Of all these two-wheelers, electric bikes are observed to have the highest adoption rate in the light electric vehicle market. The cost efficiency and innovation in lithium ion (Li-on) batteries have led to the largest share of electric bikes. Three-wheeler light electric vehicles include e-rickshaw, e-auto and others whereas four-wheeler light electric vehicles include electric quad, golf carts, and others.

The light electric vehicle market based on voltage range is segmented into 24V, 36V, 48V, 60V, and 72V. The highest revenue generation in 2017 was from 48V light electric vehicles, majorly used in electric bikes and scooters. However, the rise in demand for use of 72V electric microcars as a substitute to cars and public vehicle among city-dwellers is expected to drive the fast growth of 72V battery pack light electric vehicles during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific accounted for the major share in the Light electric vehicle industry in 2020, globally as the region encompasses rapid urbanization demanding sustainable and affordable transport solution. Further, to curb the increase in pollution level of the industrial economies including China and India, the government initiatives and subsidies are also driving the growth of the regional market. Europe is also witnessing high demand of electric bikes contributing to the growth of the light electric vehicles market in the region.
