Increasing Demand in Ride Hailing and Last Mile Delivery Services.

The element driving up the demand for two-wheelers in Nigeria's market is the population's growing propensity for using motorbike ride-hailing services to avoid congestion and congested traffic. Gokada, a ride-hailing start-up in Nigeria, raised USD 5.3 million in a Series A investment in 2019 to expand the two-wheel transportation company. Around a million rides have been conducted by the business since 2018 and over a thousand riders have been trained and onboarded through its app. The reason that is further fueling the market expansion is the growing prices of both passenger vehicles and the two-wheelers. Additionally, the insufficient public transport network present in the country has led to the rising adoption of the ride hailing service which increases the number of two-wheeler in Nigeria. Furthermore, the increasing adoption in the last mile delivery due to the rapid urbanization and increasing disposal income, have led to rise in the logistics industry which have a detrimental impact on the Nigeria two-wheeler market.

Thus, the design and maneuverability provided by two-wheelers boost the sales of the two-wheeler in Nigeria which further propels the growth of Nigeria Two-Wheeler Market.

More Cost-Effective and Requires Less Maintenance

The main reason for the growing popularity of two-wheelers is their low cost. The ease of financing attracts most customers with lower income levels, easily realizing the dream of owning a vehicle. Aside from affordability, another factor driving the increase in two-wheeler purchases is cost-effectiveness. With fuel prices rising, the two-wheeler segment will remain affordable for Indian families. Two-wheelers also have lower maintenance costs than passenger cars and provide better mileage.

Safety Concern and Government Ban.
