In terms of volume, the two-wheeler market in India is the biggest worldwide. The two-wheeler market has undergone numerous changes in the past few years.
Due to the pandemic’s enormous demand for personal mobility, the two-wheeler market has experienced tremendous growth, as has the ecosystem supporting the delivery of food and goods.
Motorcycles and scooters are becoming a more common mode of transportation for gig delivery riders, who have been instrumental in the development of the ‘15-minute-delivery’ ecosystem.
According to Borzo, Hyperlocal delivery services firm, Honda, Hero, TVS and Bajaj are the most popular petrol-powered bike brands among delivery partners. The delivery service provider platforms’ emphasis on building a fleet of two-wheelers has helped fuel the rise in motorcycle and scooter sales in India.
Below are the most popular motorcycles and scooters among gig delivery riders, as per Borzo:
Honda Activa
The Activa is India’s only scooter that has replaced the Hero Splendour at the top of the highly competitive two-wheeler segment. Furthermore, this scooter has contributed significantly to the Japanese automaker brand becoming the second largest in the Indian two-wheeler market. Aside from its popularity among personal buyers, Activa has secured a prominent position among gig delivery riders.
Hero Splendor
Hero Splendor has helped Hero MotoCorp maintain its lead in the Indian two-wheeler market over the years. While the no-frills commuter motorcycle is popular with personal buyers, it is also one of the most popular bikes among gig-delivery riders and delivery service platforms. This motorcycle’s popularity is due in large part to its practicality, economics, and value-for-money proposition.
Hero Passion
Since its 2001 launch, the domestic two-wheeler giant’s Hero Passion motorcycle series has also enjoyed comparable success in the domestic market. The 100 cc and 110 cc commuter models, known as Passion (Plus) and Passion XTEC, are the two available capacities. The Hero Passion’s economic value proposition and practicality are what have made it so popular.
TVS Jupiter
The TVS Jupiter, which debuted in 2013, comes with engines ranging from 110 to 125 cc. The TVS Jupiter’s convenient automatic transmission, two-wheeled mobility and long-term performance have helped it become a major player in the Indian market. Apart from personal buyers, the scooter has become popular among delivery service providers.
Bajaj Platina
Bajaj Auto is a dominant brand in the Indian two-wheeler market. The domestic motorcycle behemoth, known for iconic products like the Chetak and Pulsar, has established itself in both the premium and mass-market segments. The Bajaj Platina has been on sale in India since 2006 and is a popular commuter motorcycle. The motorcycle has two engine sizes: 100 cc and 110 cc. It is a popular choice for delivery service providers because it is a practical and uncomplicated commuter motorcycle.
