Doing a little math on fuel savings
With the price of gasoline today , I spend about 5 bucks a day on this commute
If the bike costs me 2500 dollars I would need to do 500 commutes to break even
That probably works out to about 5 years if I do all the charging at work.
Works out to about 12,500 miles
How much maintenance would be needed in that time?
Tires?
Chain?
Sprockets?
How about battery life? That should be only 500 cycles and not deep discharge
