COVID-19 Impact Analysis:
The outbreak of COVID-19 caused huge impacts on the global economy, owing to total lockdown and temporary shutdown of industries across the world. Public transport tends to contain many people in one shared space, which boosts the spread of the coronavirus disease. As people reassess ground transportation options in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, many are choosing isolated modes such as driving or biking over public transportation or ride-sharing. People are choosing electric kick scooter services to cover medium to short distances in view of health safety concerns during the outbreak.
Deployment of kick scooters for shared mobility services
In comparison with other types of electric vehicles used for shared mobility services, electric kick scooters can be more hyper-localized and can be leveraged to solve the problem of last-mile connectivity. In addition, as a means of shared mobility, these electric kick scooters are compact, easier to operate, and do not require any physical exertion. In addition, several leading companies have expanded their electric kick scooter sharing services to different locations and geographies. For instance, Bird and Lime, two American electrical scooter companies, launched dock-less eclectic kick scooters in 2017. Within a year, Bird reached 100 cities and a valuation of $2 billion. In the same year, Lime offered more than 11.5 million rides. Also, in 2018, Muving SL, a Spanish electric scooter sharing company, launched its service in Atlanta, the U.S. Moreover, several leading ride-hailing and automotive companies are focusing on acquiring electric two-wheeler sharing companies so as to increase their service offerings. In November 2018, Ford Motor Company acquired Spin, an electric kick scooter startup, for around $40 million. Furthermore, increase in focus on environment-friendliness and the need for effective, low-cost transportation have contributed to surge in demand for electric kick scooters in shared mobility services. Thus, the deployment of electric kick scooters in shared mobility services drives the market growth.
Positive government regulations to encourage the use of electric kick scooters
Governments of various countries are taking initiatives to reduce the carbon footprints by encouraging the use of electric vehicles including electric bikes, electric kick scooters, and electric bicycles, owing to increase in awareness toward the hazardous effects of using vehicles running on fossil fuels. Moreover, governments are allowing usage of kick scooter on public or defined streets, which are encouraging individuals to opt for e-kick scooter as a key mode of commute. For instance, as of February 2021, Irish Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan, legalized the use of electric kick scooters on public roads of Ireland without requiring tax, insurance or driving license. Furthermore, to encourage the use of these environment-friendly vehicles, governments around the world are supporting for the purchase of electric mobility, in terms of tax credits and incentives. For instance, in June 2019, the Indian Government announced a plan to lower the goods & service tax (GST) on e-vehicles from 12% to 5% for faster adoption of electric vehicles.
By Battery Type
Others is projected as the most lucrative segments
High maintenance as well as the manufacturing cost
The cost of the battery and technology makes e-kick scooters costlier as compared to traditional bicycles, conventional scooters, or motorcycles. Hence, consumers find conventional scooters or motorcycles superior in performance with same or less price. Moreover, the use of drive mechanism of motor incurs maximum manufacturing cost, thereby restraining the growth of the market. Furthermore, high battery pack replacement cost, owing to the short life of the batteries and high electric component maintenance cost increases the overall maintenance cost of the electric kick scooters. Hence, upsurge in adoption of e-kick scooters in other than developed countries such as China and the U.S., are limited by high costs. Therefore, high maintenance as well as the manufacturing cost of e-kick scooters is a major factor that restrains the growth of the market.
By Voltage
More than 50V is projected as the most lucrative segments
Rapid technological advancements in e-kick scooters industry
Leading vendors in electric kick scooter industry are primarily focusing on enhancement of durability, performance, and range of e-kick scooter. In addition, manufacturers also focusing on implementing advanced technologies such as swappable battery technology, GPS, swappable battery technology, swappable battery technology, and others. Therefore, vendors are launching technologically-advanced vehicles taking into consideration design/style and range & speed specifications. For instance, in August 2020, a leading European e-scooter company TIER, has unveiled its most advanced scooter with user swappable batteries, a built-in helmet and indicator lights. This e-kick scooter enables users to extend range of scooter by swapping out batteries within 3-5 minute at TIER charging stations. Moreover, there has been a surge in trend among manufacturers to develop solar power and self-balancing electric scooter, which are expected to witness a positive growth opportunity during the forecast period.
