A few weeks ago, it looked like the national average price per gallon of gas would soon surpass $5. Thankfully, it has started moving in the other direction and could drop below $4 in the not-too-distant future. Still, you shouldn’t let this stop you from looking for ways to cut your fuel consumption to save money, since gas remains significantly more expensive than many Americans are used to.
One way to make your monthly fuel expenses more manageable is to invest in an electric bike and ride it as often as possible, thereby minimizing your reliance on gas. Walmart has a bunch of these bikes in stock, on sale, and ready to ship right now, including the Gocio 500W Electric Bike. It usually retails for $560, but as part of an ongoing flash deal, it has been discounted by nearly 40% and currently costs only $340.
39% OffThis electric bike is equipped with a powerful 500W motor that can help it reach speeds of almost 20 MPH. It’s also outfitted with a 48V 374Wh removable battery that lets you ride in pedal-assist mode for up to 30 miles. Furthermore, you can charge the battery within six hours in most cases, enabling you to ride the bike to work in the morning, recharge its battery while you’re there, and then ride it back home at night — all without using a single drop of gas.
This bike doesn’t stop there, either. It features an LCD screen, allowing you to monitor everything from your speed to your battery life in real time. It also offers plenty of storage, with a front basket and a rear rack that can support up to 30 pounds. Plus, its rugged 26-inch tires and responsive disc brakes make it remarkably safe to ride, even in a big city that can put a lot of different obstacles in your way.
“This is a very comfortable bike,” one reviewer wrote. “It’s also easy to pedal, and when I ride it for 5 miles, it doesn’t reduce the battery life at all.”
“Riding this bike is amazing,” another reviewer remarked. “It has exceeded all my expectations! I can’t think of a single downside to riding it.”
