10 Countries with the Most Motorbikes in the World

Motorbikes are the most popular forms of transportation around the world, particularly in countries where affordable, convenient, and flexible transportation is essential. According to World Population Review, the countries with the largest numbers of motorbikes are concentrated mainly in Asia.

India ranks first, with approximately 221 million motorbikes. With its huge population and busy cities, motorcycles provide an affordable way for millions of people to travel to work, school, and other destinations. India’s enormous motorcycle population is more than twice that of Indonesia, which ranks second.

Indonesia has around 112 million motorbikes, making two-wheelers an important part of everyday life. Motorbikes are particularly useful because they can navigate congested roads and provide relatively inexpensive transportation across the country’s cities and towns. They are also widely used for delivery and ride-hailing services.

In third place is China, with approximately 85 million motorbikes. China has a large two-wheeler market and is also well known for the growing popularity of electric motorcycles and scooters. Vietnam, with about 58 million, ranks fourth. Motorbikes are especially common in Vietnamese cities, where they are a practical way to move through crowded streets.

The remaining countries in the top ten have considerably smaller totals but still demonstrate the global importance of two-wheel transportation. Thailand has approximately 21.6 million motorbikes, while Pakistan has 17.5 million.

Malaysia follows with 14.9 million, and Saudi Arabia has around 14.2 million. Taiwan, with 14 million, also has a strong motorcycle culture, particularly in urban areas. Completing the top ten is Brazil, which has approximately 12.9 million motorbikes and is the only country from the Americas in this group.

Overall, the figures highlight the dominance of Asia in global motorcycle ownership. The ten countries listed together account for hundreds of millions of motorbikes, showing how important two-wheel transportation is for personal mobility and daily economic activity.

From India and Indonesia to Vietnam and Taiwan, motorbikes remain a practical solution to affordability, traffic congestion, and the need for convenient transportation.
