Hanover – – November 02, 2026 -- Adults in Germany cover about 190 million kilometers per day by bicycle and e-bike, according to a longitudinal mobility study from bicycle insurer and leasing provider Linexo. The total splits into roughly 130 million km by conventional bike and 60 million km by e-bike, about 4,750 times the circumference of the Earth.

Two-wheelers take 27% of daily mobility time, ahead of public transport

Bikes and e-bikes account for more than 15 minutes, or 27%, of daily mobility time. That is second only to cars and carsharing at 55% and ahead of public transport at 19%.

Distance tells a different story. Of 38 kilometers traveled in total, 73% are covered on four wheels and 9% on two. Linexo's Sören Hirsch said the gap shows how much potential remains for further trips by bike and e-bike.
