Customer preferences: The Bicycles Market in New Zealand has seen a significant increase in demand for e-bikes, as consumers look for sustainable and convenient transportation options. This trend is driven by a growing awareness of environmental concerns and a desire for healthier lifestyles. Additionally, the rise of urbanization and increasing traffic congestion has also contributed to the popularity of e-bikes as a practical mode of transportation. As a result, the market has seen a shift towards more technologically advanced and efficient e-bike models, such as those with longer battery life and smart features.

Trends in the market: In New Zealand, the Bicycles Market is experiencing a surge in demand for electric bikes, with sales increasing by 67% in 2020. This trend is expected to continue, driven by the government's push for sustainable transportation options and the growing interest in outdoor activities due to the pandemic. The rise of e-bikes also presents opportunities for bike-sharing and rental services. Additionally, there is a growing trend of using cycling as a mode of transportation, leading to the development of more bike-friendly infrastructure. This shift towards sustainable and active transportation has the potential to reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions, making it a significant trend for both industry stakeholders and the environment.

Local special circumstances: In New Zealand, the Bicycles Market is heavily influenced by the country's geography and its strong cycling culture. With its diverse terrain and scenic landscapes, cycling is a popular recreational activity in New Zealand.
