Brands Global Performance

Kymco Motorcycles Sales are still heavy below the pre-covid volumes, due to the lost of market share in Taiwan. Global registrations at the end of April 2021 (Jan-Apr in this calendar year) have been 145.899, up 4.9% compared with the same period 2020 but down 22.2% compared with the 2019.

Zero Motorcycles Inc. is an American manufacturer of electric motorcycles. Founded in 2006 in a Santa Cruz, California garage by a former NASA engineer, Neal Saiki, it is the global leader in the high performance electric motorcycles, with sales in over 30 countries.

Niu Technology reported a record 0.6 million sales in the 2020, up an impressive 41.6% from the previous year, expanding the product portfolio, the domestic network and the international operations, escalating the global motorcycles manufacturers ranking.

Italika confirmed in the 2020 the outstanding reputation gained in Central America and was able to rebound after a difficult first half, ending the year for the first time over 0.8 million sales, ranking as 13th bigger motorcycles company in the World.

Gogoro Global Development has been heavily hit in the 2020, when the covid19 limited the achievement of international development. However, the near 30% drop reported in the first 11 months is mainly correlated to the lost in the domestic Taiwanese market.

MV Agusta Global Sales rebound in 2020 at 3.1 thousand, up 24.8% from the negative peak hit in the previous year. European operations recovered 51% while the rest of the World was down.

Harley-Davidson global sales declined 18% in 2020 with only 180.000 registrations and losing the leadership as premium brand after over 50 years. A sharp lost of market share in USA and Europe cannot be justified by any new strategy and the start of "rewire" plan looks awful.
