A motorcycle sidecar is a single-wheeled device that is attached to the side of a motorcycle, moped/scooter, or electric or normal bicycle. The attachment of a motorcycle sidecar to a two-wheeler converts it into a three-wheeled vehicle. A two-wheeler with an attached motorcycle is also known as a combination, rig, or hack.
The body of the motorcycle usually provides a seat for a single passenger, and has a small trunk-like compartment on the rear side of the body. In some cases, the motorcycle sidecar is modified for the transportation of cargo or tools & equipment, just like the platform of transport vehicles such as trucks.
Generally, motorcycle sidecars consist of the body and the frame. The frame is either fixed to the motorcycle or is attached in such a way that the motorcycle can lean in the similar way as that of a motorcycle without a sidecar. Mostly, the motorcycle sidecar is attached to the right hand side of the vehicle for right side moving traffic.

The size of motorcycle fleets is large in countries such as India, China, ASEAN, Pakistan, etc. Also, countries such China and Japan have significant production of electric motorcycles. Owing to these reasons, Asia Pacific is expected to be a prominent market for motorcycle sidecars. In the matured economies of North America and Europe, the size of this type of vehicle fleet is small, and the demand for motorcycle sidecars will be mainly driven by bike enthusiasts focused on vintage bikes, due to which, these regions are expected to be moderate markets with less growth.
Regions such as Latin America and Africa also have a good fleet size of motorcycles, but the fleet size of motorcycles will be small in the Middle Eastern region.
