What It Really Costs to Ride a Mavric: Breaking Down the Dollars per Mile

Electric bikes are growing in popularity—and for good reason. But one of the questions we hear most at Mavric E-Bikes is: “How much does it actually cost to ride one?” The good news? The real answer might surprise you—in the best way possible.

Let’s break it down and show you why owning a Mavric isn’t just a lifestyle upgrade. It’s a smart financial decision too.

Charging vs. Fuel: A Huge Win for Your Wallet

Let’s say you own a Mavric Xtreme, which features a 52V 20Ah battery. Charging it fully costs about $0.15–$0.20, depending on your local electricity rate. That single charge can give you up to 45 miles of range (depending on terrain, assist level, and rider weight).

That’s roughly half a cent per mile.
 Compare that to a car, where fuel alone might cost $0.15–$0.25 per mile, and the savings add up fast.

Maintenance Costs: Minimal and Predictable

A car needs oil changes, transmission repairs, brake servicing, tire replacements, inspections, and insurance—all of which can run into the hundreds or thousands annually.

A Mavric? Basic maintenance includes:

●      Chain lubrication

●      Occasional brake pad replacement

●      Tire inflation

●      Battery charging

Even if you include professional tune-ups and minor part replacements, most Mavric riders spend under $150–$200 a year on upkeep.

🚗 Let’s Do the Math: Mavric vs. Car

Let’s say you ride 3,000 miles a year (a modest 12 miles/day commute). Here's how the cost could break down:

Expense	Mavric E-Bike	Car (average sedan)
Fuel / Charging	~$30/year	~$450–$600/year
Maintenance	~$150/year	~$1,200/year
Insurance	$0	~$1,200/year
Registration & Fees	$0	~$100–$200/year
Total Annual Cost	~$180	~$3,000+

That’s a savings of over $2,800/year just by choosing to ride Mavric for your daily needs.

Cost per Mile: Less Than a Penny

Let’s bring it full circle. If your all-in cost to operate a Mavric E-Bike is around $180 per year, and you ride 3,000 miles annually, your cost per mile is only:

$0.06 per mile

That includes charging, maintenance, and even a little wiggle room.

Saving More Than Money

Let’s not forget: Riding electric means fewer emissions, less congestion, and more fresh air. You're not just saving money—you’re investing in a cleaner, more active lifestyle.
