In 2022, petrol was the leading fuel type for licensed motorcycles in the United Kingdom, at over 1.3 million units. It dwarfed all other fuel types, including diesel, which has been decreasing over the past years. The second most popular category comprised battery electric motorcycles, accounting for 13,400 registered units in the overall motorcycle fleet. This category has also seen the largest growth, nearly tripling in numbers from 2020 to 2022.
