two-wheelers

Pedal-powered vehicles

The term is standard in India and South Asia, where it covers the full range from pedal bikes to motor scooters to powerful motorcycles: Two-wheeler sales hit record numbers this quarter.

In American and British English, speakers more often specify the vehicle type directly.
