EUROPE COUNTRY LEVEL MARKET OVERVIEW
Europe E-bike Market Trends
Germany stands out with its notably high adoption rates, indicating a mature market and strong consumer acceptance.
- Europe has witnessed a significant demand for e-bicycles over the past few years. Rising fuel prices, traffic jams during peak hours, and exercise benefits are some of the factors responsible for the increasing adoption rate of e-bikes in European countries, such as the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, and Germany. Denmark accounted for the major share of e-bike sales and had a higher adoption rate in 2019 than other countries in the region, such as Luxembourg. The growing demand for e-bikes further accelerated their adoption rate across Europe.
- The growing number of COVID-19 cases affected the bicycle business positively. As people avoided public or rented transportation to maintain social distancing, they changed their commuting methods and invested in e-bikes as a convenient and price-friendly option. Such factors accelerated the adoption rate of e-bikes in 2020 across Europe.
- The resumption of business operations and the relaxation of restrictions, such as lockdowns and trade activities, boosted the adoption of e-bikes and increased the import and export activities in the region. The growing consumer interest in e-bikes is expected to increase their adoption in the region during the forecast period.
Steady growth in 5-15 km commutes, especially in Belgium and the Netherlands, reflects efficient transportation and urban planning.
- Europe has many bicycle-friendly countries, including the Netherlands, Poland, and the United Kingdom. The demand for bicycles has grown recently in these countries. People in Europe are gradually shifting toward bicycles for shorter commutes (5-15 km) or trips to neighboring areas, including businesses and markets. Belgium has the highest percentage of daily commuters within 5-15 km in Europe.
- The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 changed people's perceptions of bicycles as a secure, isolating means of transportation. People chose bicycles as an ideal form of exercise during the pandemic or engaged in weekend leisurely rides to neighboring areas, thus increasing the number of commuters with a daily travel distance of 5-15 km by 0.3% in 2021. Consumers commuting a daily distance of 5-15 km per day were drawn to e-bikes with their cutting-edge battery packs that offer an increased range of up to 40-45 km.
- Many people in the region regularly commute by bicycle to their places of employment within 5-15 km. Bicycle commuting is increasingly common in developed countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, and Norway, largely because it is healthy, carbon-free, fuel-efficient, and saves time in traffic. During the forecast period, these factors are anticipated to accelerate the number of commuters traveling a daily distance of 5-15 km across Europe.

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. |
