Major trends in the forecast period include battery swapping infrastructure expansion, connected battery monitoring systems, flexible and pay-per-use battery models, integration with smart city mobility solutions, advanced charging station networks.

The rising fuel prices are expected to drive growth in the smart e-bike battery rental market. Fuel costs are increasing mainly due to higher global crude oil prices, which directly raise the base cost of petrol and diesel. As crude oil becomes more expensive, consumers face higher overall fuel expenses. Smart e-bike battery rentals reduce reliance on petrol and diesel by promoting cleaner electric mobility, lowering fuel demand, and helping stabilize prices by easing pressure on traditional energy sources. For example, in March 2025, the Competition and Markets Authority, a UK-based government department, reported that average petrol and diesel prices increased from 134.4 ppl and 139.7 ppl in 2024 to 139.6 ppl and 146.8 ppl, respectively. Hence, rising fuel prices are supporting the growth of the smart e-bike battery rental market.

Key companies in the smart e-bike battery rental market are focusing on technological innovations such as solar-powered e-bike charging systems to improve battery efficiency and user convenience. Solar-powered bicycle charging systems use sunlight to generate electricity for charging e-bike batteries, converting solar energy directly into power and reducing dependence on traditional electricity sources. In October 2024, Beam Global, Inc., a US-based technology and manufacturing company, launched BeamBike, offering eco-friendly solar-powered charging solutions for electric bicycles. The system features a fully solar-powered charging setup, a compact and modular design for easy urban installation, and smart energy management to efficiently store and distribute power for e-bike users.
