Recently I have been doing a lot of research into electric bikes.  An electric bike is a great way to save money instead of wasting it on gas.  According to several manufacturer’s electric bikes can travel approximately 30 miles on less then $0.50 of electricity.  If you compare this to $3.00 or more per gallon of gasoline an electric bike might be a transportation option for you.  For $3.00 worth of electricity you can travel 300 miles.

Another advantage to using an electric bike is the savings you will realize in car insurance.  You do not have to have insurance on your bike.

When an electric bike might be right for your commute?

1. When you work in the suburb where you live.
2. When you are attending college.
3. When your commute does not require the use of the highway.
4. If you live in warm weather locations.
5. When you can no longer afford to keep your car. 

Electric bikes operate at speeds up to approximately 18 to 20 miles per hour.  You merely plug the bike into an outlet and let the battery charge.  You can even save more money by charging it at work on your employers bill:.)
