The global electric scooters market is projected to reach $408.1 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 21.6% from 2024–2031. By volume, this market is expected to reach 298.5 million units by 2031 at a CAGR of 18.1% during the forecast period 2024 to 2031.


Electric scooters are plug-in electric vehicles with two or three wheels. The electricity is stored on board in a rechargeable battery, which drives one or more electric motors. Electric scooters have brushless direct current (BLDC) electric motors that are built into the hub of wheels. All electric kick scooters have at least one motor, while more powerful ones have two. Electric scooters consist of different types of e-bikes, including kick scooters, electric motorcycles, and electric mopeds. An electric kick scooter is a vehicle consisting of a footboard mounted on two wheels and a long steering handle, propelled by resting one foot on the footboard and pushing the other against the ground, assisted by an electric motor. Electric scooters are used for private and public transportation, shared mobility, micromobility, logistics, short commutes, and industrial applications.

The growth of the global electric scooters market is driven by the increasing localization of electric scooter manufacturing in emerging economies, the increasing consumer acceptance of electric two-wheelers compared to ICE two-wheelers, and the rising inclination of developed economies toward electric-powered two-wheelers. However, the growing reliability issues among consumers due to increasing incidents of accidents involving electric two-wheelers and inadequate investment by legacy two-wheeler manufacturers toward electric scooters restrain the growth of this market.

The rise in government initiatives to mitigate traffic congestion and pollution is expected to generate market growth opportunities. However, the lack of charging infrastructure poses a major challenge for the market’s growth.

The study offers a comprehensive analysis of the electric scooter market with respect to vehicle type (electric motorcycles, e-kick scooters & bikes, electric mopeds), power output (less than 3.6kW, 3.6kW to 7.2kW, 20kW to 100kW), battery technology (sealed lead acid, lithium-ion, lithium-ion polymer), motor type (hub motor, mid-drive motor) charging type (connector, wireless charging) end user (government institutions, academic institutes/universities, business organizations, micro-mobility service providers, individuals, and other end users), and geography (Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the country level.

Based on vehicle type, the global electric scooters market is segmented into electric motorcycles, electric mopeds, and e-kick scooters & bikes. The electric motorcycles segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is attributed to increasing government policies aimed at promoting electric mobility, growing awareness regarding the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution, rising demand for electric motorcycles among consumers, increasing gasoline prices, and stringent emission norms.

Based on power output, the global electric scooters market is segmented into less than 3.6 kW, 3.6 kW to 7.2 kW, and 20 kW to 100 kW. The 3.6 kW to 7.2 kW segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is attributed to the increasing adoption of electric scooters in emerging economies, favorable incentives and tax benefits, and increasing initiatives by key players in the electric two-wheeler segment.

Based on battery technology, the global electric scooters market is segmented into sealed lead-acid battery, lithium-ion battery, and lithium-ion polymer battery. The lithium-ion polymer battery segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is attributed to the rising adoption of lithium-ion polymer batteries due to their superior performance. These batteries provide a higher power-to-weight ratio, faster charging capabilities, and increased cycle life compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, contributing to enhanced efficiency and range for electric two-wheelers.

Based on motor type, the global electric scooters market is segmented into hub motors and mid-drive motors. The hub motors segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to government initiatives aimed at promoting the adoption of electric vehicles and the growing adoption of electric two-wheelers.

Based on end user, the global electric scooters market is segmented into government institutions, academic institutes/universities, business organizations, micro-mobility service providers, individuals, and other end users. The business organizations segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to government initiatives aimed at promoting EV adoption and reducing road congestion.

Based on geography, the global electric scooters market is segmented into Asia–Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The market in North America is projected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The growth of this regional market can be attributed to rapid urbanization, increasing environmental consciousness, and the need for flexible and sustainable transportation options. Cities across the U.S. and Canada have embraced electric scooters as a viable solution to address the challenges of traffic congestion and the last-mile commute.
