What are the keys to electric motorcycle in Europe?

Global demand for true green mobility, Electric motorcycles, doing good in Europe. Consumer interest in electric motorcycles pan-Europe is not simply driven by increasing concern for the environment but also technological advances and policy support. However, bearing in mind the tough competition in the European automotive market, Electric motorcycles suppliers must realise their customers' basic needs in order to make an impact on the market. The trend and success factors for the development of electric motorcycles in the European market that the paper would focus on as followed: Compliance Guarantee, long-life endurance and fast charging, high cost perfomaturmance, localized service and sustainability.

Electric motorcycle in Europe: Compliance Assurance

In Europe, electric motorcycle must fulfill a variety of compliance requirements for legitimate sales in what is a very serious regulatory and standards market.

EU type approval: WVTA, CE marking and E-mark certification to ensure vehicle in compliance with safety and environmental performance standards.

All batteries must be RPHO ROHS Directive Directive and 2006/66 / EC compliant (e.g. by ensuring that they contain no hazardous substances and no harmful compounds, and that they are recyclable.)

General safety: the Electric motorcycle in the Europe required fitted ABS (Anti-lock braking system) and the enece-compliant lighting and noise control.

Electric motorcycle manufacturers first need to prepare relevant certifications in advance, and try to make products in accordance with the latest regulations, which is the most important thing for electric motorcycle suppliers entering the European market.

The e-bikes, after all, are built for long battery life and fast-charging capabilities — the two components to overcoming range anxiety.

Technical indicators that are considered most important by European consumers include range and charging convenience.

Range: Customers in the European market would want electric motorcycles to have a range in the range of 150-300 kilometers, as they should cover their daily roaming and short trips.

Charging time: Time to fast charge (1-2 hours to 80%) and home charging compatibility (220V) are basic requirements. Moreover, the vehicle shall cater to the public charging network and therefore must feature the widely adopted Type 2 charging interface in Europe.

Performance at a low temperature: The performance of battery in low temperature environment is more important to those vehicles in cold region like Northern Europe.

Suppliers' ability to improve user experience by eliminating range anxiety is made possible by maximizing battery energy density and thermal management systems.

Cost-Effectiveness

Price continues to be one of the most important drivers of purchasing decisions. And from a financial perspective, electric motorcycles can be much more affordable than gasoline-powered motorcycles, with less frequent visits to the gas station and less maintenance needed. Manufacturers clear price barriers by increasing production efficiency and economies of scale more. Electric bikes become available to larger layers of people with affordable pricing strategies and exciting financing options.

Digital Services: APP realizes remote diagnosis, OTA upgrade, anti-theft tracking and many other functions.

Localized support: the crux of user experience improvement

European consumers have quite high demands on after-sales service, and the localized service network is the core with getting trust.

Sales points: Establish after-sales service outlets in Europe even if there are no sales outlets or establish maintenance networks with local partners to respond to customer needs in a timely manner.

Policy take: Provide the consumer with long time pv and motor warranty.

Digital service: Via APP, provide remote diagnosis, OTA upgrade, anti-theft tracking and other functions to enhance user experience.

In addition to after-sales service, localized services must also take into account the preferences of European users in product design, such as multilingual interface, climate adaptability, etc.

Sustainability: Biodiversity conservation in a nutshell

Europe is one of the most eco-aware, environmentally friendly regions globally, and sustainability is a key selling point of electric motorcycles.

Low-carbon production: Produce vehicles using renewable energy to limited carbon emission in manufacturing process

Use eco-friendly materials: Use recyclable materials or bio-based materials to reduce impact on the environment.

Raw materials: How to make sure raw materials are produced in accordance with the measures against the use of conflict minerals.

By focusing on sustainability, Electric motorcycle suppliers can not only satisfy consumers' demand for environmental protection, but also improve their brand image and obtain policy favoritism.

What's Next for Electric Motorcycles in Europe?

The Europe electric motorcycle market is on fire, but competition is getting red-hot, too. The Electric Motorcycles providers must therefore cover five core compliance protection needs, long fast charging, cost effectiveness, localized services, sustainability, and should offer qualified products and services that meet the European region standard to secure a spot in this market.

With the development of the technology and policy promotion, the electric motorcycle will become an important urban travel choice in the future for Europeans. It is only the brands that truly get, and can deliver on what consumers need that will rise to the top as key followers in the green mobility revolution of the future.
