Abstract: Abstract Due to rapid urbanisation, mixed traffic in Vietnam’s megacities is getting worse. Dialectics remain unsolved as communities persist with their two-wheel figurehead while the government frames taxonomy and substitution. Driven by the need for reconciliations, the proposed empirical research aims to fill the knowledge gap and to contribute to the Sustainable Path to 2030 Agenda. The study explored values and threats in relation to motorcycle, proposed solutions to the dialectic, probed for community readiness, and weighted predictors against adaptation. Sequential Exploratory Mixed Methodology was followed to develop a new theory. System data input was collected from three sources: documentary review, qualitative expert interviews, and quantitative survey using questionnaires of 100 variables. More than 700 responses from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City facilitated the analytics threading four techniques of: Ordinal Logistic Regression with Factors Input, Generalised Linear Models with Ordinal Logistic Response, Spearman’s correlations, and Exploratory Factor Analysis. Benchmarking between four analytical methods resulted in more than 80 coinciding associations between community acceptance and its determinants that enable a better understanding of the issues related to motorcycles. Emerging determinants include propaganda/education, public bus operation, infrastructure/travel patterns, and regulations change.
