Thinking of buying an electric bike? Commuter e-bikes like Junto are a practical alternative to driving that is both more efficient and more fun. And since Americans waste almost 7 billion hours in traffic every year, we need a way out of the car. E-bikes have all the benefits of biking without all the sweat; although 67% of cyclists said they needed a shower after a standard bike trip, 74% didn’t need a shower after riding their e-bike.

Once you’re out of the car and in the bike lane, the savings are substantial. More than 80% of survey respondents agreed that electric bikes functionally replace cars (League of American Bicyclists), so you can save time and money on commuting and everyday driving. On average, traffic forces travelers to allow 48 minutes for a trip that would otherwise take 20. At a consistent 20 mph, ebikes let you skip the gridlock so you can get to work faster and pumped up from the ride, not worn down from the traffic. Plus, parking is free! Park anywhere and take Junto’s detachable battery into work to charge.
