   “If you commute on an e-bike 20km a day, five days a week, your charging cost would be about $20 – annually.”

     @harold My commute is about 10km daily and I charge my 400Wh battery maybe twice a week, tops.

     @mapto @harold I've biked regular for years. The ebike is mainly to keep me biking also in winter, since the spiked wheels and snow add a fair amount of resistance, and I tended to switch to public transports for a few months.

     @pettter @harold mine is also ~10km and I am fine with a non-electric bike. Have you considered this option and could you share some pros/cons? In my case I care more of the exercise than of the actual commute, as I can also travel by metro train.
