Want to save more than $11,000 per year?

So, what's the real costs of owning an ebike? And just how much cheaper is it than a car.

When it comes to commuting costs, there's no denying that owning a car can quickly add up. Between registration fees, fuel, parking, and insurance, the total annual expense can easily surpass $11000.

In contrast, an ebike offers a much more wallet-friendly alternative, with an average yearly running cost as low as $8 for charging and minimal maintenance fees. For those travelling around 80 km per week, the savings can be remarkable, particularly in cities like Adelaide, where parking alone can cost $3500 per year.

Let’s break down the numbers to see why an e-bike is a clear winner for cost-conscious commuters.
