Engines above 12 kW and speeds above 40 kmph cater to advanced users, while 20-40 kmph models suit recreational users. Millennials and Gen Z dominate individual archetypes, with recreational users outpacing professional ones. Online sales (6,334 units in 2021, projected 11,750 by 2032) lead over offline channels like sports stores. North America and Europe are key markets, with South Asia & Oceania showing growth potential.
