The clean personal transport market is growing strongly around the world. The mainstream focus is on the shift to Electric Cars, this is largely because we’ve got so reliant on cars. Electric cars offer the nearest option to enable us to continue ‘business as usual’, while still using the same, busy infrastructure which has been built around personal car use.
However, there is a far more popular and accessible option available to a much broader demographic. Fast, fun, convenient and relatively affordable, E-Bikes offer a great way to reduce our carbon footprint, particularly for frequent or shorter trips, whilst also providing cardiovascular exercise, boosting endorphins and improving mental health.
Sales figures of E-Bikes globally dwarf sales of electric cars, in terms of numbers. E-bikes can cover much of our transport needs, especially those shorter trips around local areas. 2022 global E-Bike sales totalled almost 19 Billion US Dollars. This figure is expected to grow around 10% each year until 2030. China has the most E-Bikes in regular use, at around 180 million bikes.
E-Bikes don’t need big batteries like electric cars. Even smaller electric car batteries need around 50 KW of battery capacity to achieve around 400km of range. The battery resources to make a 50KW battery pack could provide a couple of hours of shorter trips for around 75 E-Bike battery packs.
Converting an existing bike is a great way to further reduce the resources needed to electrify your personal transport. Converting an existing bike makes the bike more attractive to use, either reducing the effort required to ride – arrive at the office less sweaty, or helping with the load returning from the shops. Giving a new lease of life to an existing bike is a great option for many looking to electrify their personal transport. The resulting converted bike is likely to be lighter and cheaper than a full new E-Bike.
