Mexico City embraces motorcycles to outsmart crippling traffic jams

Intelligent commuting has become a priority in Mexico City as residents seek faster ways to navigate its congested streets. Motorcycles are now a popular choice for daily travel, work, and leisure, offering a practical solution to heavy traffic. The city’s congestion levels average 75.9% according to the TomTom Traffic Index 2025. Drivers often spend 34 minutes and 29 seconds to cover just 10 kilometres during peak hours. Motorcycles provide a quicker and more reliable alternative, cutting travel time and improving predictability.

Elektra supports this shift by offering flexible financing, including the Elektra Loan, to help customers buy motorcycles. The company also provides a wide range of models to meet different needs. Italika remains the dominant brand, with seven out of ten motorcycles sold in Mexico being its models. Motorcycles are helping residents reclaim time and efficiency in their daily routines. With better financing options and a variety of models, more people are turning to two-wheelers for smarter commuting in Mexico City.
