There has been an electric bike boom in Germany according to figures from the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis). In 2020 there were approximately 5.9 million electric bikes in private households, growing to 7.1 million in 2021 – a 20% increase. This means that roughly 13% of German households own at least one electric bicycle, whilst just under 3% have three or more.
Rising household income has helped increase the sales of both traditional and electric bicycles, corresponding to 79% of households in Germany owning at least one.
