Just over 341,000 bicycles and e-bikes were delivered to the bicycle trade in 2024, according to the survey published on Saturday by the Swiss bicycle supplier association Velosuisse. 55 percent of the vehicles delivered were bicycles, 45 percent e-bikes.
Not all areas recorded a decline: for example, sales of e-gravel bikes almost quadrupled to just under 1000 units. E-road bikes increased by almost a third and e-cargo bikes by around a quarter, according to the report.
Overall, however, 12 percent fewer e-bikes were delivered. The decline in motorless bikes was as much as 15 percent, the report continued. Velosuisse speaks of a consolidation phase since 2023 after the "fantastic growth rates in the coronavirus years" from 2000 to 2022.
According to Velosuisse, there are currently around 5.2 million bicycles and around 1.4 million e-bikes on the road in Switzerland.
