Electric cycles are getting popular in several European countries. The popularity of e-cycles had been on the rise for several years and in many European countries - nearly one million units were sold in the first six months of 2019 in Germany. But the onset of the pandemic and the consequent lockdowns have only acted as catalysts. The exponential growth in the sales of the electrically driven cycles is now set to go past sales of cars with conventional internal combustion engines.

A report in Electrek citing projects made by the Confederation of the European Bicycle Industry (CONEBI) highlights that the e-cycle market in EU will rise to around seven million by 2025. 

The increases in new car registrations have been significantly slower even if the figure of 15.5 million in all of 2019 is still ahead of e-cycles. This growth is especially slower when compared to growth in e-cycle sales in some countries which report it at up to 40% each year.
