E-bike Market by Class, Battery Type (Lithium-ion, Lithium-ion polymer, Lead Acid), Motor Type (Mid, Hub), Mode (Throttle, Pedal Assist), Usage, and Region (Asia Pacific, Europe, North America) - Global forecast to 2025
[144 Pages Report] The global e-bike market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.01% during the forecast period, to reach USD 38.6 billion by 2025 from an estimated USD 21.1 billion in 2018. Class-I electric bike is estimated to be the largest segment in the global market. A class-I electric bike is equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and stops providing assistance when the bicycle reaches 20 mph.
Class-I electric bike is expected to be the largest segment during the forecast period
Class-I electric bike is anticipated to be the largest segment of the e-bike market. Class-I electric bike provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and stops providing assistance when the bicycle reaches 20 mph. This type of electric bike can operate on any paved surface. Also, class-I electric bike are compatible with electric bike laws of most of the countries. Thus, class-I electric bike are expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period.
Class-III segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period
Class-III electric two wheeler segment is likely to be the fastest growing segment of the global market. A class-III electric bike, which is also known as speed pedal-assisted electric bicycle, provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and stops providing assistance when the bicycle reaches 28 mph. These electric bike are allowed on roads, adjacent bike lanes, or private property due to their higher speed than the other two classes, i.e. class-I and class-II. These electric bike are expected to help replace cars and reduce traffic congestion. Hence, this electric bike segment is expected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is expected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period
The Asia Pacific region is estimated to be the largest e-bike market by 2025. The region comprises some of the fastest developing economies of the world such as China and India. The governments of these developing economies have recognized the growth potential of electric two-wheelers and, hence, have taken several initiatives to attract major OEMs to manufacture electric two-wheelers in their domestic markets. For instance, the Government of India announced financial support and a scheme called Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME). Under the scheme, there is a subsidy of up to INR 22,000 for electric scooters/electric bikes. Government promotions and schemes have led to an increase in sales of electric two-wheelers over the years.
The governments of many countries in the Asia Pacific region are focusing on electric two wheelers. For instance, China’s electric bikes have gained popularity in the European market due to their good quality and technological edge.

The study involves four main activities to estimate the current size of the e-bike market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market such as sales of different types of electric bikes in Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and market analysis with industry experts across value chains through primary research. A bottom-up approach was employed to estimate the complete market size of different segments considered in this study.
Secondary Research
The secondary sources referred to in this research study include automotive industry associations, the Confederation of the European Bicycle Industry, Europe (CONEBI), People for Bikes (US), Canadian Electric Bicycle Association (Canada), China Electric Bike Association; corporate filings (such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements); and trade, business, and electric bike associations. Secondary data has been collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall market size, which is further validated by multiple industry experts.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research was conducted after acquiring an understanding of the scenario of the e-bike market through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with the market experts from both demand- side (OEM) and supply-side (e-bike component manufacturers) across 3 major regions, namely, North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In our canvassing of primaries, we strived to cover various departments within organizations, which included sales, operations, and administration, to provide a holistic viewpoint of the e-bike market in our report.
After interacting with the industry participants, we conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the opinions of the in-house subject-matter experts, led us to the findings as described in this report.
