Let’s imagine someone who works not further than 5 km from home. Someone that needs to daily take the public transport for going at work and go back home. Someone from any European city who is seriously considering acquiring an ebike for making the commuting more pleasant, keeping fit and physically active, feeling environmentally responsible and also saving some time every day. The only doubt of this person is deciding whether purchasing an urban ebike is worth or not in terms of investment.
Yes! Absolutely! Of course it is! No doubts!
Depending on the city this person lives and the ebike model price, the investment can easily be recovered in a few years or even less than one year. We have arranged a comparative table to show how long is it necessary to recover the investment for an ebike purchase, based on the public transport tariffs in several European cities and the cost of different ebike qualities:
