On fuel cost alone, it is over 140 times more expensive to drive a petrol or diesel car per mile than it is to power your average electric bike.
Maths based on today's £1.61 petrol and £1.95 diesel cost & UK drivers' 36/43mpg average, respectively - each working out to 20p / mile. Your average e-bike costs about 0.14 of a penny / mile to ride.
Around 70% of journeys under 5 miles are driven. Will you hop in the car today?
