According to market dynamics, two key factors anticipated to significantly influence the expansion of the e-scooters business over the next few years are the increasing demand for fuel-efficient e-scooters ly and the growing concern over the alarming rise in pollution. Governments in many places have imposed strict emission limitations to slow the rate at which carbon levels are rising in the atmosphere. For example, the USA's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) produced a rule to update the current national GHG emission regulations for light trucks and passenger cars.
The IEA (International Energy Agency) report published in 2020 mentioned that, since its introduction in 2017, electric micromobility choices had grown quickly. Shared electric scooters, electric-assist bikes, and electric mopeds are now accessible in more than 600 cities in more than 50 countries. Due to the prohibitions on two-wheelers with internal combustion engines in many Chinese cities, an estimated 350 million electric two- and three-wheelers, most of which are in China, account for 25% of all two- and three-wheelers now in use. According to market research, there are currently about 380,000 light commercial electric cars on the road, many of which are part of fleets owned by businesses or government agencies.
Furthermore, the huge increase in demand for electric scooter in these regions is mostly due to increasing urbanization and increased population density, particularly in emerging countries. Additionally, it is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly means of transportation, which drives the e-scooters industry expansion during the anticipated period.
In recent years, many urban mobility fads have gained popularity, including shared bikes, e-scooters, and dockless bikes. E-Scooters Market are more feasible for short- and long-distance commutes and reduces overall travel time. As a result, the demand for e-scooters will increase more swiftly than that for electric cars in the next few years.
However, to cater to the demand, there have been significant advances in e-scooters, which reduce the cost of e-scooters and motorcycles. This is another factor driving the growth of the industry revenue during the forecast period.
The E-Scooters Market segmentation, based on battery type, includes sealed lead acid, Li-Ion, and Ni-MH. According to market statistics, the sealed lead acid segment held the majority share in 2021, contributing to around 60% of the electric scooters market revenue. Due to its durability and cost-effective advantages, the sealed lead-acid battery sector dominated the market in 2021 with a sizeable market share. These batteries are rechargeable and can be fully charged 300 times before needing to be replaced. They are heavier than NiMH and Li-Ion batteries and have the shortest lifespan.
According to the market forecast, the lithium-ion battery segment is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR. The demand for Li-Ion batteries has increased due to rising environmental consciousness and their superior performance over sealed-lead acid and NiMH batteries.
According to the market outlook, the market is segmented into 36V, 24V, 48V, and more than 48V based on voltage. Voltage-wise, the 36V sector dominated the market data in 2021. These batteries provide excellent power output and compatibility with e-scooters, which is anticipated to drive the segment's expansion. Li-Ion and NiMH batteries are primarily employed to meet the need for batteries used in 36V systems because of their much more compact designs, faster charging times, and lack of toxic chemical emissions compared to sealed lead-acid batteries. Hence, increased utilization of 36V batteries positively impacts electric scooters market growth in 2021.
The more than 48V market is anticipated to experience significant growth between 2021 and 2030. E-scooters with 60V and 70V batteries are expected to experience substantial growth due to ongoing research and development efforts to increase their range and speed. To lower CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, high-voltage batteries are being updated with recovery and start-stop functions.
December 2022: With the help of the international electric racing series Formula E, micromobility manufacturer Zinc Sports has developed a new line of electric scooters. Its first model, the Formula E GZ1, was just announced and focused on use and safety at an alluring price. According to the manufacturer, the technology enables the scooter to automatically control speed, smooth out rough road surfaces, and offer a more stable riding experience overall. The robust 500-watt motor functions in tandem with all of these advanced capabilities. The 36V, 13-Ah lithium-ion battery pack already within the device ranges up to 31 miles on a single charge. Thus, such developments have further broadened the growth opportunity for the E-Scooters industry.
April 2022: The brand's newest affordable, lightweight e-scooters built for urban commuters, the Yadea KS3 Lite, have just been presented. The biggest producer of e-scooters worldwide is Yadea. The KS3 Lite advertises a top speed of 15.6 mph (25 km/h) and claims its 500W motor can climb a 14% gradient. The e-scooters can support a maximum weight of 220 lb (100 kg), proving that it is not only toys for children. Due to a very small 36V and 5.2Ah battery with only 187 Wh of capacity, the range is somewhat constrained. Although this sort of scooter is typically utilized for short-distance travel in urban areas, it only has a range of 12 miles (20 km).
