Electric bikes, also known as e-bikes, e-bicycles, pedicels, and power-assisted (bi)cycles, are regular bicycles with an electric motor, a battery, and a drivetrain. These bikes may be propelled by pedaling or by using rechargeable batteries. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: lead acid, lithium-ion (Li-ion), and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH). Lead-acid batteries are the most prevalent and can travel considerable distances on a single charge. In compared to motored cars, these bikes are simple to use, suitable for all age groups, and an inexpensive choice as an environmentally beneficial mode of transportation. In terms of design and performance, there are several options for e-bikes on the market.
The spread of the novel coronavirus, i.e., COVID-19, has severely squeezed every industrial sector across the world. The automotive, manufacturing, industrial and many more markets are incredibly uncertain in these times, with countries worldwide suffering from this pandemic's destabilizing effects. No company is immune to these economic challenges caused by the health crisis, and there were understandable concerns about the destruction caused to the worldwide economy. The rise in unemployment has been muted in many countries and millions of workers have lost part or all of their incomes.
Amidst the pandemic, businesses shut down, road traffic ground to a standstill, and the demand for electric bike plunged in the country. Government quarantines and stay-at-home orders barred workers from operating battery and automobile production facilities and froze shipments of manufactured goods, lead OEMs to wait until lockdowns to restart production, which affected their business. However, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, most people are avoiding public transit. E-bikes are seen as a safe, convenient, and cost-effective alternative to public transportation. Additionally, e-bikes are easy to charger and are cheaper than other transportation systems. The growing government initiative in terms of increasing demand for electric vehicles is estimated to boost e-bikes market in upcoming years.
The rising petroleum product prices are one of the most significant factors driving the electric bike and vehicle industry. The increased cost of petrol is also impacting customers from developing countries. The operational expense of other vehicles like cars, sports bikes would undoubtedly be minimized by hybrid two-wheelers running on electricity. Demand for electric bikes has been motivated by the introduction of next-generation smart e-bikes with big data and IoT innovations and the need for product differentiation. However, in commercial and residential applications for the amalgamation of everyday operations, the control and comfort of the e-bikes are expected to propel their market.
Rising monetary and non-monetary enticements are boosting the acceptance of battery-operated electric two-wheelers. Furthermore, the necessity for sustainable urban mobility and advanced transportation infrastructure is driving the shift from conventional to electric modes of transport. E-bikes are tremendous alternative that helps in reducing traffic congestion. Traffic blocking is one of the major problems faced these days coupled with heavily populated areas, health issues, environmental pollution and money consumption on fuel are the factors that enhance consumers to prefer the use of e-bikes. The automakers are adopting the installation of technologically advanced Li-ion batteries into their electric two-wheelers to improve battery capacities boosts the market growth over the forecast period. In addition, the manufacturers are keen to adopt AI in an electric bike that will enable the e-bike to learn individual behaviour and then will be able to offer individualized services.
The lack of standardized charging infrastructure is hindering the growth of e-bike market over the forecast years. The gas stations are located at every few miles in urban and suburban areas whereas the public infrastructure for electric vehicle is in large metropolitan areas. The plug-in hybrid vehicles have a short range than gas cars and requires a dense charging infrastructure that can help in both long and short distance travel. Thus, the lack of electric vehicles charging infrastructure is a major restraining factor for the global e-bike market. For instance: International Energy Agency, the global electric vehicle fleet is expected to reach to about 5 billion till 2030. Also, the global number of public accessible chargers per electric vehicle have decreased from 0.14 in 2017 to 0.11 in 2018 that is average of 1 charger per 10 electric vehicles. Thus, the need of public charging outlet should increase between 14 million and 30 million till 2030 from the current available public charging outlet that is 632,000. Similarly, according to the Centre for Science and environment (India), in Delhi there are about 23 charging stations, the widespread e-bike adoption has a restraining factor that is low availability of charging stations. Also, government of India is planning to set up 65 charging stations through public private partnership which is negligible number of charging stations for a city with an urban population of about 11 million. Furthermore, the automakers have their own standard chargers for the electric vehicle they manufacture and won’t work with the rival electric models. Thus, the rise in adoption of electric bikes and lack of standardized charging station for the same across the globe hamper the growth of market over the upcoming years.
The e-bike market is undergoing significant technical improvements to provide more optimizer and dependable goods. One such breakthrough is the linked e-bike, in which the SIM module allows the e-bike to receive and send data to the cloud and from the cloud without the use of a smartphone. The connected e-bike provide advanced features like emergency calls, integrated navigation, social media connection, an anti-theft system, and remote diagnostics, attracting more customer base. Therefore, the trend for connected e-bike would create an opportunity for the e-bike market to develop and grow during the forecasted period.
The study categorizes the e-bike market based on product type, drive mechanism and battery type area at the regional and global levels.
Based on the drive mechanism, the market is bifurcated into hub motor, mid drive, and drive mechanisms. The hub motor segment is expected to dominate the market share in 2022 in the global e-bike market. Due to considering extensive utilization in a range of sectors and demanding laws and requirements for high quality and effective anti-vibration mounts. Hub motors eliminate the need for a hefty transmission, driveline, differential, and axles by removing the primary engine.
