People in cities all around the world have been seeing a new phenomenon on their streets: electric bicycles, or e-bikes. Whether branded as part of a larger bikeshare program or a personal tool, the popularity of e-bikes was jump started over the past few years by the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The global e-bike market has now been valued at more than $40 billion USD in 2023, and is expected to grow even more as more people, especially urban residents, recognize their potential for daily travel, goods and services delivery, and leisure.
