Ride into the New Year: Why E-Scooters & E-Bikes Topped Holiday Wish Lists in 2025

The 2025 holiday season has officially wrapped, and the trend is unmistakable: Americans embraced a new kind of gift under the tree and a new resolution for the road ahead. Electric scooters and electric bikes were not just popular purchases; they were the stars of Christmas morning and the cornerstone of countless New Year’s plans. But what drove this surge? Let’s explore the data and dive into the reasons why giving—and getting—the gift of ride transformed this holiday season.

Unwrapping the 2025 Holiday Trends: Data & Driving Factors

While final industry-wide sales figures are still being tallied, analysis of consumer sentiment, search trends, and retail reports points to several key factors that made electric rideables the go-to gift:

1. The Pursuit of Joyful, Practical Gifting: In a shift towards experiences and practical upgrades over traditional items, e-scooters and e-bikes perfectly fit the bill. They promise daily fun, freedom, and a tangible improvement to the recipient’s commute or weekend adventures. As one ECORIDING customer put it, their purchase was about turning "the daily grind into a moment of joy."
2. A Strong Year-Round Commuting Trend Culminating in Holiday Upgrades: With fuel costs and urban congestion remaining high, many used the holiday season as the perfect time to upgrade their commute. Gifting a high-performance vehicle like the 1200W ZU06 Electric Scooter (with a 50-mile max range) and 750W V20 Ebike (with a 70-mile max range) or treating oneself to a powerful 3000W dual-motor & battery T73 E-BIKE became a logical investment for the year ahead.
3. Post-Holiday Resolution Planning: The proximity of Christmas to New Year’s Day created a unique purchasing window. Many buyers weren’t just thinking of December 25th; they were planning for January 1st. An electric rideable is the ultimate tool for fulfilling popular resolutions like saving money on gas, adding more outdoor activity, or reducing one’s carbon footprint.
4. Demand for Premium, Feature-Rich Models: Holiday shoppers showed a preference for robust, well-equipped models that offered safety, comfort, and reliability. Features highlighted in ECORIDING customer reviews—like bright Angel Eye headlights for night safety, responsive suspension for a smooth ride, and dual disc brakes for stop-and-go traffic—were major purchase drivers.

The real proof is in the riding. Here’s how our community at ECORIDING is using their holiday gifts:
