Just though I'd post my fuel comparisons for the last 8 weeks since owning my Pro-Connect.
This will hopefully inform any potential owners who are thinking of getting an ebike to save on buying fuel and helpful information to others.
BACKGROUND.
I used to use my car for all journeys both large or small in distance.
I own a 1.9litre common rail diesel with a average 40.9mpg return.
PRESENT SITUATION.
I only use my car now for large supermarket shopping, visits the recycling depot and long, out of city journey's.
If I go on any of these trips, while im out i drop of my clean shirts at work for my commute via home.
I now use my Pro-Connect for the majority of my trips for small shopping, commute to work, Haircuts, other shopping, trips to the DVD rental and drop off, trips to the Bank, visit to the city centre.
I used to spend £100 to £120 a month on petrol before.
I have now only used between £10 to £11 on petrol since owning the Pro-Connect.
That's an average saving of £95 each month.
The bike should have payed for it's self in 15 months.
People should also add to this, that my mileage on the clock have vastly decreased, which should benefit its resale value and wear and tear is greatly decreased on my car also.
Lets hope this may help someone to decide on buying an ebike, but feel that the large investment may be too much to eventually see a return.
This outcome has ment I have had to change my travelling habits considerably in the last few months.
Although this for me has been quite a pleasant experience.
Anyone else wishing to add their fuel saving experiences.
Regards Bob.
