However, that huge growth is relative as the total number of e-bikes sold is still small. It stood at a total of 24,604 units which represents a 2% market share. Average sale price of an e-bike in Spain in 2015 stood at 1,461 euro which was up 12% on the 2014 price.

According to the sell-out monitor of AMBE an exact number of 1,103,839 bicycles and e-bikes were sold in Spain in 2015. This stands for a 1.4% growth on the 2014 total. The average sales price per unit was 451 euro; up 6% on the 2014 price. That price increase was caused by the depreciation of the euro against the US dollar in 2015 which brought about price increases for bicycles and e-bikes all around Europe.
