  Increasing Application of Connectivity Solutions for Bicycles to boost the market growth

  
  

Drivers can be kept safe by connectivity applications like V2X (vehicle-to-everything), which can warn them if a scooter or bicycle is in danger. For instance, Tome declared he was working on a bicycle-to-vehicle (B2V) communication standard with SAE Industry Technologies and nine other members. The B2V board includes cycling firms like Trek Bicycle and Specialized and Subaru, GM, and Ford. Several new B2V prototypes and models were unveiled in January 2021 at CES. For instance, Specialized is attempting to integrate B2V technology into its Specialized Ride App. Therefore, increasing bicycle connectivity is anticipated to have a favorable impact on the Electric Bicycles Market.

Municipal bike-sharing programs around the world have embraced e-bikes quickly. Residents and travelers are using e-bikes more frequently as a result of the demand for more accessible and secure public transportation options as well as social distance requirements. Around 80% of Biki bike-sharing system customers in Honolulu, Hawaii, cited riding as the most favored and secure mode of public transit. For instance, Madison (Wisconsin) replaced its fleet of bike-share bikes with electric versions in 2019. Usage has since increased by more than doubling. Chicago wants to add 10,000 ebikes to its Divvy bike-share system by 2022, up from the 3,500 electric bicycle the city introduced in 2020.

The ecology of public transportation includes shared micro-mobility. Shared electric micro-mobility is a flexible transportation option that offers mobile services for several journeys at a cheaper per-traveler cost, complementing greater volume fixed-route transit services. The North American Bikeshare and Scooter share Association (NABSA) released its yearly report on the shared micro-mobility market in August 2021, recently enhancing the electric bicycles market CAGR globally.

Like a typical bicycle, an electric bike pedal-assisted mode uses pedals that the user must actively press to turn the wheels. The benefits, which include longer battery life, fewer maintenance requirements, and the ability for users to select among three to five pedal assist modes depending on the model, are expected to draw in new customers and are likely to improve the market's overall growth throughout the forecast period, another factor driving the growth of the bicycles electric market revenue.

Electric Bicycles Market Segment Insights:

Electric Cycles Type Insights

The electric bicycles market segmentation, based on type, includes pedal assist/ pedelecs, power on demand, and pedal assist with power on demand. The pedal assist/ pedelecs segment held the majority share in 2021 of the electric Cycles market revenue. electric motors for bicycles with pedal assistance produce more power from the motor, allowing riders to pedal more quickly and easily. Additionally, eco bike are frequently used on hills and other difficult terrains. Young people's rising demand for pedal-assisted electric bicycle is projected to fuel Electric Bicycles Market expansion.

Electric Cycles Battery Type Insights

The electric bicycles market segmentation, based on battery type, includes sealed lead acid and Li-ion battery. The sealed lead acid battery segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period of 2024–2030. The segment's expansion can be ascribed to the many advantages that lead-acid batteries provide, including their affordability and durability. However, because these batteries are heavy and discharge quickly, their use is anticipated to decrease over the upcoming years, positively impacting market growth.

Electric Cycles Motor Type Insights

The electric bicycles market data has been bifurcated by motor type into hub motor and mid-drive electric. The hub motor segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period 2024-2030. Since they run independently and put no strain on the drivetrain, they require little to no maintenance, which mostly drives their demand. Conversely, the mid-drive motor is predicted to expand faster during the analyzed period. They offer more torque and performance than hub motors because they are directly attached to the bike's gears and cranks.
