How can fuel costs be reduced?

Recently, motorists have been increasingly concerned about how to reduce fuel costs. No wonder. Petrol prices rise to almost €1.85 per liter. This results in most people who choose to commute by car every day spending more than €100 per month on fuel.

Car maintenance and operating costs

Every year, up to 30% of Germans travel between 10,000 and 20,000 kilometers by car. This means that each of them spends between €900 and €2,000 per year on petrol. This is a large amount and it should be borne in mind that the cost of using a car also includes the cost of parking, maintaining and washing the car, as well as the cost of vehicle insurance and registration.

Experts have revealed various ways to reduce fuel costs. These include maintaining a constant speed, slowing the engine, and limiting the use of air conditioning.

We at JOBOBIKE know how you can cover your daily journey quickly, comfortably and extremely inexpensively. All you need to do is switch to an electric bike made of good components - one that runs on an electric motor rather than fuel.

Maintenance and operating costs of e-bikes

Buy

The price for a high-quality e-bike starts at €1000. It is worth choosing equipment from a reputable manufacturer that guarantees lower operating costs. When deciding on an e-bike, you should not only be guided by the price and quality of the bike, but also by its intended use. If you live in the country and travel on unpaved roads every day, you should choose a mountain bike or trail bike like the JOBOBIKE ROBIN, the JOBOBIKE EDDY or EDDY X or the JOBOBIKE BRUNO. If you live in the city, you can afford to buy a bike with narrower tires or smaller wheels. LINDA, JOBOBIKE LYON, JOBOBIKE VIVA and JOBOBIKE HENRY are ideal for the city.

Rechargeable

The batteries of the e-bikes are charged with the included charger. It takes 4-5 hours to fully charge the battery and, depending on the bike model, you can travel a maximum of 60 to 120 kilometers with such a battery. An e-bike does not use much electricity, so the cost of a 100km ride on an e-bike is around €0.5.

Operation

The costs of operating an e-bike are no different than those of using a conventional bicycle. Electric bikes require regular maintenance. However, these are repaired with parts such as tires, brake pads, chains and shock absorbers.

Every year we would spend around €150 using an e-bike.

Is it worth switching to an e-bike?

Of course it is! The annual cost of using an e-bike is at least 12 times lower than the annual cost of using a car! This is where e-bikes come into play. Switching to an e-bike not only saves money, but also time. joobike bikes, although assisted by pedals, are still legally bicycles. As such, they can be ridden on cycle paths. This makes traveling through the city much faster during rush hour. The bike has another advantage over the car - it can take you to the park from the normal route. If you wish, you can bypass the crowded city center and take a route through the greenery. Such outdoor activities will keep you entertained throughout the day!
