  Increasing government initiatives toward electric mobility to boost the market growth

  
  

Due to growing awareness of the dangers associated with operating fossil fuel-powered vehicles, governments from many nations are decreasing their carbon footprints by promoting electric bikes, scooters, and bicycles. Additionally, governments are building bicycle-friendly roadways, which encourage people to use bicycles as their primary form of transportation. Many governments are paying close attention to electric bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles as dependable, effective types of light motor vehicles (LMVs) that contribute to lowering carbon emissions. For instance, the Indian government announced a plan in June 2019 to reduce the goods and service tax (GST) on electric vehicles from 12% to 5% to promote their adoption more quickly.

Fuel price increases over the past ten years have contributed to an increase in the use of electric bicycles for daily commuting. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting (OPEC) countries, which have significant control over crude oil prices, are to blame for the rise in fuel prices. Furthermore, with future sources of crude oil becoming scarcer, prices are predicted to rise. Electric-powered bicycles enable riders to ride more comfortably on bumpy terrain and maintain higher speeds more effectively. As a result, it is anticipated that rising fuel prices will increase consumer preference for e-bikes and spur demand for an e-motorcycles.

The Electric two-wheelers is more affordable than a car, does not need a license, and can be used on the current road system. Governments from different nations are also concentrating on creating an infrastructure for an Electric two-wheelers. For instance, Pittsburgh unveiled a 10-year plan in June 2020 that calls for adding more than 120 miles of new trails, bicycle lanes, and other roadway upgrades to the city's bike infrastructure. Additionally, two solar parking lots in Tokyo were opened by Sanyo (Japan), where about 100 electric bikes could be recharged using solar energy. Therefore, it is projected that rising government initiatives for the construction of electric motorcycle infrastructure and the spread of smart cities around the world would present the electric motorcycle market with attractive growth prospects, enhancing the electric motorcycle market CAGR across the globe in recent years.

Companies are now concentrating on online sales platforms to improve their commercial presence due to the rise in dealerships. With the help of governments and automakers, the carbon emissions gap is dramatically closed by achieving zero emissions criteria. People are switching to Plug-in motorcyclesdue to the exponentially rising cost of fuel around the world, which will accelerate the expansion of the Electric Motorcycle Market, another factor driving the growth of the electric motorcycle market revenue.

E Motorcycles Market Segment Insights:

Electric Motorcycle Vehicle Range Insights

The Electric Motorcycle Market segmentation, based on vehicle range, includes below 75 miles, 75-100 miles, and above 100 miles. The above 100 miles segment held the majority share in 2021 of the Electric Motorcycle Market revenue. An Battery-powered bikes with more than 130 miles (210 km) has an extraordinarily long range. As a result, while electric vehicles perform admirably as daily commuters covering a fixed roundtrip route, passengers encounter disabling range anxiety when driving on open roads.

Electric Motorcycle Battery Type Insights

The E-motorcycles Market segmentation, based on battery type, includes li-ion, lead acid, and nickel metal hydride. The lead-acid segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period 2024-2030. Comparing lead-based batteries to other battery types, they are more economical. These batteries are also called maintenance-free because they are simple to maintain and recharge. Lead-based batteries are available in various forms, voltages, amperages, and dimensions. Since they typically do not allow for the addition or loss of liquid, these batteries are typically sealed, which positively impacts the market growth.

Electric Motorcycle Voltage Insights

The Electric Motorcycle Market data has been bifurcated by voltage into below 24 volts, 24-48 volts, 48-60 volts, and above 60 volts. The above 60 volts segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period 2022-2030. Electric motorcycle with a greater driving range and weight-bearing capability require batteries with voltages of more than 60V. This kind of battery is employed in vintage Zero-emission bikes since they need a large capacity and a lengthy travel range.
