Moreover, because the market is import-driven, there are few motorcycle brands available, which drives up the cost of two-wheelers in the area by increasing import and custom charges as well as additional taxes. Furthermore, the sales of two-wheelers imported from Europe, China, and India are limited due to supply chain disruption.
Additionally, the Mideast region has higher temperatures compared to other regions, which led to a preference among consumers for four-wheel vehicles such as passenger automobiles over two-wheelers. Owing to the intense heat, riding a two-wheeler in Saudi Arabia might be difficult and is not recommended for everyone.
