Upgraded Electric

Kits for converting bicycles to e-bikes make upgrading accessible

Implications - Cycling in urban areas has skyrocketed, but as commuters seek a quicker method to get around, kits for converting regular bikes to scooters are on the rise. Offering an enhanced level of customization, the kits allow bikes to be augmented while also creating a cost-effective means to upgrade.
Trend Themes
1. E-bike Conversion Kits - Electric bike conversion kits are on the rise as consumers seek cost-effective and versatile solutions to upgrade their regular bicycles.
2. Structurally Versatile Bicycles - Structurally swappable bicycles are gaining popularity as consumers seek more customized options for their bicycles, including the swapping of different bike parts.
3. E-bike Conversion Accessories - E-bike conversion accessories are becoming more popular as they allow consumers to add electric power to their existing bicycles without having to purchase a new e-bike.
Industry Implications
1. Electric Bikes - The electric bike industry can tap into the trend of e-bike conversion kits by offering more of these kits themselves, or by incorporating aspects of them into their own products for greater versatility and customization.
2. Bicycle Accessories - The bicycle accessory industry can offer more structurally swappable bicycles and customizable accessories, allowing consumers to create a bicycle that suits their specific needs.
3. Urban Transportation - The urban transportation industry can benefit from these trends by offering electric bike conversion accessories and kits, as well as structurally versatile bicycles, providing cost-effective and sustainable solutions for commuters.
