I haven't had to do any work on my EV in the 2 years I've had it.
I'm due for a cabin air filter change in another couple years.
So yes the bike is costing me more in maintenance! It is hard to compete with 0.
- dylan604 5mo agoDoes the eBike have a monthly payment plus a required insurance policy? The EV still costs way more to own which is the most important factor
- com2kid 5mo agoDefinitely, the car costs more. But speaking purely in terms of maintenance, costs are nearly 0. Assuming I don't but a pot hole, the tires will last me 7-8 years at minimum (I drive a bit under 3000 miles a year). Brakes are barely used with an EV. Insurance + tabs is my largest cost. I bought my EV cash a few years back when prices were super low thanks to hertz offloading their fleet.
- hamdingers 5mo agoMaintenance should be amortized. The first time you do brakes and tires it will cost more than 5+ years of ebike maintenance. It adds nothing to the conversation to pretend otherwise.
