Many people are looking at alternate ways of moving around the city to limit the amount of gasoline they consume because fuel prices don’t appear to be going down.
In this post, we’ll examine the major expenses associated with various modes of transportation so that you may choose your next vehicle with more money to spare.
Despite having lower fuel costs per mile than other options, electric automobiles are nonetheless expensive to buy and still contribute significantly to traffic congestion.
With a cost per mile of 7 or 8p, an electric automobile is comparable. An electric moped like the NIU MQi GT EVO, on the other hand, can travel about 50 kilometres on a single 1800Wh battery.
Let’s now examine the electric bike. The cost of a full charge for a 500Wh battery is approximately 15p.
With a range of approximately 50 miles and some work from your legs, the cost of each mile is only 0.3p.
| Cost per Mile | Cost per 100 Miles | Annual Cost | |
|---|---|---|---|
| eBike | 0.3p | £0.30 | £19 |
| eMoped | 1p | £1.00 | £63 |
| Petrol Moped | 7p | £7.00 | £441 |
| Electric Car | 8p | £8.00 | £504 |
| Petrol Car | 18p | £18 | £1,134 |
Here, five-mile journeys can be made more conveniently on a bike as an alternative to brief vehicle visits. Instead of totally replacing, fuel can be saved when it can be. Many of our customers opt to sell their second car and get an electric bike instead.
In comparison, an electric automobile would emit roughly 50g. As we can see from the chart above, switching from a gas-powered car to an electric bike will result in the most savings. Of course, this cannot be done for every journey, but it is not required. For some trips, using an eBike instead of a car will still result in significant financial savings and improve your health!

In the UK, electric bikes with throttle (that are faster than 15.5mph and 250watts) are not allowed on footpaths, cycle lanes, or roads. It is solely the customer’s duty to make sure that you adhere to all UK legal requirements when using your e-bike. The customer releases i-LAPS Ltd and its owners from any liability resulting from the usage of electric bikes and takes all responsibility and risk associated with their use.
