The busiest rail lines in Britain are basically full, so expect delays and forget social distancing as you’re squashed into someone else’s armpit.
It’s not easy to survive in the rat race of any big city. Unless you’re a billionaire with a personal chauffeur and plenty of time to sit in traffic, cars are a no-go. Nevertheless, millions of Londoners try to cope with the city’s ageing tube and bus network every day. So there has be another way to commute in the UK’s cities?
Looking at cost, time and wellbeing, we pit electric bikes against public transport.
Electric bikes are designed to get you from A to B faster and cheaper, and studies prove they boost your health and wellbeing.
The figures don’t lie!
Let’s take the travel costs for travelling between Zones 1-3 in London. An annual travelcard will set you back a whooping £1740!!
For example, now take the latest 2022 Haibike Trekking 4 equipped with a luggage rack, lights, mudguards and a kickstand, everything you need to tackle our urban jungles, priced at £2449. At Electric Bikes Sales, we accept most Cycle to Work Schemes, with which you can save up to 47%, meaning the Haibike now costs £1421 thats a phenomenal saving of over £1028. So by the year end , you will have an extra £319 in your pocket.
Who wants a few extra minutes in bed in the morning?
Even if the cost savings do not convince you, maybe the time savings will. With an eBike there are no more enduring faulty trains, leaves on the line, and no last-minute destination changes, you charge, your city, your journey.
Plus, an electric bike can get you to your destination at up to 15.5 miles per hour, so even compared to walking (or a normal bike) it’s a no-brainer. So say goodbye to sweaty commutes, no need to take a shower before work, the incredible boost takes the hard work out of cycling and puts the fun back in. Winner winner chicken dinner.
According to The World Health Organisation we should all do a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity each week. So just 30 minutes of cycling every workday could help improve your physical and emotional wellbeing. Please see our article on Are electric bikes cheating?
