The demand for conventional bikes is increasing in the industry due to their low initial & maintenance cost as compared to e-bikes. The service providers are making large investments for offering advanced technologies, such as GPS, IoT, and AI in conventional bikes, contributing to the bike sharing market expansion. These services are majorly used in Asia Pacific and Latin American countries such as India, China, and Brazil due to the unavailability of ample investments for the adoption of e-bikes.

The station-based service segment is expected to witness rapid growth in the bike sharing market over the forecast timeline due to increasing government investments for the development of public transportation infrastructure. Companies are installing several new sharing stations at various locations to expand their geographical reach and offer customers bikes at convenient locations. For instance, in August 2018, Divvy Bikes announced the installation of 30 new stations in the Chicago region including River North, Englewood, and Ukrainian Village. Moreover, the station-based model reduces the threats of vandalism & theft due to the enhanced security of stations. However, the high infrastructure development cost of these stations is leading service providers to adopt peer-to-peer solutions.
 

The North America bike sharing market is expected to grow at over 10% CAGR from 2019 to 2025 due to the robust expansion of e-bike sharing services in the U.S. Companies are deploying e-bikes over traditional cycles to offer enhanced performance to their customers. For instance, in June 2019, Madison BCycle announced the replacement of its conventional bikes with e-bikes in the U.S. The working professionals in several cities including New York, Seattle, and Chicago are opting for these solutions to commute to and from their workplaces. As per the data shared by the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), in April 2019, approximately 35 million shared trips were taken in the U.S. in 2017 that is around 25% more than in 2016. Companies operating in the region are offering coupons, discounts, and free rides on specific days to gain an enhanced customer base. For instance, in November 2018, Citi Bikes and Motivate announced free rides to voters on election day in the U.S. Station-based services are primarily adopted by service providers in North America due to the increasing threats of theft.
 

Key companies in the bike sharing market include ofo, Lime, Mobike, Neutron Holdings Inc., Youon Bikes, Tembici, Capital Bikeshare, Divvy Bikes, Ford GoBike, and Nextbike.
