Potential user groups

To date, there is little research into the background of the existing clientele for pedelecs. The available studies show that the majority of pedelec users can be classified in two main groups:

• 65+ people and
• commuters.

Nevertheless, the average age of pedelec buyers is decreasing. This is likely to be the result of a growing number of commuters using pedelecs and/or new target groups discovering this new means of transport.

More information on potential user groups:

• Car drivers
• Parents & shoppers
• Professional groups who need to travel a lot over short distances
• Emergency services
• Civil servants and politicians
• 65+
• Tourists
