Germany led European e-bike sales with 2.2 million units sold in 2022, largely because of its strong cycling infrastructure, which includes multiple cycle pathways, rental facilities, and parking spaces. German manufacturers, who are in the lead in e-bike technology, also contribute by producing high-quality, reliable, and technologically advanced e-bikes, boosting consumer confidence and trust. Some German cities also enhance e-bike adoption by offering subsidies and tax incentives for purchasers. In 2023, e-bikes continued to outpace mechanical bike sales in Germany, with 2.1 million e-bikes sold, representing 53% of the market, versus 1.9 million for regular bikes. However, despite the reported growth, e-bike sales in Germany declined in 2023 compared to 2022, and regular bike sales dropped even more significantly. This trend highlights a broader decrease in bike sales following the increase during the COVID-19 pandemic.
