      abstract = {This study leverages secondary data to provide a  comprehensive outlook on the origin and evolution of the  two-wheeler industry in Italy, Japan, and India. The study  reveals how different technological, design, and  manufacturing capabilities, combined with specific economic  and social features in the historical contexts, have  contributed to determine different trajectories in the  evolution of these national industries. Recent trends  towards digital transformation, electric mobility,  connected driving are discussed. Three main takeaways  emerge from our analysis. Firstly, the local capabilities  play a crucial role in shaping both the origin and  progression of the technology and the industry.  Secondly,  the two-wheeler industry displays patterns and trajectories  that mimic the automotive industry, which can thus be used  to interpret and forecast past, present, and future of  motorcycles. Thirdly, the two-wheeler industry has been  uniquely influenced by other industries, which has enhanced  the complexity and effectiveness of its products and  introduced novel elements which are reshaping the  international demand for two-wheelers.},
