Electric scooters and motorcycles are used for short-distance commuting within cities & towns and courier & e-commerce delivery applications. These vehicles have a smaller battery pack and a driving range of less than 100 Km per charge. These vehicles are lightweight and more efficient than conventional bikes and can maneuver easily through congested streets to serve the limited purpose of short-distance commuting.
The growth of this market is attributed to the emergence of electric-scooter-sharing fleets, the growing concerns over greenhouse gases and carbon emissions, and the emerging need for micromobility options for short distances. The availability of smart charging stations and the increasing usage of micromobility for logistics applications offer lucrative growth opportunities for this market.
However, the rising number of accidents and lack of clarity on operational guidelines for electric kick scooters are expected to restrain the growth of this market to a notable extent. Furthermore, the high costs of procuring electric two-wheelers and the increasing incidences of thefts and vandalism of e-bikes & e-scooters are some of the challenges expected to hinder this market's growth.
Impact of COVID-19 on the North America Electric Scooter Market
The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted several sectors, including the automotive sector, with major manufacturers shutting down their operations completely or operating at reduced capacities following the directives issued by their respective governments. The automotive industry was severely affected by the nationwide lockdowns and quarantines.
Furthermore, the uncertainty regarding the duration of the lockdowns and supply-chain disruptions made it more difficult for industry players to anticipate the recovery of the industry. This crisis caused structural shifts that had significant implications on the market.
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), the total number of e-scooter and bike-share systems and the number of cities served declined from 2019 to 2020. In the U.S., in August 2020, 145 e-scooter sharing schemes were serving 69 cities across the country. The number of e-scooter schemes increased through 2019, then declined almost 40% from 2019 to 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. In 2018, there were 82 e-scooter systems throughout the U.S., while in 2019, 115 systems were seen, and in 2020 only 69 remained. Many systems suspended operations, and few closed permanently in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Local travel preferences among the general population witnessed a drastic change due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a significant increase in the use of e-scooters. According to a U.S. micromobility company that rents e-scooters, the average trip distances have grown 26% since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, with rides in a few cities, such as Detroit, increasing by up to 60%. Similarly, some cities in the U.S. are also experiencing a shift in consumer use cases. For instance, in San Francisco, the lockdown caused an increase in e-scooter usage for traveling to the pharmacy and delivering food. Thus, such factors are expected to drive the growth of the electric scooters market in the coming years.
Growing Concerns Over Greenhouse Gas and Carbon Emissions
The greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide emissions in North America constitute over 80% of global emissions. The largest source of gas and overall greenhouse gas emissions is energy-related activities, including electric power generation, transportation, and industrial fuel use. The transportation sector is the second largest contributor to carbon dioxide emissions in North America. This sector and its associated carbon dioxide emissions have grown steadily during the past four decades. The most significant growth was witnessed in Mexico, the country most dependent on road transport.
The conversion of fossil fuels to clean energy is the single largest contributor to North American carbon dioxide emissions. In response to growing environmental concerns, the Federal government and ride-hailing companies are taking initiatives. For instance, in June 2021, the Monterey Bay Air Resources District of California approved the FY 2021-22 California Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) with new funding and incentive. According to CVRP, consumers can leverage incentives up to $2000 per vehicle type. This program grants incentives of $300 for electric motorcycles.
Several companies are increasing fleet size aiming for environmental contribution. For example, in 2017, Washington DC initially limited the number of e-scooters per operator to 400, but from the end of 2018, this rose to 600, and with the regulators’ approval, fleets expanded by 25% every day for three months.
In 2020, according to the micromobility policy, ride-sharing companies were allowed to operate with a maximum of 2500 scooters. In 2018, the Regulatory allowed five scooter companies to initially operate 350 e-scooters each over a trial period in Denver. In 2018, several companies started e-scooter operations without permission; hence the city passed laws requiring permits in San Francisco. The government incentives and support are expected to encourage several companies to increase their fleet size to potentially curb rising environmental concerns.
