PROPULSION SEGMENT MARKET OVERVIEW
- Individuals' improved fitness consciousness, greater environmental concern, increased traffic congestion, and government attempts to promote cycling are the key growth factors in this industry. China and Japan are two of the most prominent countries where e-bikes have gained popularity. Some key reasons for consumers adopting and riding e-bikes in Asia-Pacific are health benefits, traffic congestion avoidance, environmental benefits, and rising demand for e-bikes as sports equipment.
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, bicycle demand increased in South Korea. Bicycles are used for transportation and other activities such as sports, exercise, and trekking. The increased public awareness of the health benefits of pedaling is driving demand. Consumers want safer, more comfortable, and ecologically responsible vehicles, which may inspire the associated businesses to develop a range of innovative cycle pedal items. The rise of shared mobility companies has increased the demand for such vehicles for daily travel.
- Rising youth interest in sports like uphill cycling and increased knowledge of the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle are projected to drive market demand over the coming years. A pedal-assisted bicycle is useful for short distances, but the speed pedelec is expected to be the most convenient option in the future as its power and speed capabilities improve.
ASIA-PACIFIC COUNTRY LEVEL MARKET OVERVIEW
- A growing number of cycling events, as well as favorable government and employer initiatives, are likely to drive the industry under consideration. Numerous governing bodies in Asia-Pacific promote road racing, touring and leisure cycling, track racing, off-road racing events, and mountain cycling events, such as The Cycling Federation of India and The Chinese Cycling Association.
- Bicycle sales first fell owing to the nationwide shutdown of offline retailers due to COVID-19 pandemic regulations. However, demand for bicycles has recently grown, with consumers preferring to shun public transit due to fear of getting the virus. As consumers become more health-conscious, bicycles are increasingly viewed as a more trustworthy and healthful method of transportation, which encourages sales. E-bikes, on the other hand, are progressively gaining market share as battery prices fall and client preferences shift. Sales are also expanding at a faster rate, with over 50 companies offering a diverse selection of models. Such variables are expected to have an impact on market growth.
- China and Japan are two of the most prominent countries where e-bikes have gained popularity. Some of the key reasons for adopting and driving e-bikes in Asia-Pacific are health benefits, traffic congestion avoidance, environmental benefits, and rising demand for e-bikes as sports equipment. In recent years, health and environmental quality, as well as the concept of smart cities, have arisen as drivers of bicycles increased. Nonetheless, expansion driven by these factors has been hampered by the cycle-unfriendly environment and infrastructure in most cities.
Asia-Pacific E-bike Market Trends
China's massive adoption rate showcases the vast market potential and cultural integration of e-bikes.
- The Asia-Pacific region is dominating the global e-bike sales, mainly due to the two-wheeler culture in the region, growing government support in the form of tax incentives for EVs, hefty taxes on conventional, fuel-based vehicles, expansion of the e-commerce and food delivery systems, and rapid urbanization. E-bikes also offer a good user experience with additional benefits, such as the non-requirement of driving licenses, insurance, inspections, and parking permits.
- In Asia-Pacific, bike commuting has long been the primary transportation mode in China, Japan, India, and several Southeast Asian countries. The electrification in China and Japan led to the total number of e-bikes reaching 150 million in the region, which is expected to rise in the near future. The pedal-assisted e-bike segment is dominating in the Asia-Pacific region as many countries limit e-bikes in terms of speed and power. Most of these are limited to 250 W motor power and a speed of 25 kmph. The governments in some countries have set regulations for power limits in throttle-assisted electric bikes, resulting in them accounting for a low market share in unit sales.
- The e-bike market, especially for pedal-assist e-bikes in China and Japan, is reaching a saturation point as unit sales growth becomes stagnant. However, Indonesia, India, Singapore, and South Korea are expected to witness significant growth in the near future, driven by many strategic measures taken by domestic two-wheeler and low-speed electric vehicle producers and the government’s plans for rapid electrification of two-wheelers. The growth in shared e-bike systems in India, Singapore, and Thailand is further supporting the growth of the e-bike market in the region.
Varied trends with Japan stable and high, and China and India growing, indicating diverse commuting patterns and infrastructure evolution.
- Asia-Pacific is made up of several countries with a decent bicycle population, including China, India, and Japan. The demand for bicycles has grown recently among the countries in the region. People in Asia-Pacific are using bicycles for short commutes (up to 15 km) or trips to neighboring locations like businesses and workplaces. With 5 to 15 kilometers of travel per day, China has the highest percentage of daily commuters in the Asia-Pacific region.
- Numerous people discovered bicycles to be a secure, isolating means of transportation after the COVID-19 outbreak, which forced the closing of gyms and public transportation in various Asia-Pacific countries. People also decided to exercise during the pandemic by bicycling or going on weekend runs to nearby places, which increased the number of commuters with a daily travel distance of 5 to 15 kilometers in 2021 over 2020 across the region. Consumers who commuted 5 to 15 kilometers were also attracted to the introduction of e-bikes with cutting-edge battery packs that offered an increased range of up to 40 to 45 kilometers.
- The removal of COVID restrictions and the opening of offices and businesses across Asia-Pacific contributed to the growth of bicycle users. Many people regularly commute by bicycle to their workplaces and enterprises within 5 to 15 kilometers. Bicycle commuting is becoming more and more common, largely because it is healthy, carbon-free, fuel-efficient, and saves traffic time in countries like China and Japan. During the forecast period, these factors are anticipated to promote cyclists journeying 5 to 15 km across Asia-Pacific.

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. |
