Highlights A systematic literature review of nearly 50 years of e-bike studies is organized. A knowledge map for the field of e-bike studies is provided. Keywords co-occurrence in e-bike studies during 1976–2023 is visualized. Burst detection is employed to examine the evolutionary trends of e-bike studies. Research gaps and future studies on e-bikes are discussed.
Abstract Electric bicycles (also named e-bikes or e-scooters) are considered as a key component of the replacement of low-carbon transportation. To gain knowledge of current situation and anticipated shifts in the field of e-bikes timely and comprehensively, firstly, 2,101 articles related to e-bikes from the WoS-Core-based repository are extracted. Then, mapping knowledge domain tools are performed to conduct bibliometric analysis of selected articles. The results show that energy models and charging system, behaviour and safety, environmental and health, usage and influencing are the major concerns through three development process, namely primary development-based, stable development-based, and rapid development-based stage. Finally, research gaps, future studies and discussion on the concerns of e-bikes are presented.
