As fuel prices continue to soar, air pollution and traffic congestion worsen, and sedentary lifestyles become more prevalent, cycling is seen as a reliable and cost-effective means of transportation and one of the healthiest forms of exercise.
Today, innovations in bicycles are pushing the limits of performance, design and sustainability, with manufacturers developing electric bikes that are stylish, fast, lightweight, energy-efficient and convenient for long rides. Many of the e-bikes available in the market today are loaded with features such as pedal-assist or battery-powered assist, foldability, high torque and motor power, long battery life that lasts up to six hours or even more, quick-charging battery, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, full suspension, suitability for off-road and long-range touring and integrated smart lock system. Some of the popular selections offered are electric bikes for adults, electric minibikes, off-road bikes and foldable e-bikes. There are also consumers who prefer searching for used electric bikes for sale.
According to Grand View Research, the global e-bikes market is forecast to reach $52.37 billion by 2030, registering a 13.5 percent CAGR from 2022. Aside from the decline in consumer inclination toward cars due to increased traffic and growing urbanization, factors such as increasing adoption of e-bikes in logistics and rental services, growing concerns over carbon emissions and rising awareness toward living a healthy lifestyle are fueling the market growth. The report added that the Asia-Pacific region is set to become the largest market due to government subsidies for battery-powered vehicles and substantial investments in vehicle charging infrastructure.
