"The Rise of Electric Bikes: A Threat to German Auto Dominance"

Germany is expected to reach a milestone this year as electric bikes are set to outsell pedal bicycles for the first time. E-bikes have already gained significant popularity in Germany, with surveys showing twice the adoption compared to electric cars. Similar trends are seen in other European countries, with analysts predicting that e-bikes could outnumber all cars by the end of the decade. The European e-bike market is projected to grow to around 7 million units by 2025, with some experts predicting 10 million e-bike sales per year by that time. The shift away from private car ownership could further accelerate the rise of e-bikes.
