There are many benefits of switching from a car to an electric bike. We have developed a short video that shows many of the benefits.

Try our new interactive commuting calculator to determine your personal cost savings, environmental and health benefits from not driving your car.

Find a basic calculation on the environmental impact and the cost savings below.

Environmental

For a 250 miles/month average commute, an electric assisted vehicle is 100 times more cost efficient and emits only 3% of the CO2 of a car.

Health

Exercise is the choice of the rider but pedaling becomes much easier and enjoyable regardless of the terrain when using the electric bicycle. It takes the strain out of hills and you can exercise without exhausting yourself!

11 mi/day per 144Wh/day= 13Wh/mi

13Wh/mi * 250 mi/month = 3.3kWh/month

3.3kWh/month*$.085/kWh =$0.28

250mi/month / 25mi/gal = 10 gal/month

10gal/month * $3/gal = $30

39.6kWh/year using Carbon calculator

and California System Electricity Production generates 20.8lbs of Carbon

20.8lbs/year * 3.7 =76.96 lbs/year CO2

1gal produces 20lbs of Carbon Dioxide. Source.

120gal/year * 20lbs = 2400 lbs/year CO2

SDGE electric energy charge = $0.085/kWh

In CA, 27% of total energy produced comes from renewable resources. Source.

Average gas price = $3/gal
