How an Ebike Can Help You Save Money

 

The average price for a gallon of gas just exceeded $5 nationwide.

If you’re experiencing pain at the pump, know that you’re not alone. A recent poll from AAA revealed that 75% of Americans will now reconsider their driving habits.

If you’re part of that majority, we’re here to assist.

Electric bikes have provided countless Rad riders with the opportunity to reduce their driving frequency, and consequently, their fuel expenses.

Here’s how:

You can start riding for less than the cost of a tank of gas.

With flexible financing options through Affirm, you can purchase an electric bike for as little as $42 per month — a price that amounts to less than 9 gallons of gas.

Clearly, this adds up, especially when considering the savings on car maintenance, ride-sharing, and parking fees.

(Fun fact: Our community collectively travels 150 million miles each year. If those trips were made by car, the fuel cost would amount to approximately $29 million!)

*Financing option through Affirm. Certain restrictions apply.

Rad Power Bikes can take you up to 45 miles on a single charge.

Talk about covering some serious ground. Our electric bikes have a range of 45 miles per charge, making them an excellent means of reducing your reliance on vehicles.

That’s quite the distance, and it gets even better if you charge your battery while going about your daily activities.

The battery easily detaches from the e-bike, and with the included charger, you can plug it in while you’re at work or enjoying a few hours at the local coffee shop.

For added convenience, we’ve created a practical Battery Travel Case that can hold your battery, charger, and spare keys.

You can equip yourself and hit the road.

Choosing to leave your car parked doesn’t mean you have to travel lightly.

Rad Power Bikes have a weight capacity that ranges from 275 to 350 pounds, depending on the model.

This means electric bikes can effortlessly transport your laptop, groceries, or the supplies needed for a summer gathering at the beach — especially when paired with our assortment of storage and transport accessories.

Even adventurers like Marley Blonsky utilize them to transport camping gear into the great outdoors. Take a look at her guide for camping with an electric bike.

Ebikes make excellent travel companions for road trips.

If you’ll be embarking on a summer journey in an RV or van, electric bikes provide a convenient solution for reducing short trips between overnight stops.

Easy Storage and Convenient Transportation

The RadExpand offers a unique feature – it can be easily folded up for convenient on-board storage. When you need to head to town for groceries or other errands, simply unfold it and you’re ready to go.

The Hollywood Racks RV Rider Rack and Sports Rider Rack provide another great option for carrying your ebikes. These racks can be attached to the back of your vehicle, allowing you to transport your bikes with ease.

Enjoy Year-round Rides in Any Weather

As the summer approaches and gas prices continue to rise, an ebike is a wise investment that can help you save money on fuel all year round. Even as gas prices may reach over $6 by August, an ebike offers a cost-effective alternative.

When fall arrives and rainy weather becomes common, rest assured that our ebike models are designed to perform exceptionally well in wet conditions. You can ride confidently without worrying about the rain affecting your biking experience.

In addition, some riders have found innovative uses for their electric bikes during the winter season. They utilize them for skiing or snowboarding trips, avoiding the hassle of crowded parking lots commonly found at winter sports destinations.
