Market Growth Factors

Latin American cities experience urban air pollution because greenhouse gas emissions increase so electric mobility can solve the problem. E-bikes have zero exhaust emissions for a considerable reduction to urban air pollution. Governments and green groups promote e-bikes to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and pollution-related diseases. The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and IDB Invest, a multilateral development bank, provided USD 23 Million to Tembici for expanding its electric bike-sharing business in emerging markets because of climate and public health efficacy.

Government policy affects e-bike adoption in several Latin American nations, e.g. with tax breaks, purchase subventions and business investment in bike lanes and charging infrastructure. E-bikes are becoming cheaper for low-income and younger riders to buy in order to affect urban transport. Entities share e-bikes through public-private partners, like Mexico City (MASA's Ecobici has over 6000 bikes). Awareness campaigns highlight environmental and economic advantages from e-bikes, so more people adopt them.

High urbanization and shared mobility adoption rates are driving demand, with Transport reform advancing in Bogota, Mexico City, and Curitiba. 45% of residents throughout Curitiba exist within the reach of the city's BRT system. Additionally, health and wellness trends favoring e-bikes will help continue driving growth through the e-bike market as people increasingly demand convenient, affordable, and eco-friendly urban transport.
