The pace on two wheels does not slow down in autumn. October 2026 closed with a total of 26,470 new motorcycle and moped registrations in Spain, according to official microdata from the DGT.
Urban asphalt continues to absorb thousands of new motorcyclists looking to dodge daily traffic and save time on their regular commutes. But the real news this month is not just the volume: it is the changing of the guard at the top of the rankings.

- Key segment: 125 cc scooters for urban use.

4. X-ray by type: the undisputed hegemony of the urban scooter
Although the official registry does not classify by commercial categories, the names identified in the list confirm a clear trend: the scooter is the master of daily mobility.
- Models like NMAX, PCX, Forza, XMAX, or SH125 top the positions due to low consumption, accessible maintenance, and ease of use for car license holders with three years of experience.
- There is growing interest in mid-displacement crossover styles (such as the Honda ADV350 or the Zontes 368G), ideal for those who combine fast ring roads with weekend getaways.
