Scooters, motorcycles, and bicycles are popular in southeast Asia and
India. Most people in those countries cannot afford a car, but can afford
a 2-wheeled vehicle. India and China produce some very inexpensive models
made for domestic sale. The narrow roads and crowded conditions in many
Asian cities make it hard to get around in a car anyway, and the
year-round warm weather makes it easier to use bikes as normal transport
(Unlike most parts of the USA where cold winters with icy roads make it
uncomfortable and unsafe half the year).
