The Global Electric Bike (e-bike) Market size is USD 41 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 70 billion by 2030 exhibiting a CAGR of around 8% during the forecast period.
Government funding and stringent regulations for electric bikes are significant factors that are anticipated to accelerate the growth of the market size of electric bikes. In addition, the growth of the global electric bicycle industry is motivated by the rising willingness of consumers to use e-bikes as an eco-friendly and reliable alternative to commuting and fuel costs.
In addition to growing user demand for outdoor and adventure sports, during the projected timeframe, the adoption of e-bike applications in many industries, such as logistics and e-bike rental services, is expected to boost the studied market.
Owing to growing urbanization and the increasing amount of vehicular traffic on the road, the use of electric bikes is increasing. Thanks to their power capability, long-distance range, and moderate speed, electric bikes are now considered a viable transportation alternative.
• Lithium-Ion
• Lithium-Ion Polymer
• Nickel Metal Hydride
• Lead Acid
• Sealed Lead Acid
The lithium-ion segment leads the battery type segment due to its low maintenance and longer durability. However, since it is an improved variant of lithium-ion batteries with greater longevity, the lithium-ion polymer market is increasing at higher rates. Eco-friendly, lithium-ion batteries have a longer life span and provide more power to weight ratios than other types of batteries. In recent years, these batteries have also seen a sharp price decrease. E-bike manufacturers' attempts to produce lightweight e-bikes have also led to higher use of lithium-ion batteries.
• Mid Drive Hub Motor
• Rear Hub Motor
• Front Hub Motor
The mid-drive hub motor segment dominates the hub motor position segment as it is the most suitable design for pedelec e-bikes and pedal-assisted e-bikes that are commonly consumed worldwide. Also, mid-drive hub motor-based e-bikes are favored due to their greater weight distribution. Due to the benefits of mid-engines, such as smaller size, lighter weight, less noise, and smooth incorporation with bike frames, the majority of European and North American e-bike manufacturers are switching from hub to mid-engine. Therefore, during the forecast period, the mid-motor segment is expected to report a higher CAGR.
• Pedal Assist
• Throttle
Based on mode, the e-bike market is segmented into pedal assist and throttle. The section of pedal assistance is primarily used by customers as it offers cycling functionality as well as electrical assistance for longer cruises, so pedal assistance dominates the segment of mode.
• Under 750 W
• Over 750 W
The 750 W segment has the largest market share in the battery power segment and is projected to rise at a faster pace because batteries under 750 W are lightweight relative to batteries over 750 W. Often, laws from different governments help dominate the segment under 750 W batteries.
• Class I (pedal assist/pedelec)
• Class II (throttle)
• Class III (speed pedelec)
The class I (pedal assist/pedelec) category dominates the class segment in line with pedal assist mode, provided that these types of e-bikes are commonly preferred over full-throttle e-bikes by health-conscious individuals.
• City/Urban
• Cruise
• Mountain/Trekking
• Bikes
• Racing
• Cargo
When most of the e-bikes bought are used in metropolitan areas for cost-effective and eco-friendly commuting for short distances, such as commuting to work or office, the city/urban segment retains a large portion of the use segment.
• Asia Pacific
• North Americas
• Europe
Asia Pacific is expected to account for the largest market during the forecast period
During the projected period, Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the largest e-bike region. In this area, due to growing e-bike purchases in these countries, China, Japan, India, and Taiwan are potential markets.

The Government's Stringent Emission Standards are projected to fuel growth in the size of the electric bike industry. Strict restrictions have been imposed on manufacturers to manufacture zero-emission cars by the governments of various countries. Key OEMs have invested heavily in R&D to develop environmentally friendly vehicles. Governments in developing countries have proposed different subsidies, such as tax-free electric bicycle purchases.
It is anticipated that the increasing interest in cycling as exercise would further fuel the scale of the electric bike industry. The interest in cycling as a health and recreational pursuit has been motivated by a paradigm change in fitness-conscious buyers because riding an electric bike provides longer distances for the same amount of peddling.
It is predicted that increasing worries about road congestion and government efforts to alleviate traffic congestion would expand the size of the demand for electric bikes. As they occupy the least space on the lane, the use of e-bikes would reduce the number of vehicles on the road and result in fewer traffic jams.
The positive impact of COVID-19 on e-bike sales globally
One of the factors projected to boost the market for e-bikes over the forecast period is rapid urbanization and traffic congestion in cities. Shared versatility for transportation is unlikely to be favored because of the COVID-19 pandemic. E-bikes are considered an alternative to mass transit that is clean, comfortable, and inexpensive. To minimize the burden on public transit networks, several nations are moving towards improving e-bikes using both discounts and regulatory improvements. E-bikes are also smaller, easier to charge, and do not need massive improvements in supporting facilities relative to other mobility networks. Therefore, an increase in demand is being observed for e-bikes.
Technological Advancements
With the adoption of e-bikes, technical developments in the area of e-bikes are taking place, and linked e-bikes are one such development. Automatic calls, seamless routing, social media connection, an anti-theft system, and remote diagnostics are some of the essential features provided by the linked e-bike. Bosch, which provides a wired e-bike solution, is one of the main players in the e-bike industry.
Rise in Demand of Greener and Cleaner Mode of Transportation
High traffic congestion in metropolitan areas is raising the worldwide need for e-bikes. Demand for greener and safer modes of transport is growing, driving the global e-bike industry.
International trade policies and regulations
Because of Europe's anti-dumping regulation, the region was initially affected as it was unable to satisfy the demand for parts.
The engine and battery are the two most important components of the e-bike. One of the problems for e-bike manufacturers is regulating the motor's speed and torque over a wide variety of speed and load conditions. Given the limited amount of energy contained in a battery available, the power of the battery must be used as effectively as possible. Hence, it would be necessary for battery manufacturers to decide the correct battery capacity in terms of operation and range.
High Maintenance cost of Battery
Numerous research and development works on electric bikes and their batteries have been carried out in recent years. One of the big issues is charging and servicing of the battery. The development of the market could be hindered by numerous technological problems, such as the fast discharge of the battery after a short trip and the slowdown of the battery of the bike at freezing temperatures.
