
