Canada E-bikes Market Size To Reach $2.14 Billion By 2030

Canada E-Bikes Market Growth & Trends

The Canada e-bikes market size is expected to reach USD 2.14 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 12.6% over the forecast period, according to a study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising popularity of e-bikes over smart cars & public transportation since COVID-19 pandemic, increasing gasoline prices, and growing availability of e-bikes across the country are some of the key factors driving the market growth. Moreover, the growing consumer inclination toward using e-bikes as an efficient and eco-friendly mode of commute and the increasing development of public charging infrastructure is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.

A popular trend of e-bikes rental & sharing services in the country is also anticipated to provide numerous growth opportunities for marketers in the coming years. Government incentives and tax rebate programs at provincial and municipal levels are further facilitating the uptake of e-bikes for commercial and personal use in Canada. These initiatives are aimed at reducing the cost of e-bikes to enhance affordability for target consumers and increase product sales, thereby committing to the government’s greener transportation targets. For instance, in July 2022, the Government of Prince Edward Island announced a point-of-sales rebate scheme for the purchase of e-bikes from a list of participating retailers generated by the government.

The rebate offered has a maximum cap of USD 387.8. Similarly, the Banff Residential e-Bike Rebate also offers a financial rebate of USD 551.5–USD 735.4 to Banff residents for purchasing e-bikes. The public sharing programs for e-bikes are another trend observed in Canada, which is contributing to the uptake of e-bikes for commercial use. The number of e-bikes sharing service providers has grown significantly since the post-COVID-19 era. Thus, the service providers have managed to engage a large chunk of the customer base actively using e-bike-sharing services. As per the September 2022 statistics, Vancouver’s bike sharing has engaged over 400,000 users.

Such programs are typically based on rental subscription or one-time payment models-based usage and duration of the e-bikes. The growing popularity of public sharing e-bikes programs is anticipated to create numerous opportunities in the e-bike sharing services market, thereby contributing to the growth in the sale of e-bikes. For instance, in September 2022, Mobi by Shaw Go launched its new fleet of 500 electric bikes and 50 charging stations, adding 2,500 e-bikes and 250 stations to their existing fleets of e-bikes for the public bike-share system in the city of Vancouver. The market is observed to be at an emerging stage anticipated to offer numerous growth opportunities in the e-bike sharing, electric vehicle batteries, and electric mobility markets.

Industry players resort to organic and inorganic growth strategies, such as product launches, mergers & acquisitions, and partnerships, to establish and strengthen their foothold in the market. For instance, in August 2022, ENVO Drive Systems, a British Columbia-based engineering company focused on micro electric mobility, announced the launch of an all-season e-bike named Flex for the U.S. and Canadian markets. These new e-bikes are equipped with adaptable add-on attachments and convertible features. The single frame and flexible structure assure to allow dealers to quadruple their inventory and offer consumers extensive customization with minimal inventory investment. All Flex products include multiple battery options with a range of up to 200 kilometers and a folding aluminum unisex step-through frame concept.

The increasing use of e-bikes for sports activities is forcing manufacturers to develop a product line for off-road biking, including high torque motors, longer-range battery life, power braking, and tougher frames for an enhanced driving experience. Similarly, last-mile delivery through e-bikes and intra-city travel is gaining traction in the country, which is prompting government and charging services providers to set up a robust network of charging stations to support the adoption of e-bikes for different applications, such as city travel and cargo carrying. The growing traction of the shared mobility rental e-bikes model presents the end-user segment with growth opportunities in the commercial segment.
