April 29, 2022 - Bicycle sales figures for 2021 in Austria topped €1 billion for the first time, a +17% increase over last year – sales have tripled since 2015.
Almost every second bicycle sold is an e-bike – total share: 45%, for bikes for adults: 55%. This makes Austria once again the strongest market in the DA-CH region.
A total of around €756 million (€756,249,657) was turned over with e-bikes sales in 2021. That is about 73% of the total bicycle sales in 2021.
In 2021, more than 2,200 e-cargo bikes were sold for the first time. The sales volume has thus doubled again (+ 136.5 %) after a strong increase in the previous year.
The bicycle has become indispensable as a means of sustainable, healthy and individual mobility which is underscored by the increase in government funding for cycling to around 60 million euros per year.
