Inclination toward crank motor in electric bicycles

Electric bicycles are fitted with crank motors rather than hub motors due to their higher performance capacity and suitability for uphill rides. A crank motor is placed in the middle of the bicycle frame and normally is in the bottom brackets. With the help of the rear wheel gears, this motor drives the bicycle through the chain. As it increases the torque by use of the wheel cassette, it is an efficient system, which allows the bicycle to climb up hills or move on rough roads.

According to Amey Vikram, a lead analyst at Technavio for automotive components “Crank motors are especially designed to be driven at high speeds on flat roads and for climbing steep hills. As no motor is attached to the wheel the crank motor can be easily replaced, thereby making it more convenient for the user.”

DIY kits

There is a wide range of consumer DIY products. DIY electric bicycle kit, which contains instructions on the basics of installing, using, and customizing the kit. As it comes in a dismantled form, the consumer must assemble his/her own electric bicycle or convert a conventional bicycle into an electric bicycle. As it helps in saving expenses, this trend is becoming increasingly popular. Consumers with different budget options can avail different kits, which fulfill his/her needs, as several mid drive kits are available in the market. Companies such as BAFANG and GNGelectric provide such kits.

Government initiatives

To encourage growth, various countries have passed laws regarding electric bicycles. An electric bicycle is a green technology vehicle that helps reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. Along with this, it also helps in reducing noise pollution and other types of environmental pollution.

“Even though governments encourage the adoption of electric bicycles of all categories, there is greater emphasis on the adoption of electric bicycles with lead-acid batteries as they are recyclable. Hence, these initiatives are expected to drive the growth of the global bicycle motors market,” says Amey.
