Pedelecs: comfortable, cheap and faster

10 reasons why the pedelec will catch on as a form of transport.
 

 
3. Comfortable, cheap and and definitely faster than a car around town

Compared to public transport or cars, pedelecs are in general considerably more affordable. Costs for a pedelec currently stand at just € 40 per month (2) or less, including depreciation of purchase cost, maintenance and wear.

(2) Calculations by ExtraEnergy based on market values from the previous year. As a basis for calculation the lifespan of a pedelec including batteries was taken as 4 years or 19,200 km, alongside a kWh price of € 0.2, plus annual repair and spares cost of € 150. Alternatively the figure of € 40 per month for motivational leasing via an employer could be used, in which a pedelec to a value of € 1,800 would be leased over a period of three years for € 38.01 per month.
