PROPULSION SEGMENT MARKET OVERVIEW

• Italy is one of the leading regions of the European e-bike market. Some major factors driving sales in the Italian e-bike market are innovative product features, fully integrated batteries and drives, appealing designs, and high-quality materials.
• Players like VW and Gazelle unveiled new e-cargo bikes at the 2018 IAA (Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung) Commercial Vehicles exhibition in Hannover, Italy, to address the demand from the logistics industry. One of Pon Bike Group's companies, Gazelle, collaborated with Aluca and DOCKR (mobility as a services (MaaS) start-up) to produce the Gazell D10 cargo e-bike. The new cargo e-bike, known as the light electrical freight transporter (LEFT), has a capacity of 100 kilograms and can carry up to two conventional carriage boxes with Euro Pallet dimensions (1,200*800*1,100 millimeters).
• The market is also being driven by the growing awareness of the need to take action to cut back on personal vehicle usage, switch to zero-emission cars, and decarbonize the freight industry and public transportation. Italy's government and citizens are expected to switch to electric vehicles as gasoline prices increase and people become more environmentally conscious. The speed pedelec will soon overtake the pedal-assisted bicycle as the most practical mode of transportation, even if it is best for shorter trips. Speed pedelecs will likely become more popular as power and speed capabilities advance. Owing to these factors, the Italian e-bike market is expected to grow over the forecast period.

Italy E-bike Market Trends

Italy demonstrates a consistent and robust growth in E-Bike adoption rates, indicating an expanding market and consumer base.

• The increase in interest in bicycles as an ideal mode of exercise, high traffic congestion on the roads of Italy during peak hours, and increasing government practices to promote e-bicycles due to environmental concerns are improving the adoption of e-bicycles in the country. Fewer fuel and maintenance costs increased the e-bicycle adoption rate by 1.70% in 2019.
• The growth in COVID-19 cases in 2020 positively impacted the Italian e-bike market. People feared taking public transport and rental services due to the fear of contracting the virus, which hiked the demand for personal vehicles such as e-bicycles. An increase in the sales of e-bikes among the people of Italy further accelerated the adoption rate of e-bikes by around 2.40% in 2020.
• Declining COVID-19 cases led to the relaxation of restrictions and lockdowns and the resumption of business operations and offices, which increased the adoption of e-bikes at the end of 2021, by 14.90%, compared to 13.90% in 2020. The introduction of new e-bikes with advanced features such as a long battery range, good speed limits, and fast charging features have highly encouraged consumers to invest in e-bikes. As a result, the country is expected to witness a growth in the adoption rate of e-bikes, by more than 30%, during the forecast period.
