Why ride an E-Bike/Scooter?
Electric bike [E-Bike] and electric scooter in Hawaii prove to be the fun vehicles for
personal, economic and environmental benefits. We truly set an example for residents from
all other places.
Riding an E-Bike/Scooter is like riding a general bike but without much sweat. In fact,
riding a pedal bike daily to work is not always pleasant in this warm climate in Hawaii. With
an E-Bike, one has no longer worried about a long way or an uphill, while still enjoys a nice
sports activity and always be able to find a parking place. The E-bike/scooter offers much
more comforts than pedaling a traditional bicycle.
The economic benefits of E-Bikes/Scooters are obvious, in comparing with buying hybrid
cars or even noisy gas mopeds. E-Bikes are considerably low cost. Except its low price,
one can easily save 75% of his/her gas spending after having an E-Bike. Just remember, E-
Bike / E-Scooter only need minimal maintenance. Thus, riding an E-Bike or E-Scooter can
turn your daily commute to a Money-Saving experience.
Let us do a simple calculation ($3.30/Gal), cars cost about $0.30-0.50 per mile in fuel in
town. Giving that you drive 5000 miles per year, your gas spending is about $1500 at least
in a year. Having an E-Bike or E-Scooter basically saves 75% of your gas spending (~
$1,100 to $2,600) in the first year, enough to cover your investment. For some families
having SUV, truck and other gas suckers, their saving will be much greater.
Particularly, if one only need short commute within 10-30 miles per day, just the saving on
parking would be well over $1000 per year. One of another big spending on your car is
maintenance. Now, your E-Bike or an E-Scooter can help cut that as well. So anyone
investing in his/her E-Bike & E-Scooter will find tremendous savings.
The environmental benefit is most important because E-Bikes/Scooters have no emissions
at all, regardless of reduced resource consumption (less material, fuel, and infrastructure).
Reducing CO2 emissions is most urgent because of global warming. The average car
emits one pound of CO2 for every mile driven. If one rides an E-Bike or E-Scooter daily,
your 75% saving in gas spending literally is your contribution to the reduction of green
house gas emission (that equals to 3750 pounds of CO2 per year). Think about, my
fellows, you are not only saving $$$ for yourself, but also saving the world - no joking - on
a daily basis.
Electric bikes/Scooters are easy to use; push and go. They save time in two ways: 1) For
errands up to 30-50 miles and on some congested commutes, E-Bikes/Scooters are
quicker than the car; 2) Their low cost means you work fewer hours supporting them.
The E-Bikes/Scooters are equipped with all safety devices for riding during daytime and
night. With an E-Bike/Scooter, riding around cars is safe.
Your health and fitness will improve. Believe or not, E-Biking/Cruise is sports, good for
your fitness and health. If having foot problems, the benefit will be more obvious. Because
of the motor in the bike/scooter, you will actually be riding that bike/scooter more often. In
fact, you will find more fun and enjoyment of your life daily! Traffic snarls aren't frustrating
and stressful to you, and you are no longer "beating the system".
How Much We Spend to Live with A Car ?
To most of us, automobiles represent a fast way to get where we're going. But auto
expenses (including both ownership and operating cost) are costly. When all included, they
make the true costs of driving a car much higher than we realize. Your and my "True
Costs" worksheet below

have convinced us how much we're spending on our car each year. Those are direct costs.
Indirectly, through many types of taxes, we also pay for the land, roads, "freeways”,
bridges, and tunnels. Through the government, we also pay cleaning, landscaping,
irrigation, signs, signals, reflectors, and police and emergency services. According to the
American Automobile Association, a new car costs over $6,000 a year to operate.
In summary, electric bikes/scooters, for errands and short commutes, offer an alternative to
the high costs of driving. Obviously, maintenance & energy costs are minimal. So every
mile you ride an e-bike/scooter, instead of driving, saves you money. Meanwhile, you are
contributing to protect our environment.

The Best in 2008
In August, 2008, Henk and a bunch of his friends from
Blue Planet Foundation in Hawaii went to Burning
Man, a festival in the desert 100 miles north of Reno,
Nevada, attended by some 50,000 people (pictures
on Facebook, video on YouTube (Burning Man
Mastermind)). They took a weeks worth of food and
drinks, pack it in an RV and expect something along
the lines of Carnaval in Brazil meets Woodstock.
People wore the craziest outfits (clothing is optional),
built the most outrageous structures (towers, domes,
tents and art object), walk, ride bicycles or cought
rides on extravagantly decorated "art cars". Everyone
gave stuff to other people and expected nothing in
return (no money except for externally brought in dire
necessities (water, gasoline, toilet servicing, that
kind of thing)). They built a giant Tetris machine
"Tetrion" where people could play at night (all night).
Henk built his "Peacock Bike", and electric moped
with a peacock tail on it (twirling flags by day, colorful
lights at night). He said it was great fun if you could
handle extreme desert conditions (very cold at night,
very hot by day and major zero visibilty sandstorms)
