Impact of COVID-19 on the Asia-Pacific Electric Scooter Market

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected numerous branches of the economy, including significant effects on the urban transport industry. The pandemic severely impacted several sectors, including the automotive sector, with major manufacturers shutting down their operations completely or operating at reduced capacities following the directives issued by their respective governments.

However, the COVID-19 outbreak resulted in disrupted supply chains, reduced operations and limited workforces, and factory closures. This caused a severe decline in vehicle sales, especially in the electric vehicles segment. However, the electric scooters market is expected to recover quickly due to the strong market growth in China.

According to predictions, developed areas in China are poised to have a strong recovery. Aggressive government initiatives for stabilizing the automobile industry are anticipated as the key factor in triggering the adoption rate in the coming years. For instance, the Government of India announced an amendment to the FAME-II policy, in which electric two-wheeler makers can give a discount of almost 40% of their scooters or bike value.

Governments of Asian countries are planning to make bicycles a major part of transportation facilities. For instance, The Revitalization Council of Hachijo Island, in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan, started an electric bicycle rental service utilizing green energy. These electric bicycles use geothermal power and wind power generated by a windmill in the town hall and can run for about 15 kilometers on a single charge. The charging points for these electric bicycles are located at hot springs, supermarkets, and other locations, and their use is included in the ¥2,500 (about USD 30) daily rental fee.

Less than 3.6 kW of power is widely used in electric kick scooters. The large share of this segment is attributed to its potential to serve as the last mile conveyance for short distances eliminating the cost of fuel, maintenance, service, and other miscellaneous costs. The factors driving the less than 3.6 kW powered electric kick scooters are the rising deployment of kick scooters for shared mobility services, the growing popularity of electric vehicles, the growing awareness regarding the environmental advantages of electric kick scooters, and positive government regulations to encourage the use of electric kick scooters.

Based on battery technology, the lithium-ion battery segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the Asia-Pacific electric scooter market in 2022. The large share of this segment is attributed to the increasing usage of electric and hybrid electric vehicles and the rising adoption of battery technology in the renewable energy industry. However, the lithium-ion polymer (LiPo) battery segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on motor type, the hub motors segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the Asia-Pacific electric scooter market in 2022. The growth of this segment is attributed to high flexibility and the capability to run in all-wheel-drive, providing higher stability. A hub motor includes a wheel with a motor inside of it. There are two types of hub motors: geared hub motors with internal planetary gears to reduce the speed of a higher RPM motor and gearless hub motors, which have no gearing and directly connect the lower RPM motor stator’s axle to the bike. Furthermore, gearless hub motors have zero moving parts aside from their bearings, so there is nothing to wear out.

Based on charging type, the connector charging segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the Asia-Pacific electric scooters market in 2022. The growth of this segment is attributed to its potential to withstand range anxiety issues due to its faster charging platform.
