According to the Cycle Observatory, in France, <strong>e-bike sales fell by 9 % in 2023 compared with 2022,<\/strong> rather than increasing by 30 % as the original text claimed. E-bikes represented about 30 % of bicycles sold. The text below retains ideas envisaged for 2024, amid attention to climate, travel costs and sustainable mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What trends were envisaged for electric bikes in 2024?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"wp-image-25873\" style=\"width: 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2024\/01\/lundi-27-02.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Urban electric bike\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2024\/01\/lundi-27-02.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2024\/01\/lundi-27-02-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2024\/01\/lundi-27-02-1024x683.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2024\/01\/lundi-27-02-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2024\/01\/lundi-27-02-113x75.jpg.webp 113w, https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/uploads\/2024\/01\/lundi-27-02-480x320.jpg.webp 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width:767px) 480px, (max-width:1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Greater range<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Range remained an important buying criterion. The original text envisaged models quoting up to 150 km for 2024. This is a historical expectation, not a guaranteed distance: range varies with the bicycle, route and conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More affordable prices<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High prices remained an obstacle for some buyers. The text anticipated more affordable models in 2024 to widen access; that expectation does not replace a current price comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More elegant designs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond practical use, electric bikes could appeal through their appearance. The text anticipated more elegant designs in 2024 to attract a wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Prospects for electric bikes in France<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The text described favourable prospects in France and anticipated a growing role in large cities in 2024. Those forecasts are retained as an archive, without presenting them as established results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tips for choosing an electric bike<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are considering an electric bike, here are some points to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Define your needs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before choosing, define your needs. What distances do you want to travel, and on what terrain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Compare models<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many electric bikes on the market. Take time to compare them before choosing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Try the bike before buying<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A test ride helps you check that the bike is comfortable and meets your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The text saw electric bikes as practical, sustainable mobility and expected growth in 2024. This conclusion belongs to the archive; it is not a current market forecast.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"buffy-editorial-sources\"><h2>References checked on 8 October 2026<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unionsportcycle.com\/economie\/2024-04-30\/baisse-des-ventes-de-velos-neufs-progression-du-marche-maintenue\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">UNION Sport &amp; Cycle \u2014 2023 results<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archived expectations for 2024: range, price, design and 2023 sales data corrected using the Cycle Observatory.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25872,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[149],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
