Introduction
As we move into a new year, many of us are cultivating new goals around our fitness and lifestyle, whether we're looking to feel more connected, energised, or free.
When it comes to the pressures of a new year, e-bikes are the Swiss Army Knife solution, contributing positively to your financial goals, social life, health and wellbeing, and sustainability efforts.
But how exactly does an e-bike upgrade your overall lifestyle, and how is it the perfect, financially sound decision to make in 2026?
Let's take a look.
What are the financial benefits of e-bikes?
Car ownership is expensive, even when accounting for monthly expenses and ignoring initial upfront costs. In fact, the average monthly total cost of car ownership is €616, compared to between €206 and €652 for the annual cost of running and maintaining an e-bike.
Public transport costs are also high, varying between €300-€1,200 annually, climbing to €2,000 in cities such as London. With this in mind, the primary question for many people considering an e-bike as a more financially viable option is, “But what about the upfront costs?”
E-bike purchase support schemes might come in handy when you want to spend less on an e-bike. And in the UK, cycle-to-work schemes offer an accessible option, cutting the upfront costs through income tax and social contribution savings in more manageable instalments.
Reclaiming time and sanity
For the average city-dweller, life is fraught with frustrations that make everyday tasks an uphill struggle, whether it's traffic jams, behind-schedule buses and trains, or school runs and grocery trips that turn into drawn-out journeys.
E-bikes are the efficient and fuss-free option, offering faster commuting, easier parking, and the freedom to enjoy time with family and friends.
With the new year in mind, e-biking is also a great way to gain control over your schedule and minimise barriers to achieving your goals!
Health that fits perfectly into your life
Whether your 2026 fitness goal is to have more energy, to connect with others, or to find joy in everyday movement, e-biking is a consistent and reliable option to make your fitness plan a success.
Beyond the physical benefits, e-biking offers an immersive riding experience that allows you to explore and expand your horizons, helping with stress relief and bringing you fulfilment.
One of the biggest advantages of e-biking is its accessibility, providing easy movement for people of various ages and fitness levels that can be seamlessly integrated into daily routines.
The effortless green choice
Unlike cars and public transport, e-bikes produce zero tailpipe emissions, contributing to cleaner air, less traffic noise, and a calmer commuting environment.
Greener, quieter neighbourhoods are also teeming with chances to connect with others and appreciate moving at a more human pace!
Given that many of our New Year's goals or resolutions focus on making an impact, e-biking offers the perfect opportunity to have a direct and visible impact on our environment daily by choosing greener transportation.
Find fulfilment in everyday movement
Finances, time, health, and values are the foundation for not only who we are, but who we want to be when we prioritise these areas in a new year—an e-bike targets all of these areas at once to give you freedom and fulfilment!
At TENWAYS, sleek and stylish e-bike designs powered by innovation are the backbone of our mission to create a greener future for everyone, wherever life takes them.
If you're looking to blend practicality with purpose this year (and for many years to come!), we have a range of stylish, simple, and innovative e-bikes to suit every preference.
