With the cost of living in Singapore continuing to rise, many people are looking for ways to save money. One way to do this is to cut down on your daily commute costs. If you live in Singapore, you know that public transportation can be expensive.
One way to save money on your daily commute is to use an electric bicycle. Electric bicycles are a great alternative to public transportation because they are much cheaper to operate and maintain. Plus, they are a lot of fun to ride!
Here are some tips on how to save money on your daily commute in Singapore with an electric bicycle:
1. Purchase a quality electric bicycle.
There are many different brands and models of electric bicycles available on the market. Do your research to find a quality electric bicycle that suits your needs and budget.
2. Invest in a good battery.
A quality battery is essential for electric bicycles. Make sure to get a battery that is durable and will last long.
Invest in a good charger. A good charger will help to prolong the life of your battery and keep it charged.
Be sure to keep your battery clean and free of dirt and debris.
3. Get a membership at a local bike shop.
This can help you save money on repairs and maintenance.
4. Plan your route.
There are a few things to consider when trying to map out an efficient route that will avoid traffic congestion. The first is to try and avoid popular routes that are known to be congested.
Instead, try to take back roads or alternative routes that may be less popular but will get you to your destination just as quickly. Another thing to consider is the time of day that you are traveling.
Rush hour is typically the most congested time on the roads, so if you can avoid traveling during those times, you will likely have an easier time avoiding traffic.
Finally, try to use technology to your advantage. There are many traffic apps and websites that can help you map out the best route to take based on current traffic conditions. By using these resources, you can plan your route in advance and make sure that you are taking the most efficient route possible.
5. Ride during off-peak hours. Avoid riding during rush hour
Riding during off-peak hours is the best way to avoid traffic and get where you’re going faster. Plus, it’s more fun to ride when there’s no one else around!
