Given the inflation-bloated costs of owning a car—insurance, fuel, buying the dang thing in the first place—you may be looking for a cheaper way to get yourself where you need to go. If you’re comfortable braving the elements, an eBike might be the answer you need (they’re not just for UberEats deliveries anymore).
The BirdBike eBike is a quick, functional eBike with a max range of 50 miles, and you can currently pick one up on sale for $999.99, around 57% off the usual price of $2,299.
Use an eBike for your daily commute
The BirdBike A-Frame Stealth Black eBike has a 500W motor and a max speed of 20 miles per hour. You can ride it using only the engine or activate its pedal-assist mode to extend the battery life. Either way, you could conceivably use it to arrive at the office having spent $0 on gas (and dramatically reducing your carbon footprint).
The BirdBike’s maximum range depends on the riding mode. If you’re only using the engine, one charge can take you up to 20 miles. The range increases to 50 miles when you use pedal-assist mode. You can monitor your distance traveled, battery life, speed, and more using the embedded dash display. Even with the LCD display, the BirdBike is still IP65 water resistant. The reviews are good, too: It has a 4.9-star rating on TrustPilot.
It’s important to note that this eBike model has a tall frame and could be uncomfortable for riders of certain heights. As such, BirdBike recommends this eBike for users who are 5 foot,8 inches and taller. There is also a max weight capacity of 265 pounds.
BirdBikes ship disassembled, but once they’re put together, they are reliable commuter bikes with advanced specs, including a security system controlled through the BirdBike app. If someone tries to take your bike while the security system is activated, it will produce a 120-decibel anti-theft alarm (that’s roughly as loud as a rock concert). The alarm will also sound if someone bumps your bike too hard, so make sure to disable it before hopping on.
