How To Save Money In 2022

How To Save Money In 2022

Budgeting has become a new normal in 2022. Everything from gas, to groceries, cars (both used and new) plus the fuel to propel them, and all necessities in between, have dramatically increased. Cost-saving is paramount. One of the best ways to significantly save is to invest in personal mobility transportation. To help you get a better sense of why so many people are investing in alternative mobility, we’re breaking down the benefits. 

Benefits Of Personal Mobility

1). Run Your Errands On Your E-Bike

Depending on where you live, most of the time,you will run errands within 5 miles or less from your house. Imagine all the times you hopped into the car to head to the grocery store for a few items. Rather than adding unnecessary miles on your car and using expensive gas and oil, you could ride an enjoyable Pedego e-bike to buy groceries and other necessities.

Granted, if you plan on getting bigger items like large amounts of toilet paper, paper towels, or you are going to a warehouse store (like Costco or Sam’s Club) and buying in bulk, you might need a car, an SUV or a truck. But when it comes to everyday grocery and personal items like milk, bread, rice, veggies, fruits, shampoo, deodorant, aspirin, and so forth, you can easily take your bike to the store. If you’re wondering where you’d put these items when you’re riding home, it’s simple. Add a sturdy rack on the rear of the bike and stylish panniers (bags designed for bikes).

2). Say Goodbye To Your Gym Membership

How many times have you gone to the gym this past month? If you’re not consistently going each week or multiples times per week, then it’s a waste of money. Rather than throwing money down the drain, when you invest in an e-bike, you can enjoy a varied form of daily exercise. Yes, e-bikes are electric, but you can still choose the option to manually pedal any of our models just as if they are normal bikes.

3). Save Money On Car Maintenance

Maintaining your car is EXPENSIVE. While some may argue that a new car doesn’t require a lot of maintenance, that’s only true at first, As the car gets older, there is a higher chance of things breaking, so you need to prepare ahead of time. According to AAA, the national average cost of owning a new vehicle is $10,728 per year, which is an 11% increase since 2021. 

AAA also has a calculator online that allows you to determine what the estimated costs would be based on the year, make, model of your car, and the average amount of miles you drive in a given year. For example, let’s say you bought a used 2017 Jeep Compass and drive around 15,000 miles per year. Based on the calculator, the average driving cost per year to own this vehicle would be $11,052.40. That price is expensive, and when you’re not driving your car often, then it simply will not need maintenance as often.

4). Ride Your E-Bike Or Segway To Work 

When not using your car as frequently, your innovative E-Bike can travel long distances on one charge. Rather than driving 30-minutes to work, ride your Pedego electric bike. If you don’t have an e-bike but you have a Segway and live close to work, another option could be to ride your Segway into work!

Not only do you save money on gas and car maintenance, but you’re helping to save the planet as well.
