• Ride a bike without the sweat.
  • Use your e-Bike for local errands. Why drive a 3 - 6,000 lb vehicle  to the corner store, the office, school or post office when an electric bicycle will get you there in the same amount of time - without the wear and tear on your car, without polluting our atmosphere, and without the cost of gas?
  • If you're going to the grocery store, get a bike trailer!  You can tow about a hundred pounds of groceries with an e-Bike.
  • Use an electric bike to commute to work or school.  If your one-way commute is 10 miles or less why not ride an e-bike instead of driving? If you take surface streets you'll probably arrive at work in about the same amount of time it would have taken you to drive, perhaps even less if you fight morning and afternoon traffic, because your bicycle is much more maneuverable.
  • Get a little exercise. Even though your bike is electric you can still pedal along with it as much as you care to.
  • Save your gas money.  If you start using your bike for local errands and commuting, it will pay for itself in a matter of weeks!  
  • A full charge to the battery costs about 10 cents of electricity and gives you a 20 to 30 mile range!
