BIG DATA VISUALIZATION - E-BIKE REPAIR STUDY 2021
INFOGRAPHIC DESIGN, BIG DATA VISUALIZATION, EDITORIAL DESIGN INSURANCE
After the E-Bike Repair Study 2020 by WERTGARANTIE (Hanover, Germany), we also visualized the next study from 2021 with many infographic designs and created the layout of the report for national and international journalists and media representatives.
​
The survey was carried out in cooperation with Statista and shows many interesting aspects of e-bike repairs. In the design process, we paid special attention to the correlation of the figures between 2020 and 2021.

You can download the entire study as a PDF here and take a look at some data visualizations below:
SECURING THE E-BIKE:
PARTICULARLY POPULAR - HIGH-QUALITY LOCKS AND INSURANCE
​
Users increasingly trust solid chain or folding locks. In addition, significantly more insurance policies against damage have been taken out. On the decrease: spiral locks.
(Multiple answers possible.)
WHAT IS THE E-BIKE USED FOR?:
INCREASING RELEVANCE IN TERMS OF SPORT AND RECREATION
​
81.1% use the e-bike for leisure activities. As sports equipment, 7.8% more riders use it than in the previous year. Only 29.5% use it for cycling trips or holidays.
(Multiple answers possible.)
COMPONENTS AFFECTED BY TECHNICAL DEFECTS:
BATTERY TECHNICALLY LESS AT RISK THAN LAST YEAR
​
Technical defects account for 22% of total damage. Although batteries are the number one source of technical defects, their share has fallen by 4.9% compared to the previous year. Also susceptible to failure: motor and display.
​
(Multiple answers possible.)
ROUTES TRAVELLED ANNUALLY:
NEARLY A QUARTER TRAVEL UP TO 2,000 KILOMETRES
​
The majority of users travel 1,000 kilometres per year, 12.2% even 5,000. Fewer users travel 500 kilometres annually.
​
TOP 3 AND FLOP 3:
SATISFACTION WITH THE MOTOR
​
With 88% motor-related customer satisfaction, Diamant Achat Deluxe+ and Gazelle Arroyo C7 HMS - 500 score well, as does the Cube Access Hybrid EXC 625 with 85%. Only 69% of users see their expectations fulfilled with the motor of the Bergamont E-Contrail 6.0 Plus. BMC Alpenchallenge AMP AL City Two and BH Bikes Atomx Lynx 5.5 leave users dissatisfied.
​
AGE OF E-BIKE USERS (blue) AND FREQUENCY OF ACCIDENT-RELATED DAMAGE PER AGE (red):
​
Blue infographic / With 25.9%, the age group 30 - 39 years is most strongly represented. Striking: the number of drivers under 29 increased by a significant 5.8%, while the number of those over 50 decreased.
​
Red infographic / Almost 80% of accident-related damages to e-bikes is caused by riders up to 39 years of age; the probability of accidents is significantly lower for the other age groups.
HOW ARE DAMAGES REPAIRED?:
BICYCLE REPAIR SHOPS MORE IN DEMAND
​
At 44.9%, many users repair their bikes partially themselves, 37.2% rely on professional repair, and the trend is rising. Declining: the trend towards complete self-repair.
„Creative, chic, professional and committed - that is HCG corporate designs. For me as the project manager of repair studies, the challenge was to have dull data translated into a visually appealing product. Ms. Gamper turns every graphic into a magnificent visual experience.“
