Electrically assisted bicycles (e-bikes) are gaining popularity around the world due to their several mobility, health, and environmental benefits, particularly during and post COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the increasing global recognition, market acceptance of e-bikes is still low in some developing economies like India. To promote e-bike use, it is essential to study the factors influencing the intention to adopt e-bikes among users and non-users. Majority of the past research has investigated the e-bike use related factors from the experiences of e-bike users; while little is known about the non-user’s perceptions. This study identifies and prioritizes the factors related to the perceived usefulness of e-bike influencing e-bike adoption through Principal Component Analysis integrated with Meta Ranking. Results identified e-bike use for last-mile connectivity, for better health, for fun, and for reducing traffic congestion as the most important motivators. While risk of theft, range anxiety, and inadequate charging and cycling infrastructure were found to be the important barriers to e-bike adoption. Purchase cost was observed to be the influencing deterrent among low and middle-income groups. People with greater age and high-income levels preferred using an e-bike for fun and leisure over last-mile connectivity. These findings offer important insights for designing the effective e-bike promoting programs by emphasizing the most influential motivators and deterrents to e-bike adoption.
