E-bikes could account for as much as 25-30% of the bicycle market in 2026

“It is estimated that currently, the share of electric bikes in total bike sales in Poland oscillates around 3-5%. But by 2026 it should increase even ten times, to 25-30% of the market. And this is not much anyway, because in the Czech Republic, for example, every second bike sold today is electric,” TrybEco owner and founder Tomasz Przygucki said in an interview with ISBnews.
According to him, the trend will continue and eventually across Europe e-bikes will become the standard, while traditional bikes will find a niche in the market.
“Recent studies show that the use of e-bikes does not reduce cardio effects at all compared to traditional bikes, instead it is much gentler on the joints. In addition, the average user is able to move an average of 5-10 km/h faster and ride 30-50% more when using an e-bike. This will naturally increase their popularity,” added the owner of TrybEco.
In his opinion, this trend is more stable in Western Europe, where an expense of 1,000 euros can already have the character of a spontaneous purchase, while in Poland a bicycle with a price within the range of 4-5 thousand zlotys is still seen as a luxury good.
