Market Analysis and Insights: U.S. E-bike Hub Motor Market
U.S. e-bike hub motor market is expected to gain market growth in the forecast period of 2021 to 2030. Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the market is growing with the CAGR of 6.7% in the forecast period of 2021 to 2030 and expected to reach USD 108.43 million by 2030. Increasing traffic bottleneck in developing and developed cities is one of the prominent factors that are driving the growth of the market.
A hub motor is referred to an electric motor which is installed in the hub of the wheel. In this, instead of integrating the motors into the bicycle drivetrain, the hub motors are completely separate where electricity is run through copper wires for creating electromagnets thus creating a force and rotating the hub backward and forward.
Hub motors are mostly used in e-bikes which are used for leisure purposes, for mountaineering hikes, for casual cruising as well as for racing events. Mid-drive hub motor is widely used since it offers best of both front and back hub motors.
Government initiatives to reduce emission level are driving the market growth. The competition in the market is getting severe as market players are expanding their presence, service and support for Chinese market. For instance,

U.S. E-bike Hub Motor Market Scope and Market Size
E-bike hub motor market is segmented on the basis of hub motor location, motor type, volt range, weight, battery type, class, sales channel and application/vehicle type. The growth among segments helps you analyse niche pockets of growth and strategies to approach the market and determine your core application areas and the difference in your target markets.
- On the basis of hub motor location, the e-bike hub motor market has been segmented into mid/centre hub motor, rear hub motor and front hub motor. In 2021, mid/centre hub motor accounted for largest market share in hub motor location segment and is expected to grow at highest CAGR as it is the most suited design for pedelec e-bike and pedal assisted e bikes which are widely consumed worldwide. Also, due to its better weight distribution mid drive hub motor based e bikes are preferred.
- On the basis of motor type, the e-bike hub motor market has been segmented into internally geared and direct drive hub motor. In 2021, internally geared accounted for largest market share in motor type segment and is expected to grow at highest CAGR owing to its smooth transition features along with less drag and low weight of motor.
- On the basis of volt range, the e-bike hub motor market has been segmented into more than 36 volt and less than 36 volt. In 2021, more than 36 volt accounted for largest market share in volt range segment and is expected to grow at highest CAGR as most of the e-bike operate on 36V and above due to its low cost high power ratio.
- On the basis of weight, the e-bike hub motor market has been segmented into more than 7 pounds and less than 7 pounds. In 2021, more than 7 pounds accounted for largest market share in weight segment and is expected to grow at highest as more of the motors weigh above 7 pounds. Further, the increasing weight of batteries due to requirement of higher wattage increases the weight of motor.
- On the basis of battery type, the e-bike hub motor market has been segmented into lithium-ion, lithium-ion polymer, nickel metal hydride, lead acid, sealed lead acid and others. In 2021, lithium-ion accounted for largest market share in battery type segment due to its less maintenance and longer durability. However, lithium ion polymer is expected to grow at highest CAGR as it is advanced version of lithium ion batteries with better durability
- On the basis of class type, the e-bike hub motor market has been segmented into class I (pedal assist/pedelec), class II (throttle) and class III (speed pedelec). In 2021, class I (pedal assist/pedelec) accounted for largest market share in class type segment and is expected to grow at highest CAGR as it gives features of cycling as well electric assistance for longer cruise.
- On the basis of sales channel, the e-bike hub motor market has been segmented into OEM and aftermarket. In 2021, OEM accounted for largest market share in sales channel segment and is expected to grow at highest CAGR considering aftermarket sales of e bike motors are rare occasion and demand for after sale of such motors is less.
- On the basis of application/vehicle, the e-bike hub motor market has been segmented into city/urban, cruise, mountain/trekking bikes, racing, cargo and others. In 2021, city/urban accounted for largest market share in application/vehicle segment and is expected to grow at highest CAGR as most of the e bikes purchased are used in urban areas for cost effective and eco-friendly commuting for short distances, for instance commuting to workplace or office.
