E-Bike Battery Pack Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The E-Bike Battery Pack Market (henceforth, referred to as the market studied) is anticipated to register a CAGR of 13.33% during the forecast period.​

Key Highlights

• A motor and battery are the two key components for an e-bike. Choosing the right battery package plays a crucial role in choosing an e-bike. The battery is also the costliest component of an e-bike. Currently, there are 24V, 36V, 48V, 52V, and 72V batteries available for e-bike applications. ​
• Most of the legal electric bike kits use a 36V battery, and the more powerful motors may use a 48V, or even a 52V battery. For very high-performance e-bikes, voltages can go to 72V and beyond. Juiced Bikes, a California-based electric bicycle manufacturer, launched a new-generation of sprawling bicycle lineup, the CrossCurrent S2, in July 2019. In this model, the company incorporated a 52V battery, which makes the e-bike achieve a speed of 53 km/h. This 52V battery offers 7% more speed, compared to a 48V battery.​
• However, battery maintenance is a major concern with e-bikes. Electric bike batteries have a limited life span, which is about 2-3 years for lithium-ion chemistry, and the high cost associated with the e-bike battery is acting as a restraint for the market.​
