The rise in the demand for electric vehicles is anticipated to propel the electric kick scooter market's growth. An electric vehicle (EV) is defined as a vehicle powered by an electric motor, which derives its energy from a rechargable battery. Electric kick scooters have become more favored than other electric scooters due to their safety, practicality, ease of use, and environmental advantages. For example, the International Energy Agency, based in France, reported in April 2023 that over 10 million electric cars were sold worldwide in 2022, with a 35% increase expected this year, totaling 14 million. While the internal combustion engine has reigned supreme for over a hundred years, the rise of electric vehicles is ushering in a significant shift. It is predicted that by 2030, they will reduce the daily requirement for at least 5 million barrels of oil. Hence, the growing popularity of electric vehicles is fueling the advancement of the electric kick-scooter market.
