"The annual cost of owning a car is over $15,000, whereas an e-bike costs you just a bit more than $1,000 per year. This stark contrast highlights the financial benefits of e-bike ownership over traditional vehicles."
"A rebate voucher can go up to $1,500 per e-bike off. With the rising gas prices, there is hope that more people will transition from car ownership to e-bike ownership, making it a viable transportation solution."
