A Visit to Electric Bikes Market in China || Daily Vlog || Ahsan Laadla Vlogs

Over the past decade, China has been undergoing the biggest adoption of alternative fuels for transportation, ever. Although this transition isn’t being led by green cars like the Tesla or the new lines of “eco” buses that are popping up in an increasing number of the country's cities, but e-bikes - electric bicycles.
There are now up to 200 million e-bikes zipping through the streets of China, providing low cost, energy efficient, and emission-free transportation for people across the country. E-bikes have also become a big business, with over 35 million being sold each year, 700 manufacturers, and an industry chain that is valued at US$30 billion in China alone.
As China’s cities have grown in size, population, and complexity many fold over the past two decades, new transportation options were needed for middle and working class residents to commute to work and back, and the e-bike adequately filled this void for hundreds of millions. This phenomenon occurred without any formal policy support from the Chinese government, and was a purely market-driven response to a very real social demand.
