Electric Scooters and Motorcycles have a Lot of Potential

It doesn’t matter, if you are a vehicle enthusiast or not, you will surely be aware of the fact that, slowly but surely, we are entering into the age of electric vehicles. Seeing electric scooters and motorcycles on the road is becoming a common sight these days. 

There are electric cars on the road too, but e-scooters and motorcycles outnumber cars easily.  In this blog, we will read about some of the reasons why e-scooters and motorcycles are getting more popular among the people. 

OEMs Seeing Huge Potential

One of the main reasons why e-scooters and motorcycles are taking giant steps toward popularity among common folks is the increasing focus of the OEMs toward the manufacturing of the electric vehicles. 

Subsidies and Grants by the Government

With the increasing problem of air pollution globally, governments have started to dole out their support for the adoption of electric vehicles. This support is in the form of grants and subsidies, for the people who wish to choose electric vehicles over the conventional fuel-powered vehicles.

Affordable for Most People

It might come into the minds of some people, why electric scooters and motorcycles grab the attention of more people than the cars. The answer to this is a no-brainer. 

There is no doubt that cars are much more comfortable than a scooter or a bike but the fact of the matter is that, there is a lot of difference in the price of a two-wheeler and a four-wheeler.

Finding Your Way Out of Traffic Jams

Traffic jams are also a big issue on the roads of especially big cities and towns, and a lot of time of the people are wasted in these jams. When there is a lot of crowding on the roads, it can sometimes be exceedingly difficult to find a way out of these jams, if you are driving a car. 

It is because of all these reasons and many others, the demand for electric scooter and motorcycles will experience a substantial growth, and the total value will reach to 87,139 million by the ned of this decade.

Electric Rickshaws Apart from Being Environment Friendly Provides Employment Opportunities

Talking about the emergence of e-rickshaws in India, they first hurled on the Indian roads, over a decade ago in 2011. Since then, there has only been an increase in the number of e-rickshaws on Indian roads. 

The popularity of these vehicles has increased immensely all over India, thanks to their ability to carry 4-5 passengers comfortably over a short distance, rather economically, and the most notable factor is that, all this is done without any emissions.

 With no costly or emitting fuels used and these rickshaws being powered by electricity, they in a way are much more economical then the CNG powered auto-rickshaws.

In cities like Delhi, these have emerged as a livelihood source for people, and a sustainable and economical commute for commuters.

 With all the factors like being economical, contributing no pollution, easy and comfortable ride, and also providing an earning potential, the present of e-rickshaws looks rather secure.

 With present looking secure, let’s find out something about the future of these modes of communication in India.

Though, with the expansion of battery swapping networks, it is becoming more and more possible for e-rickshaw drivers to drive to the nearest swapping station, get the exhausted battery replaced with a charged one, and get back on track without wasting too much time, and losing the opportunities to earn. 

The Union government is soon going to announce a National Battery Swapping Policy, giving more and more weightage to the adoption of not only these battery- driven rickshaws but the entire fleet of electric vehicles across the nation. 

Taking all these factors into consideration, and the increasing concerns raised by environmental organizations around the world regarding the problem of emissions, and all the countries trying to mitigate it at their level, it is only fair to say that the future of e-rickshaws in India looks a promising prospect to say the least.

We are not saying this vaguely or without any base, as per the current market scenario and dynamics, with a growth rate of 6.6%, the total demand for e-rickshaws in India will reach a value of USD 456.2 million by the end of this decade.
