Global Electric Scooter Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2031

Electric Scooter Market Analysis and Size

The most important part of any electric two-wheeler is its battery. The performance, efficiency, and price of electric two-wheelers are dependent on the battery installed. Till 2020, most electric scooters and motorcycles were offered with lead-acid batteries. However, two-wheeler manufacturers are now focused on the development and installation of more advanced li-ion batteries in new electric scooters and motorcycles to overcome the disadvantages of lead-acid batteries. The economic growth and a rapidly growing population in India have made it imperative for the country to enhance its commuting media.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

E-scooter is a motorized scooter powered by an electric motor. Conventional scooters require gas or fuel to operate, whereas the EV does not require fuel. The motor and battery are linked in e-scooters, and the battery is charged by plugging into an electric charging station or a power source. The charged battery generates the motion to push the two-wheeler forward. These scooters are environment-friendly, fuel-efficient, battery-powered, and simple to use.

Global Electric Scooter Market Dynamics

Driver

• Implementation of Battery Swapping Technology

Battery swapping is a new technology that allows owner of electric vehicle to swap out their dying or dead battries with fully charged one. This development could completely transform the E2W market and improve the comfort and ease of long-distance driving for motorists. Automatic and manual battery switching are the two main methods that are used in battery swapping. . Furthermore, because battery-swapping stations are far less expensive to construct than conventional gas stations, they are more accessible to communities that might not otherwise have access to fuelling choices. This may have a significant impact, especially in rural areas and underdeveloped nations where EV use is growing. In addition to this, Government are making policies and investment for development of battart sanpping station. This is a major driver for the market.

Opportunity

• Use of loT and Smart Infrastructure

The increasing adoption of smartphones and connectivity solutions has inspired electric two-wheelers manufacturers to integrate smartphones with the electric two-wheelers and infrastructure instruments clusters for more enhanced operation. Smartphones can be easily connected Via wireless LAN (WLAN), USB, or Bluetooth. Most electric two-wheeler charging station manufacturers have been developing smart electric two-wheeler charging stations, which come with IoT-based feature for load management and smart connectivity. Home charging stations these days come with software for charging analysis of electric two-wheelers. This is creating new opportunities for the market.

Restraint/Challenge

• Lack of power output and limited range

The market for electric scooters and motorcycles is still in its early stages of development. Although manufacturers employ cutting-edge design and technology, these vehicles have not yet reached the efficiency and power levels of traditional two-wheelers. The majority of the electric bikes and scooters that have recently been released don't have the power output that customers want. Range limitation is another significant issue that is seen as a barrier in the market for electric scooters and motorcycles. The range that a completely charged battery can reach is considerably less than that of traditional two-wheelers. Most electric two- wheelers currently available have a range of up to 100-120 miles. Because of this, consumers are wary of buying electric two-wheelers, especially those who make frequent long distance trips.
