More and more people are trading their cars for e-bikes. Not only because it’s healthier and more sustainable, but also because it’s a smart financial choice. But how much do you actually save when you swap your car for an Astonic e-bike?
Let’s break down the numbers.
Owning a car is more expensive than most people realize:
Fuel: at 12,000 km per year and €2.10 per liter of petrol, that’s around €2,000 annually.
Insurance: €600 – €1,200 per year.
Maintenance & inspections: €600 – €800 per year.
Road tax & parking: €400 – €1,000 per year.
Total: €3,600 – €5,000 annually.
A premium Astonic e-bike is an investment, but one that pays off quickly:
Purchase price: around €4,000 – €5,500 (one-time).
Charging costs: about €0.10 per full charge. With 250 charges per year, that’s only €25.
Maintenance: €150 – €250 per year.
Insurance: €100 – €150 per year.
Total: €300 – €450 annually.
Replace 8,000 out of your 12,000 yearly car kilometers with the Astonic, and you’ll save:
Fuel: approx. €1,400 annually.
Car maintenance: fewer kilometers = less wear, approx. €300 annually.
Parking: easily €500 annually in cities.
Total savings: over €2,200 per year.
That means your e-bike pays for itself in just 2 to 3 years.
Your savings are great, but the real gains go beyond money:
Health: daily exercise improves fitness and reduces stress.
Time: no traffic jams, no parking hassle.
Sustainability: fewer car trips mean a lower carbon footprint.

On average, an e-bike costs €300 to €450 per year for electricity, maintenance, and insurance. Much cheaper than a car.
A full charge costs about €0.10 in electricity. With 250 charges per year, that’s around €25.
On average, 60 to 200 km per full charge, depending on support level, rider weight, and terrain.
By replacing part of your car mileage with e-bike rides, you can earn back the investment in 2–3 years.
For short to medium distances (up to 20–25 km one way), an e-bike can often replace the car. For longer trips, the car remains a complement.
A high-quality e-bike lasts much longer and requires less maintenance. Comfortable features – such as a suspension seat post, ergonomic handlebar, and stable frame – ensure you ride more often and with more joy. This way, you get the most out of your investment, and your e-bike remains reliable for many years.
We can be reached by phone Monday through Saturday between 9:00 and 21:00. You can also send us an e-mail.
