Looking for an economical way to get around campus this fall? Here’s why you should add a new e-bike to your back-to-school shopping list.

Affordability

Most college students are surviving on a shoestring budget, so shelling thousands out for gas and car repairs each year just isn’t realistic. With minimal maintenance and no trips to the gas station required, e-bikes are much more cost-efficient. You’ll also avoid costly parking passes since you can usually park e-bikes wherever bicycles are permitted.

Efficiency

Overslept and have to make it across a huge campus for your 8 a.m. in 5 minutes? With top speeds up to 30 mph, an e-bike can get you to class quickly, regardless of rough weather conditions or uphill routes. You’ll save valuable study time and get some extra shut-eye each morning.

Sustainability

Most college students are more aware of their environmental impact than generations before them. While cars can contribute to pollution and generate emissions, e-bikes are much more environmentally friendly and can travel up to 50 miles on a charge.
