Europe E-bike Market, by Bike Type (Mountain Bike, Road Bike, City Bike, Cargo Bike, and Others), by Battery Type (Lead Acid, Nickel-cadmium, Nickel-metal Hydride, and Lithium-ion), by Motor (Hub Motor and Mid Motor), by Operation Mode (Battery/Peddle Operated and Throttle Operated), and by Country (Germany, U.K., France, Italy, Russia, and Rest of Europe) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Electric bike is a bicycle with an integrated electric motor drive mechanism and battery, which produces power for causing or assisting propulsion. Various kinds of globally available e-bikes range from electric bikes with a small motor to assist the pedal-power of the rider to more powerful e-bikes that produce power to completely drive the bike using throttle. Electric bikes are flexible, versatile, eco-friendly, and trendy mode of transport. Consumers look up to them as an ideal substitute for scooters, smart cars, and public transport. These bikes help tackle traffic congestion, owing to the smaller size of e-bikes, attain higher speed with lesser effort, and health benefits attained with peddling. These factors lead to rise in popularity of electric bikes across the globe. Factors such as implementation of government regulations to encourage the use of electric bikes, consumer inclination toward use of e-bikes as an eco-friendly & efficient solution for commute, increase in fuel costs, and rise in interest in cycling as a fitness & recreational activity are expected to drive the market growth. However, high cost of e-bikes and ban on use of e-bikes in major cities of Europe are expected to hinder the market growth. Furthermore, improvement in bicycling infrastructure & battery technology are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the Europe e-bike market growth.
Market Dynamics
E-bikes are less expensive than cars, do not require license, and can be used on existing bicycling infrastructure. Rapid urbanization and less preference of consumers to use cars due to increased traffic congestion are anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion. In addition, governments of various countries focus on the development of infrastructure for e-bikes including bicycle tracks and public charging stations with the inclination of consumers toward e-bikes. For instance, in August 2021, Germany-based startup, Dance, launched its subscription service in its hometown of Berlin. For a flat monthly fee of US$ 88.09 users will get a custom-designed electric bike as well as access to an on-demand repair and maintenance service.
