Car Free Day 2022: Why you should try an eBike Commute

Hot Read Hot read Sep 22

With eMobility products becoming increasingly popular it has never been easier to celebrate ‘Car Free Day’. A few years ago the thought of switching out your traffic laden car commute for a ‘cycle to work’ routine may have seemed like a distant dream. Worries of walking into work in a sweaty mess, or worse not getting to work on time at all, created barriers for many people. The modern addition of battery powered motors to bikes and scooters takes some of the effort out of your journey, making even the hilliest routes possible by bike. The rise of eMobility products offer that extra push, quite literally, that we all need to ditch our daily car commute.

Still need convincing? We’re here to break down our top 3 reasons to join the millions of others who are riding swiftly into the world of eMobility. Remember, this doesn’t have to be an ‘all or nothing change’, we challenge you to go ‘car free’ a couple of times a week and see the benefits for yourself. Small changes are always better than none.

1. You will save money                              

In our current climate, where the cost of living seems ever-increasing, money saving seems to be at the front of everyone’s mind. The rise in the cost of fuel is a huge incentive for people to start going ‘car free’, especially those who have a lengthy, bank-draining commute into work everyday. After the initial purchase, there are little costs to commuting with an eBike other than the energy it takes to charge the battery.

2. It’s better for the planet

Unlike cars, which release harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, eBikes are a form of zero emission transport. They offer a sustainable solution to the impact that cars are having on our planet, with the ability to reduce car CO2 emissions by 24.4 million tonnes per year in England alone. As a sustainability conscious company, which plants a tree for every Reid purchased around the world, the environmental benefits of going car free are something we feel strongly about.

3. It can improve your mental wellness

Lastly, cycling into work is fun! Skip the draining trappings of never-ending traffic and engage with your outdoor environment. A cycle commute allows you to get some fresh air and easily incorporate a bit of exercise, which is especially good for those who work an office job and may be sat inside for most of the day. You can see your city from a new perspective by bike, finding new routes and places to explore. Leaving your car behind and embracing two wheels can turn your monotonous commute into a fun adventure, so why not give it a go?
