E-bikes are becoming an increasingly popular way of getting around; and clearly here at DASH we are massive believers in their future and potential. E-bikes may come with some limitations, but a subscription model can be an effective way to navigate these challenges. In this blog, we explore why a subscription approach is particularly well-suited for the world of e-bikes.

Why an e-bike subscription?

‍

Subscription e-bikes offer a number of benefits that make them an attractive alternative to purchasing an e-bike outright. One of the main advantages of a subscription model is the reduced upfront cost. Instead of paying a large sum all at once, you can spread the cost out over a period of time through monthly payments. This can make it more accessible for people who may not have the funds to make a large upfront purchase.

E-bikes offer many benefits, but they also come with more complex components, like a battery and motor, that can in rare circumstances cause issues. Subscription models that include maintenance can help reduce the stress of dealing with these potential issues.

E-bikes can be expensive and are often targeted by thieves, which can be a concern for owners. Subscription models that include theft insurance can provide peace of mind and alleviate the worry of locking your e-bike.

Why DASH?

‍

At DASH, we make our subscription e-bikes even more affordable by utilising the cycle-to-work scheme. This means that your monthly fee is taken out of your pre-tax salary resulting in a lower cost.

We carry some of the best e-bike brands out there, including Cowboy, VanMoof, and Brompton Electric from as little as £29/month, including a helmet, lock, theft insurance, and on-demand repairs and servicing.

Customers are able to upgrade their e-bike too. Once outside of your minimum commitment, we give you the flexibility to try out a different model or keep your current bike. You also have the option to cancel your subscription anytime you want.

No matter whether you’re experienced or new to cycling, DASH’s premium e-bikes and flexible subscription model make owning an e-bike easy.

This can make it more accessible for people who may not have the funds to make a large upfront purchase.

Another benefit of subscription e-bikes is the flexibility they offer. With a traditional e-bike purchase, you're committed to keeping the bike for the long-term. With a subscription model, you have the option to keep the e-bike for as long or as little as you like. This can be especially useful for people who are unsure if they want to commit to owning an e-bike long-term. It's also convenient for those who may need an e-bike for a short period of time, such as for a specific project or event.

Overall, subscription e-bikes offer a cost-effective and convenient way to enjoy all the benefits of cycling. If you're interested in trying out an e-bike, a subscription model might be a good option for you.
