As the name suggests, a foldable electric scooter is an e-scooter that can be folded. A traditional electric scooter is kick scooters that require manual effort from the rider to propel forward. But electric scooters are powered by a motor making it an environmentally friendly mode of transport. The batteries feeding these motors do require regular charging, but depending on the capacity, some models possess a range of up to 60 miles. Foldable scooters usually will fold in half, at the point where the handlebar stem meets the deck – although some scooters may utilize less conventional folding methods. Foldable electric scooters are a boon to riders who must use public transport as part of their commute. Taking a bicycle or scooter onto a bus or metro system during the busy rush hour periods inconveniences other passengers and can be quite irritating when space is limited. As a foldable electric scooter is incredibly compact and will not occupy an unreasonable amount of room, it presents a good compromise.

Increased concern about fuel consumption and air pollution is driving the market for foldable electric scooters

Foldable electric scooters are famous for their fuel-efficient application and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Electric scooters are lightweight and safe for the environment which is expected to surge to the growth of the foldable electric scooter during the forecast period. The Li-ion batteries have a higher density than sealed lead-acid batteries, making them lighter and more efficient. The increasing environmental concerns among consumers across the globe, regarding air pollution which is created by automobiles, influence consumers to use these scooters for commutation. For instance, according to the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT), in 2019, more than 70% of the U.S. citizens who had ridden a foldable electric scooter said they mostly used these scooters for transportation rather than recreation. Consumers ride these foldable electric scooters for convenience, portability, fun, cost, and reliability.

Also, a foldable electric scooter is a bicycle designed to fold into a compact form, facilitating transport and storage. When folded, the scooters can be more easily carried into buildings and houses or on public transportation (facilitating mixed-mode commuting and bicycle commuting), and more easily stored in compact living quarters or aboard a car, boat or plane.

North America Region Dominates the Global Foldable Electric Scooter Market

Based on regional segmentation, the foldable electric scooter market is divided into five major regions namely North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and The Middle East, and Africa.

Presently, North America is estimated to be the largest market for foldable electric scooter and is expected to continue the trend owing to the presence of a high number of electric vehicle manufacturers. Moreover, the countries, such as the U.S. and Canada have a high consumer base for foldable electric scooters. For instance, according to the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NATCO), in the U.S., approximately 84 million trips were taken on micromobility vehicles in 2018, 38.5 million of which were on a shared electric scooter.

Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market for foldable electric scooters owing to the presence of top manufacturers, such as Xiaomi Corporation. The rising pollution and increasing provision of financial incentives by the government are increasing the demand for electric scooters in the region. China is the largest market for electric vehicles. China is the largest producer as well as consumer of electric vehicles in the world. For instance, according to the IEA report on global electric vehicles, the global stock of electric passenger cars was over 5 million in 2018, which increased around 63% compared to 2017. Among these, almost 43% of the electric passenger cars were on the road of China only.
