How to save money with a Capri electric bike

What would you think if we told you this pre-Christmas season that a Capri electric bike would save you money? Not only do you contribute to protecting the planet, but your economy will also benefit. Want to find out how much you’ll stop spending?

A recoverable investment

It is no secret that petrol and diesel prices are skyrocketing. Filling up a car’s tank, only half full, has become prohibitively expensive. Would you like to stop spending so much money on fuel and at the same time be more supportive and environmentally friendly? Using a Capri e-bike for your urban journeys is an excellent decision. Before you know it, you will have amortised the cost.

In general, you can buy an electric Capri bike in the price range of 1500 to 2200 euros. Thus, the Berlin 7V is one of the company’s most economical options. Once this outlay has been made, vehicle maintenance is virtually non-existent. For your daily commute to work, you will spend between 10 and 20 euros per year. Don’t you think it’s too little?

Now think about how much you spend per week on petrol when making these same journeys. Given the state of fuel prices and galloping inflation, it is almost incalculable. Roughly speaking, with an average car, at a cost of approximately two euros per litre of fuel, you will spend 160 euros.

And considerable savings

With an electric bike, however, let’s say you recharge at 0.35 euros per kilowatt hour. Two or three full charges, depending on the bike’s motor and battery, would be enough to cover the 100 kilometres. In other words, we would be talking about a monthly cost of around one euro, or two euros at most.

In short, we are talking about saving more than 150 euros per 100 kilometres. Check Google Maps and calculate how many kilometres separate your workplace from your home. Multiply that distance by two or four journeys, depending on whether you work a continuous or split day, and you will know how many kilometres a day you do.

How about taking three kilometres as a reference? Considering four trips per day, you will travel 12 kilometres per day. That is about 264 kilometres per month if we discount weekends. A simple rule of three reveals the potential savings: almost 400 euros per month!

Consequently, in less than six months you have amortised your Capri electric bike, even if you have bought the Azur Pacific Blue, one of the most complete of this brand.

What if you use public transport?

There is no doubt that urban transport is another alternative. Commuting to work by bus, tram, metro or any other means is cheaper than in your car. But how is it different from riding an electric bike?

It all depends, of course, on what city you are in and what the prices are. In the Spanish capital, Madrileños spend between 650 and 1600 euros when buying an annual season ticket.

According to previous calculations, commuting to work on an electric bike does not cost you more than 70 euros per year, maximum 100 euros. No further questions, Your Honour: the evidence speaks for itself.

Top tips to save even more on your new Capri bike

Let’s go further. Using an electric bicycle to commute to work every day is much more economical than using a petrol-powered car. Both the planet and your household budget thank you every month.

However, we would like to offer you some additional tips that will help you to save money in the daily use of this electric vehicle. That’s right, you can save even more electricity than you think!

All you have to do is get into a few simple habits:

1. Once or twice a month, perform a complete charging cycle. If you get used to it, your e-bike will last even longer.
2. Check the tyre pressure and make sure it is always at the correct levels. If you overdo it, you will use more electricity; if you underdo it, you will use more electricity. If you do not have the manufacturer’s references, consult specialised professionals.
3. Drive for inertia. Stop using electricity whenever you can, for example when descending a hill. Inertia is another alternative energy source!
4. Are you going to stop using it for a while? Ideally, this should be done with a half-charged battery.
5. If it is in your hand, avoid using it in high temperatures: the battery suffers in these cases. If you have a choice, use it during the cooler times of the day.
6. Check if your electric bike has an energy recovery system. If so, make the most of it: keep it active!
7. Drive without aggression. The accelerator is the most energy-consuming element. So, if you want to manage your battery better, try to use it as little as possible.

Choose and configure your electric bike

Do not hesitate, you will form a great tandem with your Capri e-bike. The Metz series, for example, is comfortable and functional. You’ll feel great on it, especially if you customise it to your liking with the Capri accessories available.

You’ll pay for your e-bike much sooner than you think and start saving money every month.
