How do electric bikes fare in terms of maintenance costs

[ValentinoDrake]

Honestly, electric bikes are pretty low maintenance compared to regular bikes. You still have to keep an eye on the tires and brakes, but you won’t be dealing with things like chain lubrication as often. The main cost comes from the battery, but if you take care of it, it can last a good while!

Electric bikes can be a bit pricier when it comes to maintenance, mainly because of the battery and electrical components. But overall, if you keep up with regular checks and don’t ride it like a maniac, you should be fine. Just be prepared for the occasional battery replacement down the line.

I’d say maintenance costs for electric bikes are pretty manageable. You’ll need to replace the battery every few years, which can be a chunk of change, but other than that, it’s mostly just the usual stuff like brakes and tires. Plus, you save on gas, so it kind of balances out!
