I really do want an EV. [ Electric Vehicle ]Car, but maybe an E-Bike.
Remember that the monthly payments for an EV [car] will not even phase you. Why?
Simple, you are not paying $300 per month for gas so your budget remains about the same.
For an E-Bike at about $1200, you can probably buy new for cash. No payments!
Amazing, but true. In B.C. Canada, where I live, [Vancouver Island], you can buy an E-Bike, [looks like a motorcycle] new, for only $900 to $1300, but aside from no gas to buy. . . get this:
[1] An E-Bike does not require a driver*s license.
[2] An E-Bike does not require registration.
[3] An E-Bike does not require INSURANCE.
- - [ I would get some PL insurance . in case you flatten somebody]
This miracle of economy may be due to government wanting to encourage a move away from gas dependency and air pollution.
Check your state or province regulations to see if an E-Bike could save you a bundle of green backs.
The world is weird. E-Bikes are sold through our local computer dealer.
With no gas, no oil, and few moving parts, EVs are virtually maintenance free so there is not much service work for a bike shop to look forward to. Maybe that*s why they do not sell E-Bikes.
Service work pays their $90 shop hour rate after all.
I could not believe all this good stuff until October 11th/06 when I read all these facts in our syndicated local news paper.
The new 2007 models are even more comfortable to ride, have a longer range and new features like motor lock-out and wireless remote security alarm. You need a pick-up truck to steal it.
The Canadian version comes with a big maple leaf on the front. Optional is a suspension feature making the E-Bike ride more like a motorcycle. Takes the rough stuff better.
Improved high torque motors and batteries allows 50 miles between recharging. [plugs in at home or work]. Many Box stores have pugins for senior electric EVs. So plug in while you shop.
A re-charge will add a featherweight 6 - 20 cents to your hydro bill. If you get caught out of charge, you can pedal it like a normal bike.
