More than 50M light electric vehicles (LEVs) have been sold over the past decade. This vigorous industry already represents an important opportunity for battery and fuel cell powered transportation, years ahead of wide deployment of passenger car / commercial vehicle EVs and FCVs. The market is growing rapidly (with 2007 sales of 20M units), and offers great diversity, compared to that expected for higher power EVs. The report lists many hundreds of LEV companies worldwide, highlighting the explosive growth in China and the coming surge in other Asian, European and North American markets.
The latest edition of “Electric Bikes Worldwide”, now available from EscoVale, presents a wealth of information on the light electric vehicle sector, including a market assessment to 2009. The report is prepared by Frank Jamerson, a Ph. D. physicist who spent 35 years with General Motors Corporation at the GM Technical Center in Warren, Michigan. He managed Physics and Electrochemistry Departments and initiated the GM R&D fuel cell program in 1987. A Physics team invented the world's most powerful magnet, Neodymium-Iron-Boron (Magnequench) now used in computer disk drives and electric motors worldwide. He retired as Assistant Program Manager for GM Electric Vehicles (EV1) Program. Dr. Jamerson has worldwide contacts in the electric vehicle industry, having travelled to, and presented papers at, International Light Electric Vehicle Expositions in the USA, Germany, China and Taiwan.
“Electric Bikes Worldwide 2007” covers the key LEV categories:
- EBs - Electric Bikes - Pedelec & E-Bike types
- LESs - Light Electric Scooters - Stand up & Sit down types
- ESs - Electric Scooters - speeds to 35/60 mph (60/100 kph)
- EMs - Electric Motorcycles - speeds to 60 mph (100 kph)
- NEVs - Neighborhood Electric Vehicles - speeds to 30 mph (50 kph)
Who Should Buy It?
“Electric Bikes Worldwide” already has global readership amongst hundreds of organizations:
Major automotive companies and other transport industries; specialist developers and distributors of light electric vehicles, batteries, fuel cells and powertrain components; government agencies, trade organizations and NGOs with transport, energy and environmental responsibilities; electricity, gas and oil companies, and others with specialist fuel infrastructure interests (e.g. hydrogen/methanol). Other important sectors include consultants, universities, suppliers of competing systems, potential investors and those keeping a watching brief on developments in the area.
