If you commute on an e-bike 20km a day, five days a week, your charging cost would be about $20 โ€“ annually.

If taken up, electric micromobility can cut urban emissions. A study of e-scooter riders in the United Kingdom found these trips produced up to 45% less carbon dioxide than alternatives.

US researchers estimate that if e-bike trips expanded to 11% of all vehicle trips, transport emissions would fall by about 7%.

My ebike is the best thing I've purchased in years. I can ride as fast as I'd drive in the city, take all the shortcuts I want, and do 20km commutes without feeling winded. It cost less than the only car repair I've made while the payment plan has lower installments than my monthly insurance premium. It's like a cheat code for transportation.
