ABSTRACT
Electric bicycles (e-bikes) have become a transformative force in sustainable transportation, offering an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional vehicles. This systematic literature review (SLR) explores the evolution of e-bikes, focusing on technological advancements and market adoption. The study synthesizes findings from 20 international journals, identifying innovations such as high-capacity lithium-ion batteries and IoT-enabled features that have enhanced e-bike performance and user experience. Market adoption patterns reveal regional disparities influenced by government policies, infrastructure, and consumer behavior. Despite promising growth, challenges such as high costs, inadequate charging infrastructure, and safety concerns persist. This review highlights existing research gaps and proposes future directions, including the integration of e-bikes into smart city ecosystems and the development of sustainable battery technologies. The findings aim to provide comprehensive insights for researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to optimize the adoption and development of e-bikes as a cornerstone of modern transportation.
