United Kingdom E-bike Market: Definition/ Overview

An e-bike, often known as an electric bicycle, is a modern means of transportation that combines classic bicycle components with an electric motor system that assists with pedaling. These bikes have a battery-powered motor that delivers propulsion via pedal assistance (the motor engages while pedaling) or throttle control (the motor can be triggered without pedaling). E-bikes are available in a variety of forms, including urban commuter, mountain, cargo, and folding designs, giving riders the ability to handle greater distances, hills, and headwinds with less physical exertion while still providing the health and environmental benefits of traditional cycling.

The UK e-bike market will add over USD 429M by 2029, driven by health-focused commuting, urban eco-mobility, and government cycling incentives.

The European e-bike market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing environmental concerns, rising fuel costs, and the expanding popularity of cycling as a sustainable mode of transportation. The market, segmented by propulsion type (pedal-assisted, speed pedelec, throttle-assisted), application (cargo/utility, city/urban, trekking), and battery type (lead-acid, lithium-ion), shows significant potential across various European nations. Germany, the United Kingdom, and France are currently leading the market, benefiting from well-established cycling infrastructure and supportive government policies promoting eco-friendly transportation. The strong CAGR (let's assume a conservative 8% based on industry trends) indicates sustained market expansion over the forecast period (2025-2033). Lithium-ion batteries dominate the market due to their superior performance and longer lifespan, further fueling growth. However, challenges remain, including the relatively high initial cost of e-bikes compared to traditional bicycles and concerns about battery disposal and recycling. Nonetheless, the ongoing development of more affordable models, improved battery technology, and expanding charging infrastructure are expected to mitigate these limitations and sustain market momentum. Key players like Accell Group, Giant Manufacturing, and Trek Bicycle are strategically positioning themselves to capitalize on this burgeoning market through product innovation and expansion into new segments. The market's growth is also supported by increasing awareness of health benefits associated with cycling and the integration of e-bikes into public transportation systems. Technological advancements in e-bike manufacturing, such as lighter weight frames and improved motor technology, are further enhancing consumer appeal. The increasing availability of e-bike financing options and leasing programs is making ownership more accessible, especially for price-sensitive consumers. Furthermore, government initiatives promoting the use of e-bikes through subsidies and tax incentives are accelerating market penetration. While the market faces certain restraints, such as supply chain disruptions and potential competition from other forms of micromobility (e-scooters), the overall outlook for the European e-bike market remains exceptionally positive, with consistent growth projected throughout the forecast period. The market's strength lies in its multifaceted appeal: environmental consciousness, personal health, convenience, and economic benefits all converge to create a robust and expanding consumer base.

Bicycle retailers’ revenue is expected to decline at a compound annual rate of 3.7% over the five years through 2024-25 to £1.6 billion. The cycling market has been extremely volatile over the past few years, driven by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a hike in the number of people taking up cycling for exercise and the fall off due to the cost-of-living crisis. After COVID-19 first hit, 2020-21 was marked by lockdowns and social restriction; sales experienced a dip, then bounced back briefly in 2021-22 as cycling became more popular after the initial lockdown period ended. This was followed by consecutive revenue slumps in the two years through 2023-24 as the cost-of-living crisis changed consumer spending habits. Bike stores face intense competition from sporting goods retailers, online and offline mass merchandisers (like Amazon and Argos) and public bike-sharing schemes, which pose a substantial threat to sales in urban areas. In 2023-24, revenue dropped by 6% as competitive pressures held back sales and cost-of-living pressures, encouraging consumers to cut back on discretionary items, including bicycles. High inflation since 2022-23 also damaged bike retailers’ profit; however, these pressures have started to ease. In 2024-25, household disposable incomes are slated to climb, which, combined with rising health consciousness, is set to drive revenue up by an estimated 5.8%. External competition poses a formidable challenge to bike retailers' future expansion. However, government initiatives promoting active and eco-friendly lifestyles look set to boost sales. Moreover, as people prioritise mental and physical health, lifestyle changes should drive more people to get back on their bikes, especially with more of the mindful and wellness-centric Gen Z entering the workforce and gaining significant spending power. E-bikes are also swiftly gaining popularity among individuals and look set for strong future growth. Potential legislation changes to double the power of e-bikes to 500 watts and introduce throttle power could increase the popularity of these products moving forward. Revenue is expected to edge upwards at a compound annual rate of 0.7% over the five years through 2029-30 to £1.7 billion.

The average price of an electric bike sold in the United Kingdom reached its peak in 2023, when the average cost stood at over ***** pounds per bike. The average cost of an e-bike is projected to fall to just under ***** pounds in 2024 and is forecast to keep falling. Despite the decline in average cost, the overall market value is projected to continue growing.
