BERLIN, Germany - Massive discounting campaigns to reduce inventory levels in the market pushed down the average e-bike retail price and market value in Germany last year. While sales volume remained relatively stable, the revenue from bicycles and e-bikes totalled €6.33 billion, down 10.1% from €7.06 billion in 2023. This is still significantly higher than the sales value of €4 billion in 2019.

AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands - E-bikes continue to be the driving force for the Dutch market. The total e-bike market volume ended at 409,467 units, representing a market share of 47.7%. The total number of bicycles and e-bikes combined ended at 858,126, down from 919,101 in 2023. This year, the national industry association RAI Vereniging included fatbike sales for the first time in their annual report which has resulted in a major shift in the statistics.

AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands - The Dutch market saw a slight decrease of 6% from 833,366 units in 2022 to 804,101 units last year. Thanks to a higher average retail price the revenue was down only 3.7% from 2022 to €1.4 billion in 2023. According to Huub Lamers, chairman of the section bicycles at the industry organization RAI and COO at Pon.Bike, "in times of supply chain constraints, we lack the availability of high quality data. The information we share today is based on sell out data, but we only have estimates on the number of bicycles and e-bikes in the pipeline."

AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands - "The future of cycling is bright," said Huub Lamers, cycling section chairman of the RAI industry association announcing the 2022 e-bike and bicycle sales in the Netherlands. The average price per unit increased last year, but not all figures show a positive trend.

AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands - The much-discussed topic of supply chain constraints have had a direct impact on product availability. Due to the delivery problems, directly related to the corona pandemic, the e-bike and bicycle market in the Netherlands saw a record sales volume decline for 2021.

ZEIST, the Netherlands - Together with Switzerland, the Netherlands and Belgium were always regarded as an example for the potential of speed pedelecs. Slow sales were manifest in 2020 and the trend continued into 2021. Together with Switzerland, the Benelux countries are still the main markets for speed pedelecs.
