Fuel savings calculator – how much do you save by using an ebike for all your incidental travel?

Sharing is caring!

This is a calculator to figure out how much you can save from incidental travel – ie all the short distance travel you make during the week, such as to the supermarket, to the beach, to the movies and to town.


This calculator can be used in conjunction with your fuel savings calculator for ebike travel to work to give you your total savings per week from using an ebike.

You can also use it just to track the dollar value of your total weekly travel – assuming you measure that amount in kilometres travelled.
