So the Big 3 (Trek, Specialized, Giant) will now become the Big 4 (adding Pon)?

I wonder if there's a list of US bike sales by brand anywhere? I always thought Cannondale was right there behind the Big 3 but I'm going off of (perceived) brand recognition more than sales data.

I think in total sales it might put them at #1 across all the brands.

But, again, this is about ebikes. 70% of Pon's sales are already in ebikes, and it is where the bulk of the growth is. With limited barriers to entry in a high-growth market, the story is going to continue to be consolidation. Capitalism in action.

A number of bicycle brands (including big ones like Trek) are privately owned, so they don't have to release financial information like sales revenues.
