PROPULSION SEGMENT MARKET OVERVIEW
- In Australia, cycling is a common activity for the population. Men participate in cycling at a significantly higher rate than women, suggesting that men ride more frequently than women. Around 34.2% of people rode bicycles in 2017, recording a slight decline from 2016. In Australia, sales of e-bikes are growing quickly, and the import of e-bikes tripled in the past three years. The government has since announced that there would be a 5% charge for importing e-bikes. The increased tax would not apply to countries with free trade agreements with Australia, such as China, Cambodia, Indonesia, and the United States, but it might increase the price of e-bikes made in Taiwan, Europe, and India.
- According to the Australian Automobile Association, traffic congestion has caused an average reduction in driving speeds of 3-8% in the country's major cities. If significant policy changes are not made, congestion costs are predicted to reach between USD 27.7 and USD 37.3 billion by 2030. On the other hand, rising fuel prices, worsening traffic, growing interest in exercise and health, and increasing environmental consciousness are the key forces driving the Australian e-bike market. The demand for e-bikes is also driven by an increasing interest among the population in preserving the environment for future generations, primarily by combating environmental problems and the depletion of natural resources.
- Two recent breakthroughs that have had a substantial impact on the market dynamics for electric bicycles in Australia are the launch of high-end electric bicycles and the introduction of high-tech speed pedelec bikes with smartphone integration. The pedal-assisted segment held the biggest share of the Australian e-bike market during the historical period (2017-2022), but the speed pedelec segment is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period.
Australia E-bike Market Trends
Australia's E-Bike adoption rates show steady growth, indicating an increasing market presence and consumer interest.
- In Australia, e-bike sales are increasing at a rapid pace. The popularity of e-bikes for short distances and leisure activities has significantly increased in recent years. Since they do not require gasoline or other petroleum-based fuels, e-bikes are affordable and accessible, as well as environmentally benign. These vehicles are intended to fit into tight spaces and readily maneuver through congested areas. The rising number of trips per vehicle and supporting rules are likely to aid the market's growth during the forecast period.
- As per the Australian Vehicle Standards, e-bikes can be ridden on the road if the motor does not provide more than 250 watts of maximum continuous power and if the vehicle cannot travel more than 25 km/h with throttle assistance. Electric bike manufacturers are now targeting the Australian market, so supply and options are also expected to increase. The development of premium folding e-bikes and the introduction of high-tech electric bikes with smartphone integration are two emerging trends that are expected to directly influence the dynamics of the electric bicycle industry in Australia and drive the market during the forecast period.
Australia exhibits a gradual rise in the population commuting 5-15 km daily, reflecting evolving commuting distances.
- The demand for bicycles has been increasing gradually across Australia. Public transportation is the country's most popular mode of transportation, and comparatively, fewer people choose to commute by bicycle. Commuters using bicycles to travel between 5 and 15 kilometers increased in 2020 over 2019 as more people began to exercise and use bicycles for nearby areas, such as markets. However, commuter travel between 5 and 15 kilometers is still relatively low compared to other modes of transportation in Australia.
- The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the Australian bicycle market as more people opted to bike or walk to work rather than use public transportation to maintain social distancing. Following the pandemic's impacts, fewer individuals took public transit, which increased the number of daily bicycle commuters in 2021 compared to 2020. The advancements in e-bikes and the introduction of cutting-edge features like longer battery lives encouraged more people to opt for bicycles, which resulted in a rise in commuters traveling between 5 and 15 kilometers on bicycles in Australia in 2021.
- For routes between 5 and 15 kilometers, people now commute by bicycle, including trips to their places of employment, business, and markets. The number of persons using bicycles for transportation to work increased in 2022 over 2021. Development in bicycle infrastructure in the country is expected to contribute to the growing number of bicycle commuters in Australia.

