The electric bicycle is racing down the roads of the world and driving up profitability curves. The new lightweight and compact models appeal to tourists and visitor alike a destinations benefit from them.
Already offered for a few decades, the electric bicycle is well known to cyclists, but its weight and massive volume made it less desirable. A new technology propels the two-wheeled bicycle: the lithium battery. Lighter, more efficient and more durable than lead and nickel, charms manufacturers and revolutionizes the market.
There is then an outbreak of prototypes and this competition causes a drop in the price displayed. The demand of electric bicycles across the globe increased exponentially. The results reflect reality: there is a boom in sales in America, Europe and Asia Pacific. The popularity of the Electric bike has exploded since 2016. Selling like hot cakes. The pandemic is giving it a good push. In the months of March and April 2020 alone, at the height of the lockdown, sales increased 88% in the United States.
The Potential Of The Electric Bicycle In Tourism
Is the rise of the electric bicycle an opportunity for tourism in Australia. Several destinations are opting for this sustainable means of transport which promotes physical distancing and gives greater accessibility to the territories.
In Australia, its recently that Ebikes roams urban and rural settings. The Adventure Éco tourism already lists at least outdoor businesses that offer assistance Ebikes and Fat Tire Ebikes rental in the regions.
Bicycle professionals suggest that tourist companies and accommodations offer rental of electric bicycles. In the city or regional and national parks, they are excellent tools for renewing the cycle tourism offer. We can think of urban guided tours, or even trips of several days, even several weeks. Eco tourists love comfort and the outdoors, but also gives athletes the opportunity to surpass themselves, going faster and further. Several tour operators are taking advantage of this.
In the United States, managers of wide open spaces like the National Park Service have been working for more than a year to introduce the Electric bike to national parks. The possibility of reducing automobile congestion, increasing the air quality of the sites and reducing parking demand motivates the reception of this silent vehicle. Adventure companies already offer more tours by electric bicycle combined with outdoor activities through the majestic landscapes of the protected territories. These adventures, which seem less demanding than traditional cycling trips, attract cycling newbies, families and active retirees.
In Australia, in the mountainous territories Accommodations that offers Bike Tourism offers to get on an electric bike for a microbrewery tour that includes an overnight stay under the stars.
For regions with great unevenness such as The outback or great outdoors, electric assistance pushes the limits of distance and time travel. Combine powered cycling and sailing to reinvent mobility without a gasoline engine. Stays vary from a few nights to several weeks.
A few factors indicate that the tourism industry could benefit from the motorized bicycle. Among Australian who had done an outdoor activity, road cycling was the most popular leisure activity. The main reason that demotivates 30% of cyclists to travel by bike (including at least one night) remains the physical requirement it requires. Offering the comfort of electric assistance could alleviate the pain of effort. Some 58% of respondents indicated that the possibility of renting equipment encouraged them to "engage in activities in nature".
Some Challenges To Overcome
Although the tourist world acclaims it for its many virtues, the electric bicycle invites itself on already occupied routes. Faster than the traditional bicycle, but slower than the car, its place must harmonize with the car and bicycle fleets. Ebike use on non-motorized bicycle trails is approved by the law. Even if it remains controversial by nature conservation networks and hunting communities, the growing industry is convincing and is pushing the adoption of this new measure. Class 1 to 3 electric bikes can be found on the trails normally reserved for mountain bikes, on condition that they remain on assistance only.
The electric bicycle is the game changer and its recent gain in popularity represents an opportunity to develop the sustainable tourism offer and become an interesting solution to discover cities, villages and parks in a different way. Will you be able to take advantage of it?
