I just got my first e-bike (pedal assist) 3 days ago mainly to commute 25 miles round trip at night. Being self employed I can be working/commuting/ any time/several times during a 24 hour period 7 days a week. I have been riding non powered bikes for day time duties for the last 1+ years as I was tired of paying high prices to the oil barrons for fuel and finaly said enough is enough.
Commuting just during the day proved how much money I save in fuel and now commuting day and night by bike is even a better savings! Traveling home at 3:00 am after 6-8 hours of work I thought the help of a pedal assist bike would be helpful and I hope to put the money saved in fuel away for retirement.
