PROPULSION SEGMENT MARKET OVERVIEW

  • E-bikes are becoming more powerful, and some models are more similar to scooters and motorcycles than to bicycles in terms of performance. The government's policies and laws supporting the use of green technologies, like e-bikes, are what essentially fuel the China e-bike market. These initiatives have sparked the development of big data-using application platforms and e-bikes with smart batteries. Electric bikes (e-bikes) provide cheap, convenient, and relatively energy-efficient transportation to an estimated 40 million to 50 million people in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as of 2007. In 2015, some 14.35 million electric bikes were sold to customers in China. The country is the most important market for electric bikes worldwide.
  • In 2019, as the leading brand of electric bicycles in China, Yadea sold around 6.1 million units, almost doubling its sales compared to 2016. Meanwhile, Sunra and Niu also experienced sale growth from 2016 to 2019, with respective sales of 1.7 and 0.4 million units in 2019.
  • The consequences of developing transportation infrastructure and increasing transportation volume include pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The transportation industry accounted for 9% of direct CO2 emissions in 2020. The Chinese government is making concerted efforts to change its transportation system into a smart and environmentally friendly one. Given these considerations, the Chinese government will encourage pedal-assisted, speed pedelec, and throttle e-bikes to alleviate China's congestion, pollution, and fuel price difficulties.

China demonstrates exceptionally high and increasing E-Bike adoption rates, highlighting a vast market and strong consumer adoption.

  •  China accounted for more than 90% of consumption in the Asia-Pacific e-bike market during the historical period, owing to the high sales of e-bikes in the country to tackle heavy traffic conditions and growing vehicle pollution. The import and export volumes of e-bikes in China have been large over the past years. Currently, China ranks as the largest exporter of electric bikes worldwide.
  • The Chinese e-bike industry is largely driven by several government efforts and legislation supporting the use of green technology, thus boosting the demand for e-bikes with smart batteries and application platforms. Electric motorcycles made by Chinese manufacturers have gained favor in Europe due to their high quality and technical advancements. There has also been an increase in the demand for e-bikes in the country to prevent traffic congestion and accidents. The advent of rental services due to the rising focus on shared micro-mobility services has also benefited the industry. other factors driving the adoption of e-bikes include hyper-urbanization, a scarcity of parking spaces, and high transport expenses for fuel vehicles
  • An electric bike is becoming an affordable option to many Chinese consumers, as it is priced at CNY 1,500-3,000 (about USD 180-360), which is a small fraction of the cost of a car. During the forecast period, the consumption of e-bikes is likely to continue to grow due to the decreasing cost of e-bikes in the Chinese market. Gasoline prices have risen in the country, while electricity prices in rural areas have dropped, making e-bikes more economically competitive to alternatives, like gasoline-powered scooters.
China E-bike Market

China demonstrates a consistent rise in the population commuting 5-15 km daily, reflecting a gradual change in commuting patterns.

  • Every year, the use of bicycles for transportation grows in China, driving their demand. This growing demand is leading to an increase in the number of people who use bicycles to commute 5-15 km per day. Nearly 15% of individuals in China used bicycles as their primary mode of transportation in 2020 to travel between 5 and 15 km daily to various locations, including offices and schools.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic significantly boosted China's bicycle demand in 2020 and 2021 due to lockdowns and the closure of gyms and yoga studios. People also avoided public transportation to maintain social distancing and chose bicycles to commute to their workplaces, places of business, and other nearby sites in many Chinese cities. In 2021, there was an increase in the number of commuters traveling 5-15 km on bicycles.
  • Currently, many people use bicycles to travel a distance of 5-15 km to their workplaces, places of commerce, and nearby markets. About 17% of daily commuters rode bicycles in 2022. Due to improvements in bicycle infrastructure and a variety of cycling promotion initiatives by the government, the number of people biking to work increased in 2022 compared to 2021. Such factors are anticipated to boost the number of commuters using bicycles to cover a distance of 5-15 km daily, which may also increase the demand for bicycles in China during the forecast period.

  • By Propulsion Type - E-bikes considered under this segment include pedal-assisted e-bikes, throttle-assisted e-bikes, and speed pedelec. While the speed limit of pedal and throttle-assisted e-bikes is usually 25 km/h, the speed limit of speed pedelec is generally 45 km/h (28 mph).
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.
