Hey everyone!
I’m curious to hear from people who’ve made the switch from a car to an e-bike for their daily commute. I’ve been seriously considering it lately — not just to reduce my carbon footprint but also to save on fuel and parking costs.
I live about 7 miles from my workplace, and the roads are generally safe for cycling. I’ve done some research and saw that newer e-bikes can handle this distance pretty easily without draining the battery too much. But I still have a few concerns:
- How reliable are e-bikes during rainy weather?
- Do you really feel the benefit on hilly routes?
- What’s the battery life like over time?
- Is maintenance a big issue?
If you’ve switched or even tried using an e-bike regularly, I’d love to hear your honest experience — pros, cons, anything you wish you knew before starting.
Thanks in advance!
