“History is the evidence that sales of two-wheelers have boomed after every crisis, take Nepal earthquake 2015 and India’s blockade to Nepal as an instance. Generally, the piled-up stocks are sold because there are people who had plans to buy a two-wheeler but couldn’t due to the unforeseeable circumstances. Also, the pandemic and people being conscious of the increasing cases of COVID-19 is the most essential factor for the boom in the sales of two-wheelers.” States Santosh Nyaupane, Secretary at Nepal Automobiles Association- NASA.

Two-wheelers are selling like hot cakes post-COVID. Many distributors claim that they are experiencing the Festive season sales. Here is the Reviews’ take on why bikes and scooters are selling the way it is selling;

1) Pandemic

COVID-19 has taught us that at least a bike or scooter is a must for a family to commute in times of crisis. We have experienced times where we have had no access to public transport. Samit Singh, Head of Marketing, VG Automobiles states, “This is the time of crisis. Our health is the primary factor to take care of. A two-wheeler is an affordable option for commuting instead of using public transportation.”

2) Risk of Public Transport

The lockdown has been lifted and public transportations are on service, however, COVID-19 has not yet disappeared and cases are rapidly increasing day by day. In such a case, a means of transportation is essential for daily commuting and avoiding public transport and maintaining social distance.

3) Risk of Ride-Sharing

Even though ride-sharing is less risky in comparison to public transport and easily accessible with one single touch in their app, we have no idea where the rider has been before coming in touch with us and who has s/he touched. The private vehicle has now become a necessity.

4) Even-Odd system

The even-odd system has been lifted for the time being, but we have experienced the hurdles it brings when there is only one bike or scooter at home. One of the two-wheeler owners states that he only had an odd number plate bike and he is now planning to buy a scooter with even number plate so that it is convenient for him to commute in both odd and even days whenever necessary.

5) Attractive Schemes

The bike dealers and sellers are offering attractive schemes that make the two-wheelers a very affordable option of means of transportation.
