Compared with China, Japan, Germany and other European countries developed electric bicycles earlier abroad, and the United States also developed rapidly in recent years. The main function of foreign electric vehicles is to replace walking and fitness tools, which can be used in large parking lots, supermarkets and tourist areas. Therefore, in general, the global market for electric bicycles is still large.
Japan is the country with the earliest development of electric bicycles. It has a considerable scale in both production and market. Compared with bicycles, the advantages of labor-saving climbing and convenient walkways are the main motivation for consumers to buy; Electric bicycles are also regarded as luxury goods in Japan, and the price is relatively expensive. Japanese manufacturers have been developing towards low price and lightweight, and pay attention to the special design of models and accessories for different buyers; The demand for electric bicycles in Japan continues to expand.
The sales channels of electric bicycles in the United States are mainly divided into large retailers and independent stores. Americans rely on cars for daily travel, and urban planning and transportation equipment are mostly designed for driving. Therefore, to a large extent, the purpose of buying electric bicycles is to entertainment and to show their environmental protection attitude towards life. However, electric bicycles have more development prospects in densely populated areas with crowded roads. Some cities still use electric bicycles to deliver meals, and some colleges and universities also publish electric bicycle advertisements to give preferential treatment to students. The United States also advocates environmental travel and gradually turns to electric bicycles in short distance travel and commuting.
Europe is the most mature in the electric bicycle market. The largest markets are Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, France and the United Kingdom. It may provide more diversified choices with the development of "sporty" and "young" design of electric bicycle products; Under the influence of high oil prices and rising awareness of environmental protection, sales will also continue to grow and the prospect is optimistic.
Electric bicycle is one of the most innovative products with Chinese characteristics since the reform and opening up. It is a national industry with green environmental protection and highly independent property rights. Up to now, electric bicycle has gradually become an important means of transportation in China; It has become a large-scale manufacturing industry in the field of transportation manufacturing in China, and it is also developing continuously.
Electric bicycles continue to optimize and develop towards comprehensive technology development capacity, constantly launch new products with high added value, and win the favor of consumers through comprehensive technology.
