but why we use it both ? in bikes we always say it condenser not the capacitor & in fans or in single phase motors we always say capacitors

I gave you a hint in my above post.

A Leyden jar is a device that early experimenters used to help build and store electric energy. It was also referred to as a "condenser" because many people thought of electricity as fluid or matter that could be condensed. Nowadays someone familiar with electrical terminology would call it a capacitor.

The term "condenser" is still widely used in motor vehicle industries
