What is the Bike Conversion trend?
Bike Conversion: Electric micro-mobility is an industry growing at a record pace. Brands are offering affordable e-bike conversion kits that attach to traditional bicycles with minimal effort.

Insight
The consumer insight behind the Bike Conversion trend
Electric micro-mobility is one of the go-to options for city commuters and cycling hobbyists.

E-bikes are premium products with price tags to match, leading to the creation of e-bike transformation kits. These kits address consumer pressures of powered mobility while respecting budget constraints, allowing for more commuters to participate in eco-friendly transportation methods.
