Electric bicycles and scooters in the U.S. is increasing by 50% year on year. China has electric bike sales of 25 million electric bikes (called ‘ebikes’) on the road already.
Many electric scooters can hit top speeds of 60 MPH and can go for 90 miles before needing a recharge. A typical electric bike runs between $1,000 and $3,000. An electric scooter will run closer to $3,000 or $4,000. Hybrid bikes and scooters are also available. Unlike hybrid cars, there is no regenerative braking, but the hybrid scooters are so lightweight that they don’t need constant on the road recharging.
