You’ll get wet when it rains. You’ll be colder when it’s cold and you’ll be warmer when it’s warm, but you’ll enjoy your rides.

I know this one. You would have one e-bike more, and one car less.

The most enjoyable part of my working day is cycling to work and cycling home again.

The changes ive seen to my mental health are amazing since ive started comuting only by bike a year ago

I was legally blinded a few years ago and no longer able to drive , so I pedal everywhere now , it's not always easy, but I thank God that I can still do it 😊

Full time ebiker here, 365, even through the snowy Canadian mountain winter where I live ( I go studded tires). You are right that the #1 most important piece of advice is "don't cheap out". Buy the best bike you can afford. Like you my decision wasn't about the environment, but cost.

Tomorrow I will sell my 4Runner and I will buy a e-bike my job is about 2 or 3 blocks from my house.

I love my car. I also hate the idea of buying a new one with what they cost. My ebike allows me to keep miles off the car and use it when I want to, not have to. Also has saved me thousands in fuel and maintenance reduction (actually tens of thousands probably)

I couldn’t afford a 3000$ e bike unfortunately. I did buy one for 1200$ for my first one and I hope it pans out for a while. We lost our car a few mths ago and I’m excited for a lifestyle change.

I bought a 2021 Trek Allant Plus S7 and have since put 6400 miles on it and about 900 miles in 2024 alone. I feel better when riding. The birds are my radio. The smell of trees and flowers is my air-freshener. People who wouldn't give me a glance in a vehicle will smile and say hi when I'm pedaling. Even children, who I will not look their way if I'm driving will give me a smile and a wave when I'm bicycling. I can't get rid of my car, Idaho Winters will not allow it. But during the warmer months the car parks in the garage. I love cycling!

Nice video. I got rid of my car in January 2011. I haven’t needed to buy one since. One thing I can recommend is looking into car share services. They offer access to a car for the few times you really need it without all the baggage that comes from owning a car. Anyway, I really enjoyed your perspective! Enjoy your bike and be safe 😊

For the people who want to get an e-bike, don't buy the name-brand ones, they charge a premium that's unjustifiably high, instead you just choose a nice regular bike you like and get a Bafang e-bike kit, it's a mid-drive motor, this will save you thousands. Of course, if you don't mind giving thousands away or that you don't wanna build an e-bike yourself (there are tons of step by step tutorials), just get any e-bike you can find, some bike shops also sell ready made e-bikes with Bafang (and other brands) mid-drive motors. Other than saving money, the more important reason I'm recommending this is that these name brand bikes have increasingly locked down proprietary software and hardware, with the goal of making repairs impossible and having a complete control over what we bought, this already happened to everything we paid money for from phones to computers to appliances, bikes are our last refuge, we need to do everything we can to fight this and not reward and grow the companies that are dragging us to the same anti-consumer hell hole.

I have a non-e bike (just a bike) that I commute in and my mental health has benefitted tremendously. Driving in traffic is not a great way to chill out after work. Used to hate driving to the store for just eggs, now I'll go gladly. I have extra bikes (mountain bike and my wife's) and my friends and family are always like "no, let's just drive to the bakery" when they visit but then later they're like "let's go for another bike ride"

not getting a car and getting an e-bike was one of the best choices I've ever made. sure rain sucks but damn is it good exercise. great vid!

Love this idea. I’ve been going down the e-bike black hole here on KZfaq. And I’m ready to get rid of the car for sure. Having three kids is the main issue haha. Being connected to the community and getting fresh air is a major plus. Great video!

This is an excellent video. The commentary, the filming, all top notch.

Excellent video! Makes me want to go ride. I commute to work about 1/3 of the year and I love it. I don't have an e-bike but the sense of peace I have when I get to work is the best. It just sets the tempo for a great day!

Thanks! This is a great video - encouraging and inspiring! I ride my bike and ebike as much as possible for my own needs and errands. But my husband is too visually impaired to drive or ride a bike, so I drive him to work and all the places he needs to go. We’re 70, and I love my bike and ebike! Thanks again Eric!

In my area there are quite a few households who have replaced one of their 2 cars with an e-bike. I kept my old, paid-off car when I bought an e-bike 4 years ago and that’s allowed me to stretch out its useful life for a few extra years. To make it easier, I moved 5 miles closer to my friends and the places I typically go. Once the car needs a really expensive repair, I’ll get rid of it and transition to car-share, carpooling, or Lyft for some nearby stuff, and car rentals, buses, trains, and planes for longer trips.

