The Vietnamese motorcycle market is experiencing divergent trends as the back-to-school season approaches. Initially, there was a surge in demand for electric motorbikes, particularly in Hanoi, with brands like VinFast and Yadea reporting significant growth in student-oriented models. This shift was partly driven by a decline in small-capacity gasoline motorcycle sales due to urban policies restricting gasoline vehicles in city centers.

As the season progressed, the market saw varied promotional and pricing activities. Yamaha Motor Vietnam introduced specific promotions for models like the Gear 125 Hybrid, Janus, and PG-1 to assist students with costs. Conversely, the electric motorcycle segment faced price fluctuations; some dealers in Hanoi reduced subsidies, and certain models, such as the Honda icon e:, saw price increases of approximately 5 million VND.
