Over the summer months, Kiwis clicked on e-scooters 86 per cent more often than e-bikes on the price and product comparison site, PriceSpy.
The difference between e-scooters and e-bikes was based on the number of clicks the shopping category received.
Meanwhile, the shopping category for e-scooters alone grew by 27 per cent since 2018.
Despite e-scooters appearing more popular, New Zealand country manager for PriceSpy Liisa Matinvesi-Bassett thought e-bikes could fight back.
"We anticipate the popularity of electric bikes to rise, as they offer riders a little more comfort compared to scooters when travelling over a longer distance," she said.
"Bikes also offer people the opportunity to do some gentle exercise with the back-up of having some power behind them for when they are faced with a large hill."
It could be possible e-scooters were more popular among Kiwis because they were cheaper than e-bikes, Matinvesi-Bassett said.
Between the top five most popular options of either transport on PriceSpy, the price points for an e-scooter ranged between $689 and $2299.
Meanwhile, the price points for e-bikes ranged between $2799.99 to $5499.99.
