Folding bikes are gaining popularity among the people who are shifting towards healthy and eco-friendly furniture solutions in the recent years. A folding bike enables the user to fold a bicycle into a compact form for proper transportation and storage. The first advantage offered by folding bicycles is intermodality. Unlike conventional bicycles, folding can be combined much more easily with other means of transport. Besides, folding bikes have small wheel, low frame, and adjustable handlebars. Most models are designed primarily for urban use. Also, these folding bikes can be conveniently transported through passenger vehicle.
The global folding bikes market size is predicted to reach over USD 1,360.9 million by 2028. This can be ascribed to the increasing awareness about health and growing concerns about global pollution. Besides, the folding bikes can be taken anywhere as they are light in weight and the folding nature of these bikes helps to lower the space of the bikes while traveling to the farther places as the space needed to carry is very less, which is also the key factor driving the market growth for car subscription.
However, high cost of e-bikes is the only factor hampering the market growth. The cost of the battery and technology makes e-bikes costlier as compared to traditional bicycles or conventional scooters or motorcycles. Hence, consumers find conventional scooters or motorcycles superior in performance with same or less price. Furthermore, improvement in bicycling infrastructure & battery technology is likely to provide lucrative development opportunities for the car subscription market in the forthcoming years.