Very well done. Thanks for producing and posting.

I did just that. Only it was a recumbent e-trike.. I have a 200 mile range.. I have full coverage and liability including road side assistance/tow... I was spending over $400 per month on the car..repairs, gas, insurance, parking... Now i save $400 per month.. it now only cost $0.17 to charge my batteries that provide 200 miles..

Main thing I’ve noticed (no e-bike yet, but doing pretty well whatever I can by analog bike) - no more “autopilot/ I don’t remember the drive home”, ever bike trip is memorable in a way car trips just blend into the monotony - even if it’s just to get groceries.

I like how you went over different parts of your life and how the bike can affect that.

I love everything you mentioned here. I can't wait to move to a centrally located city so I can sell my car. Bravo!! New subscriber here! Keep making videos! You're a natural.

There is an easy way for the US to make biking safer and with less conflict between cars and bikers... Just build dedicated and safe bike lanes, separated from traffic, preferably in nice and enjoyable green environments. That's what we do in Sweden and to be honest, it's one of the best investments a city can make. Because it takes away car ridership. Because people can choose to bike safely instead of feeling the need to own a car. I remember when they built a new bike line from the suburbs to the city 30 years ago. It has never been repaired, and there's not a single pot hole in it and the surface is still super smooth. why? Well, there's no real weight put on the asphalt for it to crack, and since there's no crack, the asphalt doesn't rupture due to rain, snow, ice, and hot weather.

From my experience, even if I bought a new ebike every year, and I took a taxi into work on bad weather days, working 5 days a week, I'm still saving thousands of dollars a year. People don't believe that because either don't know how expensive cars are, or they've accepted it as a fact of life.

great video! I haven't given up the car, but became about a 80%-20% bike commuter for work, and use it for about 60-%40 on errands etc. and you were spot on!

I've been a long-distance bicycle commuter, since 2005. I was already car-free (I was a skateboard/bus commuter, before I got a job in an area with no bus service). I made the switch to an e-bike about three years ago. I love this thing. It flattens the hills. It allows me to haul stuff in my trailer that used to be huge chore. I occasionally still take my "pedal bike" out, around the neighborhood, but the e-bike is now my main ride.

Thanks for making this video !! I love the Internet❤

just found this channel, great video man loved the editing and information you gave

I did this myself back at the start of the pandemic. When work shifted to remote, I really didn't need the car anymore (I loved my Chevy Volt). I sold my car at CarMax, used those funds to get my eBike, and never looked back. No car insurance. No car payment. No oil change. No car inspection. No worrying about traffic tickets. No worrying about car accidents. With the right equipment, I can go grocery shopping, to the Dr Office, out to eat, out to the local coffee shop to work, and visit friends. Everything Erics says about meeting friendly people wanting to talk about your bike is true. There are tons of little things that make bike commuting enjoyable. My only downside is that I had a friend who disapproved of my decision which strained our relationship.

My ebike is the best thing ive ever purchased. It has done so much for me... for my life. It feels close to me like a family member. Treats me better than my mother ever did.

Great video, love the unbiased perspective

Eric, nicely done. Enjoy your bike freedom!

Many people can't do this at all so it's great you were able to!

Great message Eric, inspired me for sure!

Thanks for the video. Loved it. I ran numbers on how much our cars were costing us, and because of this we're moving closer to the city, bought a Prius, are parking one truck, and buying two e-bikes.

I currently own one new car (commuter) because my home base is Texas which is a sprawl, one Truck, one road bike. (retired), one HT trail bike, One gravel bike I took with me to Washington and as of this past weekend - one fat tire Ebike. I feel like this was the best purchase I made this year bc I can see now how enriched life can be on this thing. Really loved the premise of this video and stumbled upon it whilst doing some basic spec research on mileages. Only a few days into owning this and I'm already aware I need to cut the ownership down a few notches and sell off a car and a few bikes. Keep up the shares man!

I did. Its been great. I got cold and wet once and did a little Amazon shopping for rain suit and snow gear. I have no car payment, no insurance payment, and no gas bill. I had a 4x4 avalanche previously. It's so quiet plus i have a Bluetooth helment for tunes. I also have racks I can interchange with an extra seat and an xlg dog trailer for bigger groceries.

