Get detailed COVID-19 impact analysis on the Gear Bicycle Market
Request Now !Bicycle gearing is the aspect of a bicycle drivetrain that determines the relation between the cadence, the rate at which the rider pedals, and the rate at which the drive wheel turns. On some bicycles there is only one gear and, therefore, the gear ratio is fixed, but most modern bicycles have multiple gears and thus multiple gear ratios. A shifting mechanism allows selection of the appropriate gear ratio for efficiency or comfort under the prevailing circumstances: for example, it may be comfortable to use a high gear when cycling downhill, a medium gear when cycling on a flat road, and a low gear when cycling uphill. Different gear ratios and gear ranges are appropriate for different people and styles of cycling. There are two main types of gear change mechanisms, known as derailleurs and hub gears. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages, and which is preferable depends on the particular circumstances. Derailleur mechanisms can only be used with chain drive transmissions, so bicycles with belt drive or shaft drive transmissions must either be single speed or use hub gears.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, commuters are mostly avoiding public transportation. Gear bikes are considered a safe, convenient, and affordable alternative to public transportation. Also, compared to other transportation systems, gear bikes are cheaper, and do not require huge investments in supportive infrastructure. This is estimated to boost the sales of gear bikes i. However, post-2021, the market is expected to return to normalcy. The sale of gear bikes was dampened in the first quarter of 2020, as bike stores were closed due to lockdowns. However, now that the lockdown has been lifted in most countries, including China, India, Japan, the US, Italy, and France, the sale of gear bikes has increased. The number of bike buyers has also increased for the first time. According to industry experts gear bike manufacturers such as MTB, and dolan are increasingly considered an ideal transportation mode as cities emerge from the quarantine and summer approaches in the US and Europe. The demand for gear bikes would grow at a moderate rate, considering the return of safer public and private transportation systems, such as metros, buses, and cab/ride-sharing platforms.
