E-Bike vs Car: The 2025 Cost Comparison Australians Can’t Ignore
Cars are costing Australians thousands every year. Discover how e-bikes save money, cut emissions, and fit Aussie commutes in 2025.
The Rising Cost of Car Ownership in Australia
Driving might feel like the default option, but in 2025 it’s hitting wallets harder than ever. On average, Australians spend over $4,000 per year on car ownership once you include rego, insurance, fuel, servicing, tyres, and parking.
For many families in NSW and across Australia, that’s money that could go towards better lifestyle choices.
Why Electric Bikes Are Cheaper to Run
An electric bike (e-bike) flips the equation completely:
-
Charging from empty to full costs less than 10 cents.
-
Even with daily commuting, you’ll spend under $50 a year on electricity.
-
Servicing is minimal compared to a car.
-
No parking fees at your local shops, beaches, or train stations.
Hidden Savings You’ll Notice
Switching from a car to an e-bike also brings everyday savings:
-
Less time wasted in traffic
-
No need for a gym membership — stay active while commuting
-
Many households no longer need a second car
Every kilometers you ride is one less car on the road, helping reduce emissions and traffic congestion in cities like Wollongong, Sydney, and Melbourne.
