.ebike
Is .ebike a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody is chasing .ebike, as of 7 October 2026. One applicant claimed it and is out. We keep the entry on the record either way.

A narrow product-word ending for electric-bike sellers; real industry, but few brands would make it their main web address.
e-bike brands, dealers, rental and subscription fleets, conversion-kit makers, and cycling-adjacent affiliate or review sites wanting a keyword address
In Journey To The West's published portfolio of 323 strings submitted in the ICANN 2026 round. Their catalog line: “Pedal power, amplified.”
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Same bet exactly: a singular generic product-category noun that a fragmented base of shops, brands and enthusiasts would adopt as primary identity, betting that the category word beats the company word.
A generic powered-two-wheeler category noun aimed at the same dealer-plus-manufacturer retail vertical, differing only in being plural and covering an older, more consolidated market.
Another discretionary-vehicle category noun whose success depends on dealers and hobbyist brands treating the category as their identity, though it lacks the emerging-technology tailwind the target is really wagering on.
What a .ebike domain is
.ebike is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Commerce. Nobody is chasing .ebike today. The applicants that claimed it are out.
Is the .ebike domain extension real yet?
.ebike is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. Nobody has applied for it on the public record; the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round is the process that would decide whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .ebike domain?
You can’t yet. A .ebike name can only be registered once the string is delegated (added to the DNS root) and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .ebike was .bike, delegated on 14 November 2013.
Is .ebike a real TLD?
Not yet. .ebike is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because an applicant claimed .ebike and is no longer in it. We keep the entry, and every entry on this page links to its source.

- I place .ebike in the 10-29 band (vanity/narrow): the e-bike sector is a genuine, growing consumer category, but by analogy with existing sport-and-product TLDs such as .bike — which by analogy has seen modest registration uptake and little primary-identity use among leading cycling brands — a still-narrower compound string is unlikely to become a default identity in the next 5 years. It is not in the 30-49 band because volume registrations are hard to picture when .bike already covers the space more broadly and most e-bike merchants anchor on .com or marketplaces; it is above the 1-9 band because real businesses in a real vertical could plausibly register defensively or for campaign microsites, giving it a thin but nonzero market. The applicant is one of 323 strings in a published portfolio (per the verified facts), which I read neutrally as a portfolio play whose marketing push per string may be limited, tempering adoption likelihood. My main market uncertainty: whether the e-bike industry's growth produces a wave of new direct-to-consumer brands willing to adopt a keyword TLD as primary identity rather than defaulting to .com — if that shift happened, demand could exceed this estimate.