Keyword | Definition |
---|---|
Pedal Assisted | Pedal-assist or pedelec category refers to the electric bikes that provide limited power assistance through torque-assist system and do not have throttle for varying the speed. The power from the motor gets activated upon pedaling in these bikes and reduces human efforts. |
Throttle Assisted | Throttle-based e-bikes are equipped with the throttle assistance grip, installed on the handlebar, similarly to motorbikes. The speed can be controlled by twisting the throttle directly without the need to pedal. The throttle response directly provides power to the motor installed in the bicycles and speeds up the vehicle without paddling. |
Speed Pedelec | Speed pedelec is e-bikes similar to pedal-assist e-bikes as they do not have throttle functionality. However, these e-bikes are integrated with an electric motor which delivers power of approximately 500 W and more. The speed limit of such e-bikes is generally 45 km/h (28 mph) in most of the countries. |
City/Urban | The city or urban e-bikes are designed with daily commuting standards and functions to be operated within the city and urban areas. The bicycles include various features and specifications such as comfortable seats, sit upright riding posture, tires for easy grip and comfortable ride, etc. |
Trekking | Trekking and mountain bikes are special types of e-bikes that are designed for special purposes considering the robust and rough usage of the vehicles. These bicycles include a strong frame, and wide tires for better and advanced grip and are also equipped with various gear mechanisms which can be used while riding in different terrains, rough grounded, and tough mountainous roads. |
Cargo/Utility | The e-cargo or utility e-bikes are designed to carry various types of cargo and packages for shorter distances such as within urban areas. These bikes are usually owned by local businesses and delivery partners to deliver packages and parcels at very low operational costs. |
Lithium-ion Battery | A Li-ion battery is a rechargeable battery, which uses lithium and carbon as its constituent materials. The Li-Ion batteries have a higher density and lesser weight than sealed lead acid batteries and provide the rider with more range per charge than other types of batteries. |
Lead Acid Battery | A lead acid battery refers to sealed lead acid battery having a very low energy-to-weight and energy-to-volume ratio. The battery can produce high surge currents, owing to its relatively high power-to-weight ratio as compared to other rechargeable batteries. |
Other Batteries | This includes electric bikes using nickel–metal hydroxide (NiMH), silicon, and lithium-polymer batteries. |
Business-to-Business (B2B) | The sales of e-bikes to business customers such as urban fleet and logistics company, rental/sharing operators, last-mile fleet operators, and corporate fleet operators are considered under this category. |
Business-to-Customers (B2C) | The sales of electric scooters and motorcycles to direct consumers is considered under this category. The consumers acquire these vehicles either directly from manufacturers or from other distributers and dealers through online and offline channel. |
Unorganized Local OEMs | These players are small local manufacturers and assemblers of e-bikes. Most of these manufacturers import the components from China and Taiwan and assemble them locally. They offer the product at low cost in this price sensitive market which give them advantage over organized manufacturers. |
Battery-as-a-Service | A business model in which the battery of an EV can be rented from a service provider or swapped with another battery when it runs out of charge |
Dockless e-Bikes | Electric bikes that have self-locking mechanisms and a GPS tracking facility with an average top speed of around 15mph. These are mainly used by bike-sharing companies such as Bird, Lime, and Spin. |
Electric Vehicle | A vehicle which uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. Includes cars, scooters, buses, trucks, motorcycles, and boats. This term includes all-electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles |
Plug-in EV | An electric vehicle that can be externally charged and generally includes all-electric vehicles as well as plug-in hybrids. In this report we use the term for all-electric vehicles to differentiate them from plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. |
Lithium-Sulphur Battery | A rechargeable battery that replaces the liquid or polymer electrolyte found in current lithium-ion batteries with sulfur. They have more capacity than Li-ion batteries. |
Micromobility | Micromobility is one of the many modes of transport involving very-light-duty vehicles to travel short distances. These means of transportation include bikes, e-scooters, e-bikes, mopeds, and scooters. Such vehicles are used on a sharing basis for covering short distances, usually five miles or less. |
Low Speed Electric Vehicls (LSEVs) | They are low speed (usually less than 25 kmph) light vehicles that do not have an internal combustion engine, and solely use electric energy for propulsion. |
