The Routes API supports four travel modes:
- Drive
- Walk
- Bicycle
- Two-wheeler
Two-wheeler refers to two-wheeled motorized vehicles (for example, motorcycles). The two-wheeler travel mode differs from the bicycle travel mode, which is a human-powered travel mode.
Use the travelMode property of a request to specify the mode. The possible
values of this property are defined by enumerations in
RouteTravelMode (REST) and
RouteTravelMode (gRPC).
Specify the two-wheeler travel mode
When you call a Routes API, you specify the RouteTravelMode
enumeration value to specify the travel mode.
The following example demonstrates how to set the travel mode in a computeRoutes method (REST) request body. You can also specify this option to the ComputeRoutes method (gRPC).

"location":{
"latLng":{

}
},
"travelMode":"TWO_WHEELER"
