Global Electric Kick Scooter Market
The electric kick scooter market size is witnessing rapid revenue growth across the globe. Governments' targets to introduce e-mobility and the wide uptake of these compact, lightweight vehicles are key driving forces.
Citing the increasing global pressure to reduce carbon footprints, MRFR expects the global electric kick scooter market valuation to escalate to USD 5.30 BN by 2030, growing at an 11.01% CAGR from 2022 to 2030.
Electric scooters are garnering huge popularity, with urbanities increasingly preferring them for short-distance commutes or neighborhood mobility. With a solid metal-alloy body, functional suspension mechanism, and 25 kmph top speed with around 20kms range, e-kick scooters have become an easily scalable clean mobility option. With recent technological advances, electric kick scooters have become outlandishly high-tech.
Due to their simplistic design, electric kick scooters offer the benefit of low maintenance costs. Also, they don't need the replacement of spark plugs and oil filters. Switching from ICE vehicles to e-kick scooters enables tackling the largest source of air pollution, reducing congestion by at least 40%. Resultantly, governments in countries across the globe have realized the potential that electric vehicles hold.
E-kick scooters have evolved from mere modes of personal mobility to futuristic devices equipped with Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, navigation, over-the-air updates, and so on. Although in its nascent stage, the e-kick scooter market is gaining vast attention. Leading manufacturers of electric kick scooters, like Luup Inc. (Japan), are also providing electric kick scooter sharing services in and around major cities.
