Motorbikes aren’t used for day to day usage in the USA like they are in Southeast Asia and China. But cars in the USA are, so they aren’t in the same usage bucket.

Motorbikes have been mostly superseded by electric bikes in China. I’m sure the same thing will happen in Southeast Asia, but the last time I was there in 2016 it hadn’t happened yet.

Motorcycles are definitely used for day to day in Europe where they're ICE and not electric.

Maybe in some countries. Definitely not in Switzerland when I lived there.
