The global electric bicycle market is led by the Asia Pacific with more than 70% of the market share in terms of both- value & volume. This is mainly because of China, which has more electric bikes than cars on the road and thus held to nearly 50% of the global e-bikes in terms of volume. The major difference between the electric cycle market in China and other European or North American countries is the battery used in the cycle. In China, there is a high use of lead-acid batteries, while the counterparts use lithium-ion or nickel-metal hydride. Covid-19 Impacts: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, commuters are mostly avoiding public transportation. According to industry experts and e-bike manufacturers, such as Rad Power Bike, VanMoof, and Lectric e-bike, e-bikes are increasingly considered an ideal transportation mode as cities emerge from the quarantine approaches in the US and Europe. In addition, owing to the government restrictions on public transport because of social-distancing guidelines, commuters are adopting the bike as the mode of day-to-day transportation. Thus, the electric bike industry is one of those industries that is poised for better growth post-Covid-19. However, the sale of e-bikes was dampened in the first quarter of 2020, as e-bike stores were closed due to lockdown. Apart from increasing consumer preference toward recreational and adventure activities, the adoption of e-bike applications in several sectors, like logistics and e-bike rental services, is expected to drive the market during the forecast period. As cities worldwide emerge from lockdowns, the demand for e-bikes is picking up pace due to their convenience and cost of operations. Regions such as Europe are witnessing a shift in consumer motive for buying an e-bike from leisure to daily use.
