Government Mandates to Promote the Usage of Electric Bicycles
Governments worldwide are taking steps to reduce carbon footprints by encouraging electric bikes, electric vehicles, and bicycles as people become more aware of the dangers of driving that run on fossil fuels. Furthermore, governments are constructing bicycle-friendly streets, which encourage people to use bicycles as a primary mode of transportation. Electric bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles have received significant attention from various governments as reliable and efficient light motor vehicles (LMVs) that aid in carbon reduction.
Furthermore, to encourage the use of these environmentally-friendly vehicles, governments worldwide are providing tax breaks and incentives on electric vehicles. For example, in June 2019, the Indian government announced a plan to reduce the goods and services tax (GST) on e-vehicles from 12% to 5% to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles.
Environmental Concerns Drive Market Growth
The rise in global carbon emissions caused by fuel combustion has been a source of concern for governments and environmentalists over the last few decades. It, in turn, increases demand for electric vehicles worldwide, contributing to the market's growth. Because of our increasingly hectic lifestyles and the necessity of commuting daily, owning a vehicle has become almost essential, as public transportation is frequently unreliable. E-bicycles are the best solution to this problem because they are environmentally friendly and solve the daily travel dilemma. As a result, the demand for e-bicycles is increasing.
Daily Commuters Increasingly Employing Electric Bicycles
Electric bicycles are being used by an increasing number of commuters daily. Electric bicycles provide significant health benefits and aid in physical activity. According to a widely cited 2017 British Medical Journal (BMJ) study, "cycle commuters and mixed-mode commuting with a cycling component were both associated with a statistically significant lower risk of all-cause mortality compared with non-active commuters."
Electric bikes are less strenuous to ride than traditional bicycles, but they still encourage physical activity, especially when compared to driving or taking the bus to work. Furthermore, the addition of pedal assistance may increase a commuter's likelihood of leaving the car at home and biking to work.
