Top 10: Electric Bikes

The market for electric bikes or " e-bikes " is growing incredibly quickly. According to Grand View Research, the global e-bike market size was estimated at US$69.73bn in 2025 and is projected to reach US$144.33bn by 2033.

This is down to more people considering the switch to micromobility, with electric bikes high on consumers' agenda. Analysis from McKinsey indicated that about 70% of global consumers are willing to use micromobility in the future, especially electric kickscooters and regular electric bicycles. 

60% of European and American cities are building new micromobility infrastructure and providing tax subsidies for micromobility products such as electric bicycles, according to an analysis from McKinsey. 

As more consumers switch to electric bikes and the infrastructure supporting them develops, EV Magazine has ranked the Top 10 electric bikes available, considering range, practicality and technical features.