Hi, I live in Europe and recently I have started commuting by ebike. My city subsidies a company that rents an ebikes for $18 per month. I love this bike and I love this everyday trip (I have 10 miles distance to ride). The only concern I have is that since ebikes are so expensive, I do affraid leaving it in the grocery store bike stand.

Awesome video! For the rain, I've heard rain capes are really nice, although I haven't actually used one. If I was riding in rain more often I'd probably get one

I’m 44 and never had a license. I’ve moved from NC to OR on a bicycle, and own a bosch powered DIamondback union 2. I love it. It’s my commuter, my fitness rider, and my adventure bike all in one.

My boyfriend did this a month and a half ago, and I haven't seen him so happy and excited before. He got an e-bike secondhand for $600 and bikes to work five days a week. He seems so freespirited without his car. I was inspired to follow him (Though I will still be keeping my car, hopefully this means less spending on gas). I'm getting my bike this Saturday and I can't wait for all the adventures we're going to have!

Literally just took the plunge and sold the car and bought an e-bike yesterday (probably why the algorithm gave me this video lol). Can’t wait to start commuting and adventuring on my new bike 😊

Love the intro. Great storytelling 😊

Never been an e-bike person but I’m 21 I drive a 5.0L V8 mustang as my daily driver, my monthly payment is $680 and insurance is another $380 and fuel with my “heavy” foot is about $250 a month that’s $1110 a month on my car not counting maintenance or other things that can happen. I just sent the last payment for my car, after working hard to pay it off and I’m done with getting scammed on insurance and not having money to live and enjoy life. My plan now is to get an e-bike not selling my car however won’t go that far I will just put it on non-op and take off insurance and store the car in my garage. The bike I’ve been looking at if a $3500 Talaria XXX they can do about 50mph good range and they look nice. I can’t wait to start my e bike journey and start living life with more money in my pocket to do things I want 💯💯 not only that saving over 1k a month will help me pay off other debt which I have a total debt of about 9k from a personal loan and family, so paying 9k will be a breeze and when all that’s payed off I will hope to be debt free by my mid 22s and travel the world for some time 🌎

Well done! Amazing video.

thanks for the vid! I did this a month ago and I have noticed financial stress is so much less! no registration fees to dread, no services to put off. only thing is i ride a mid range road bike because in Australia ebikes are speed limited to 25kmh and thats not as fun as getting into an aero position and hitting 35 on a road bike. happy riding!

Cool video, I've had my pedal assist eBike for coming up to 6 years (since 2018), more than 7000km of short trips. Gradually phasing out car trips instead of going 'cold turkey' like you, recently added a trailer so can now do grocery shopping on the eBike, started off with 1-2 work commutes per week & increased from there 🚴

Good Morning, I just subscribed to ur channel. My E-bike is my main source of transportation. Before I bought it, I used to ride the bus, I quit driving years ago. I bought my e-bike 14 months ago (March 2023) from Ride the Glide, a local e-bike shop and I rode over 6,000 miles. My e-bike has changed my life completely and I absolutely love it. Back in July 2021 I fractured my spine and I had 3 crush virtabre bones in my lower back, I couldn't feel my legs and walking would hurt my back very much. So, I use pedal assist 3 and ride about 10-15 MPH on average and I ride about a distance of about 15-25 miles on daily rides. Now I DON'T hardly have any back pain and have full mobility of my back and continue to ride. I still have 3 crush bones, but I don't hardly feel the pain because of my e-bike. Thank You & Good Video 😎

My 1000watt fat tire 20ah ebike is my 2 wheeled work truck, bicycle and motorcycle all in one. couldn't be happier.

I've been commuting 3 years now. Living in Kingston Ontario means I have snow tires for my ebike. Have a Trek as well but last year bought a specialized with a belt drive. Less maintenance.

Great video! I have been riding my ebike to commute everyday 42 kms in total in Perth Australia and I haven't own a car in the last 14 years! 😊

I'm not on an ebike, but I have an escooter (Gotrax Flex Ultra). Can't tell you how immensely this thing improved so much of my daily life. I don't work far from home so commuting to work isn't a problem. Also, I don't hate going to the grocery store or going on a food trip. I would ride to the front door of Ralph's, walk in the store with my escooter, put the items im buying in the basket of my escooter, pay at self check out, and then ride off! Even went into the McDonald's drive thru with the thing and it makes all the small tasks fun!

Thanks for the video, really enjoyed watching it and fully understand your choice :). I'm an avid cyclist since my childhood and being in Germany it's fairly easy to just use everyday. I'm riding several older non-e bikes, my girlfriend has an e-Bike and it's been our main transportation within the city and beyond. And if the weather is really too bad (which happens just a handful of times over the year) we can always hop on public transportation if we need to get somewhere. Our "latest" discovery are folding bikes. I did pick up an old one last year which turned out to be a really awesome bike. Since you can take it for free on city transport or trains it's just easy to take it if you go for a weekend trip. And discovering new places by bike is always the best :).

Although I can’t get rid of my car, I did invest about $1000 on a new bike and some kit. I intend to run errands on weekends with it, or maybe after work if there’s time. I work from home, so car usage is already pretty sparse for me unless I go out of town occasionally. Bike ridership is a challenge outside of urban areas however. I’ll need to share the road and use backstreets when available.

Best regards fro, Germany from someone who commutes to work (10 miles) by EBike on a daily base and who‘s wife does the same. I fully agree to all that was mentioned - the bike commuting situation is propably better in Europe. Have always a safe trip.

My e bike is my go to transportation for running local errands. I have a public library, 2 grocery stores, my pharmacy and a super Walmart within a two mile radius of my house. I can pick up my prescriptions and a week’s worth of grocery staples using my e bike. I have 125 miles on it so far. That is just over one tank of gas in my motorcycle.

I use armor-dilloz inside my tires, double the recommended amount. In 2500 mikes I got 2 punctures i know about, just lost a few psi. I also use Bluetooth tire pressure sensors, makes checking the tires pressure easy

Cool video. Thanks 🙏🏼

Love my ebike, we share a car between 3 of us and the ebikes get used plenty. Here in the uk though its tough with the weather , terrible roads and drivers and bike theft, I get around that with good clothing, good locks and staying off road as much as possible. One thing is certain , i enjoy riding the bike a lot more than driving the car.

I did the same, although I never owned a car, but having an Ebike make mobility so more accessible than before for me. we just need to push for more bikealbe city wherever we are.

I made custom e bike, 500W motor and 48V24 Ah battery, total cost was 1600$, range w/o pedals assist is 100 km when 30 kph speed and 70 km when averaging 40 kph speed. I usually don't use legs because I don't like to sweat, only spinning pedals when I am cold. E Bike is the best thing ever I bought, probably even more fun than PC.

What a super nice video, thank you.

Rain! My waterproof jacket does its job really well and lives in the pannier most of the time. On rare occasions I have gone out without the jacket and had a soaking. Because I am generating heat I dry out quickly and luckily I’m human and not made of sugar! Carrying a ‘buff’ is useful too. It just stops those few drops of rain getting past the neck of your jacket. The rain is never as bad as you imagine it will be.

I just recently bought a basket for my bicycle, hoping to start grocery shopping with it. My grocery stores are between 1 and 4 miles away, depending on which one I want (from Aldi to Co-op). I can take mostly lakeside trails with a few blocks of suburban residential streets for the co-op... But need to cross a highway for the cheaper options. I'm hoping at least during the non-freezing months, I can do this. If so, I might invest in an e-bike. I wouldn't sell my car nor motorcycle... But I would get exercise I desperately need, and reduce vehicular usage expenses. My return on investment would be much longer, but I still think it could be worth it. Thanks for sharing your experience! Pretty cool.

After my car getting totalled in 2021, I knew that was the sign to make the ebike my daily commuter. Can't recommend it enough

I've been ebiking since 2011, but i never sold my car. I just drive it drastically less. I filled up my tank for the second time this year... in May.

This video was great! I haven't sold my car, but since early 2022 I have been riding e-bikes almost exclusively, long distance trips I still use a vehicle. I have done some long distance trips with my bikes though, it's something that I plan, charging points and such. I own a commuter and a cargo model, I have two batteries for each plus accessories and a trailer, so it hasn't really been about cost saving. Between the two bikes and all of the added things it's more than my Honda Civic is worth, but I ride one of them every day. I've ridden 14k miles between the two since 2022 and don't intend to quite riding, barring something that forces me to do so. They have been extremely reliable so no complaints there and now my community knows me as the guy that is out riding year round. At this point I feel like people would be disappointed if I started driving a car more instead.

I know, I've done it the past 3 years, even as a single father with a grade school aged son, we ride through rain, sleet or snow, as well as brutal heat in Reno, & it's been 1 of the best decisions I've ever made in my life!

This also pretty much all applies to just about any PEV too, so if you're not into a bike, there are also Escooters, EUC, and even onewheels.

I enjoy cycling everywhere when I do shopping I use my cargo trailer I just love it

I’m a car guy and never plan on selling my car realistically because to me it’s more then just driving the car…but I’ve biked ever since I could remember and a majority of my life during my childhood was spent biking…I also biked to school for about 6 years back when I was in middle/high school. Few years ago I started getting the biking itch that I haven’t had in a while so decided to build myself a E-mountain bike. Let’s just say it’s been awesome…it definitely forces me to go outside on days where I wouldn’t have much to do outside in the first place and being able to ride my bike and do simple tasks that I could of used my car for is very relaxing and enjoyable.

Some have no choice. I might not be able to pass my next vision test for a car license, so I already have it figured. The nearest town is within range using vacated back roads. What me worry?🙂

A lot of things can happen if I swap my small car for an e-bike, but if I end up living in Manchester, CT...I'm out!

Wife and I ditched our car for a motor scooter first, then got an ebike since we live off grid, and producing electricity is easier than producing our own gasoline. Eventually got a second ebike, and the two of those keep us going!

I live in a small town in Western Canada, I have an active outdoor job (HD Mechanic)... I still have a truck, I use it when I need it to do truck things, but I also have a small stable of bikes; an old 90s steel mountain bike with the full "Dad Bike" treatment, a hard tail mountain bike, a gravel bike and a fat tire e-bike. In fair weather I can do all of my grocery runs and general getting around with just the bikes and, with proper tires and gear, still do a fair bit even in our cold and snowy winters. I don't think I'll be selling my truck anytime soon but I can save a lot using it only when I really need it.

I enjoyed that. A nice, friendly, sensible assessment of ebike ownership. I am 70: Live in the UK: Cycle regularly: Thinking (long term) of ditching the car. I seem to use the car mainly as Grandad's taxi and to meet up with people who live further than 20 miles away. My 'analogue' bike is a Cube Touring and I also own a MiRiderGB3 folding electric bike. I was planning to put the MiRider in the car and drive places to cycle; that hasn't happened once! I find the MiRider a bit too small and cramped for me, and the claimed 45 mile range to be fantasy. I managed 27 miles on it three days ago on a level, ex-railway path. That was mainly level 1 and 2 assistance and, at times, no assistance at all; The battery was dead by the time I got home. So, the point I am making is that one needs to choose an ebike carefully, which I clearly didn't. In the UK we are limited to a 15.5 mph maximum assistance limit on ebikes. That sounds rubbish but, in my experience, any faster in cool weather requires warmer clothing, and faster cycling speeds make it harder for drivers to overtake us on our (extremely) crowded roads. I think that there are probably a lot more impatient drivers on UK roads, due to overcrowding and, as I am also a lifelong motorcyclist, I can tell you that driving standards are nowhere near good enough.Too many drivers seem to lack the ability to keep a safe distance or overtake safely, and I feel much safer on a motorcycle than I do a bicycle because I can power myself clear of the danger. Nevertheless, I think it is inevitable, given my advancing years and the way the environmental wind is blowing, that I will sell my motorcycle soon and invest in a decent ebike. Your video has re-inspired me, so I thank you for that young man. 🙂

how has this guy only 250 subs its so good content

Great vid, would love to do this if my family werent 6 hours away!

I never gave up cycling, now in my mid 50's I was an early adopter to Ebike's got my first Ebike around 2001 and have never been so happy, e biking is a great way for me to get around London.

Interesting vid, love my Ebbs, tbh I could sell my car but use the bike as much as I can

For people struggling with helmet hair, under helmet caps / skull caps help to prevent the worst. They also protect you from the elements and keep the inside of your helmet clean.

Awesome stuff!

Also the option to rent a car for super big trips or just when biking wouldn't be practical! Great vid!

I have a 1996 Oldsmobile, it's in fairly good condition and it gets OK gas mileage. And in the cost of basic maintenance and insurance, I could buy a new ebike every year and still spend less than owning that car. This is before concerning myself at all with fuel and tolls, that's extra money I'd never have to spend on top of never having to change motor oil ever again. Folks always stop at gas prices and forget the big picture.

Sold my truck last weekend. Bought an ebike and a train ticket this week. Cancled my insurance too. Im a month in riding so far 240 miles this month. Its fun

I've always been a cyclist as a means to get from A to B. Bikes are just a win on so many accounts in my book, which your video covered very well. We did opt to keep our 1 family car, but both my wife & I have an annual target of each putting more miles on the bikes than on the car collectively, and given that's no longer a challenge we might have to up the stakes! Unfortunately e-bikes are a bit more restricted over here in the UK, limited to 15.5mph instead of 20(?)mph, and a 250w motor. They're still worth it for some people, especially in urban or hilly areas, but I'll continue to be a fan of the humble "acoustic" bike, mainly because I know how to take one apart and service it! As for what we should be doing for the environment, bikes + e-bikes are leagues above electric cars. The battery from one electric car could power 100-200 e-bikes (~50-80kwh car vs ~500wh for a bike), and then you've got all the other considerations of space on the road, parking, tyre wear etc. A recent stat I heard was that if globally everyone cycled as much for transport as the Dutch do, we'd be saving 700 million tons Co2 annually.

Hey Eric, Did you ever ridden the Potrero loop?? Newbury park to Thousand Oaks to Westlake Village back to Newbury park(Hidden Valley., Lake Sherwood area)!!I did it a lot in the 70s and 80s!! I loved it!!

Congratulations. Well done and utterly charming. You've also stressed a very important factor that's not often mentioned: the increased contact with people you get when not driving a car. Whether you're on foot, on a bicycle or an E-bike, you simply have more connection with the outside world, including nature, than when you're in a steel box. I too sold my car and bought a bike.. It's also a Trek, but an 850 14 speed bicycle that I got for $350 new. This coincided, not accidentaly, with my move from California to Europe forty years ago. I commute daily and take my bike on public or on the train for longer distances. It works fine for me, and there are rental cars when I have heavy loads to move. This is of course much easier to do in Europe, where public transportation is real and bike lanes are ubiquitous. But things are (slowly) changing in the States as well. Nice work. Subscribed. Cheers from rainy Vienna, Scott

In the Netherlands we don't dresse for a e-bike ride, just coulorfull clothes even a suite and for rain we use special rainclothes over all. Greetings from the Netherlands.

My answer is that I won't be able to get to work on time. My sleep schedule is fucked and I wake up just in time to drive to work in time for the first daily meeting. If I slow down to use an e-bike, I'd have a serious risk of getting run over by commuters in a hurry and I'd be late to my meeting. If there were protected bikelanes and side walks on the route I might be able to get there safely, but there isn't any of that, just a 2-lane road with no side walks and a few house driveways.

I got that same bike, really love it!

This is funny to me. I haven't owned a car ever and haven't ever owned an ebike either. I did hire a car/van on a few occasions though to haul large items such as floor standing speakers. But a car is really mostly a thing that's funny to have if you have money burning in your pocket. The three primary reasons for me not to change from a bike to an ebike are: - you don't get any exercise, so endurance declines - the risk of a flat battery - the cost of it makes it a target for thieves.

Awesome video, man

I have a non e-bike but I'd love to be able to ride E-bikes to work everyday if only it was legalized on busy roads in my country. Anyway, I'm still happy to be able to ride non e-bike to work 🥰 Good video it motivates me to continue riding!

i have a 1997 mazda miata and a ride1up gravel roadster. i ride my roadster everywhere i need to go and my miata gets to stay in the canyons on the weekends. perfect balance

In short life overall becomes better, even with any difficulty and downsides taken into account. You need a positive and adaptable personality to overcome idiots, weather and any bike issues but you grow with the bike and soon adapt. In 3 years from buying a Bosch eBike, which gave me the ability to progress onto normal bikes, I have lost 124lb/56kg, reversed diabetes, gained new friends and a much better appreciation of my local area. We keep one car now but use it very rarely as we have the clothes, trailer, luggage, organisation and attitude to deal with most trips. Best thing is that a fleet of wonderful, rare, quirky, unusual and interesting bikes (with the owners clubs and social side too) cost a fraction of even one terrible car. Starting with an eBike was the best life change I ever made and any downsides are nothing compared to the huge upsides.

I’ve never owned a car. I’m 46. That’s a hell of a lot of saving. I used to use public transport to get to work and now I work remotely. People love their cars and there are some advantages but for sure way more people could be doing this.

Awesome video man
