There is a reason why Corollas are so popular-they offer the best value for money. The same is for 125cc in the equatorial countries. For us in North America and Europe an upright bike with a fairing and electric motor that can piggy back with a bus or train makes sense when it costs under $1000 USD. The break even mpg for a motorcycle and a car pool vehicle is currently 175 passenger miles per gallon. This is based on a five passenger car getting 35 mpg highway or a 7 passenger mini van getting 25 mpg. One can figure a cost of convenience based on their wage rate and the total trip time. A motorcycle definitely would reduce congestion for single passenger commutes. Even a motorized or streamlined bicycle can cruise at 25 mph for an hour.
