Almost half of American workers say commuting to and from work is the worst part of their days. As a result, over a third would agree to take pay cuts in exchange for shorter daily commutes or, better yet, work-from-home setups. If this sounds like you, there may be a step you can take to make commuting a little less dreadful without having to reduce your salary.
More people are starting to use electric bikes to travel to and from work each day. It lets them get fresh air and beat traffic. It also lets them save money on fuel for their cars, which is no small thing when you consider how much a gallon of gas costs right now. Plus, e-bikes have never been more affordable than they are now. The Vivi Folding Fat Tire Electric Bike, for example, regularly retails for the already reasonable price of $700 at Walmart, and if you purchase one today, you can get it for just $430, thanks to a 39% discount.
Selling FastEquipped with a small but mighty 350W brushless motor, this e-bike can reach a top speed of 20 MPH. It also features a removable 48V 7.8Ah battery with a range of up to 40 miles, which can be recharged in just 4 to 6 hours. Both features are ideal for commuters, since they can make it possible for most people to travel to and from work on a single charge or recharge their batteries while in the office.
Additionally, the e-bike includes many other worthwhile features for daily commuters, such as a pair of fat tires that can traverse most terrains without a problem. It also boasts an intelligent LCD, enabling you to monitor everything from your speed and battery to your distance traveled and gear. Plus, it’s designed to fold up easily so you can tuck it into a corner, a closet, or even under your desk without sacrificing too much space.
“This is great for daily commutes,” one reviewer wrote. “It gets me about 30 miles each day and only takes up half the battery life.”
Another shopper added, “It gets me to work and back home again. I also use it on the weekends, and it’s very fun to ride in pedal-assist mode.”
