According to Ravi Bhandari, Research Head, 6wresearch, the folding electric scooter market has been rapidly expanding, driven by a growing demand for convenient and eco-friendly urban transportation solutions. These scooters cater to commuters seeking a compact and portable option for navigating congested city streets. The appeal of folding electric scooters lies in their ability to collapse into smaller sizes, making them easy to carry on public transit or store in tight spaces such as offices or apartments. As cities around the world continue to encourage sustainable commuting options, folding electric scooters are gaining popularity for their ability to reduce carbon footprints while offering a practical solution for the last-mile connectivity challenge.
The lithium-ion battery has emerged as a cornerstone in the electric scooter market, driving the adoption of sustainable urban transportation. Known for their high energy density, lithium-ion batteries offer longer range and faster charging times compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, making them an ideal power source for electric scooters. As consumer demand for efficient and eco-friendly transport solutions grows, manufacturers are increasingly focused on advancing lithium-ion technology to enhance performance and safety. Additionally, ongoing improvements in battery recycling and second-life applications are helping to address environmental concerns, further solidifying lithium-ion's role in the future of electric mobility.
the 36V power system has become a standard for many models due to its balance between performance and efficiency. A 36V battery allows scooters to achieve a reasonable range and speed, making them ideal for urban commutes. This voltage level supports moderate power output, ensuring a smooth ride while maintaining safety. As battery technology improves, 36V systems continue to increase in efficiency, offering longer lifespan and faster charging times. Consumers often find 36V scooters appealing not only for their power but also for their cost-effectiveness, making them a popular choice among both environmentally conscious riders and those seeking convenient personal transportation.
The APAC region (Asia-Pacific) is a pivotal player in the electric scooter market, significantly influencing global trends and growth trajectories. With countries like China and India at the forefront due to their high population density and growing urbanization, the demand for sustainable and efficient modes of transportation is on the rise. Governments across the region are implementing favorable policies and incentives to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, including scooters, as a means to combat pollution and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
