MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

The Europe e-bike market is growing at a healthy rate because people have more awareness of sustainable modes of transport. The European Union government also pledged it would emit at least 55% less net greenhouse gas by 2030, as it promoted e-bikes to transport people and create zero emissions. E-bikes have no emissions during riding in comparison, and their emissions by kilometer traveled (14.8g CO2e) are 30% less than customary bicycles. E-bikes transport urban populations in a green way.

The government acts to promote and regulate e-bikes in Europe: the French government offers cash incentives of between €300 and €2000 depending on income, increasing sales of different types of e-bikes in a meaningful way. In the UK, campaigns for safer purchasing and piloting of e-bikes frame them as a part of a wider sustainability agenda within. This agenda addresses urban congestion and pollution.

Infrastructure develops and factors into e-bike market growth. In 2021, 318.8 million Euro was provided for cycling infrastructure in Germany, and dedicated bike lanes are being expanded in the Netherlands. Public e-bike charging stations, and EU requirements for electric vehicle (EV) fast charging every 37 miles (60 km) on major routes, reduce range anxiety for longer e-bike commutes due to battery depletion fears.
