For instance, the Biden administration proposed a USD 174 billion plan to invest in clean transportation, including USD 100 million for e-bike purchases and a requirement that all new federal buildings have e-bike charging stations. E-bikes are seen as a greener alternative to traditional vehicles, as they produce zero emissions during operation and require less energy than cars. These benefits will propel product uptake over the coming years, strengthening the overall e-bike market outlook.

Regulations governing e-bikes vary widely between different regions and countries. For instance, the EN 15194 European standard outlines safety and safety-related performance criteria governing the design, assembly, and testing of EPAC bicycles and their components, all aimed at ensuring their suitability for operation on public roads. E-bikes can be classified as bicycles or motorized vehicles, and this classification can determine where they are allowed to be ridden and at what speeds. The lack of consistent and clear regulations can confuse both manufacturers and consumers, limiting the E-bike market growth potential.
 

However, the development of lightweight, high-capacity batteries has significantly improved the performance and range of e-bikes. Lithium-ion battery technology, in particular, has allowed e-bikes to travel longer distances on a single charge while maintaining a reasonable weight. This has helped overcome one of the initial barriers to e-bike adoption - concerns about limited range, thus bolstering product sales.
 

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the e-bike market, leading to notable shifts in consumer behavior. As lockdowns and restrictions limited traditional transportation options, people sought safer and socially distanced alternatives. This drove a surge in e-bike sales as individuals embraced cycling for commuting and exercise. For instance, cities like New York and Paris implemented measures to promote cycling, resulting in increased e-bike adoption. The pandemic highlighted e-bikes as a viable and sustainable mode of transportation, accelerating their integration into urban mobility solutions.
 

E-bike Market Trends

E-bikes are beginning to incorporate smart technology to enhance the user experience. This included features like integrated GPS navigation, smartphone connectivity, and app-controlled settings. These technologies could provide riders with real-time data on their routes, performance metrics, and even remote diagnostics for maintenance purposes. MoveOS 4, a new electric motorcycle that will add new features to Ola S1 electric scooters, was released by Ola Electric in August 2023.
 

One of these is Concert mode, which appears to be an extension of Party mode and has the lights turned on in time with the music being played on the electric scooter. It is anticipated that the company will upgrade the electric scooters with additional moods or home screens. Depending on the mode the rider chooses, the scooter alters the sound of acceleration.
 

Besides, e-bike manufacturers are exploring various designs and use cases to cater to a broader range of consumers. This includes specialized e-bikes for commuting, mountain biking, cargo hauling, and even electric folding bikes for easy storage and transportation. The e-bike market is expected to offer more options to suit different preferences and lifestyles.

The passenger vehicle type segment held over 79% of the e-bike market share in 2022. The SLA battery segment could dominate the market share by 2032, driven by their cost-effectiveness and durability. SLA batteries are comparatively more affordable than other types, making e-bikes more accessible to a wider range of consumers. Furthermore, their robust construction and ability to handle diverse charging conditions contribute to their popularity. Although lithium-ion batteries dominate the market, SLA batteries find traction in certain markets where affordability is a key consideration, such as in developing regions where e-bike adoption is rapidly growing.
