Build a Greener Future This World Car-Free Day

Introduction

Held on September 22nd globally, World Car-Free Day encourages people to leave their cars behind and experience their city (and commute) with less traffic and congestion.

It's a day to celebrate alternative forms of transportation that allow communities to reclaim their urban space and opt for more sustainable modes of transport, such as walking or e-bikes.

Given that urban air pollution and the associated health risks of car use are so significant, World Car-Free Day offers you the perfect opportunity to make the day (and every future day) even greener by switching to an e-bike.

Here's how.

 

Beat the traffic, cut the emissions

In the EU, road transportation pollution costs cities over €166 billion each year in lost wellbeing, health impacts, and economic damage, primarily due to car emissions.

E-bikes have been rising steadily as an alternative, sustainable form of transport that could cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 25% with more widespread adoption.

In fact, opting for an e-bike can save up to 500 pounds of CO2 emissions per year compared to driving a car – it's a quicker, cleaner commuting solution, and it's the type of individual action with a collective impact that's our backbone at TENWAYS.

 

Ride into better health 

E-bikes are a great option for World Car-Free Day because they're accessible for all ages and fitness levels, offering improved cardiovascular health and reduced risk of chronic diseases.

Additionally, e-bikes offer the opportunity to take in your journey with more space, flexibility, and freedom, which is undoubtedly beneficial for your mental health, contributing to lower stress and anxiety.

 

Save more than just the planet

You can save the planet and your pockets with an e-bike, as they have lower running costs, minimal maintenance, and none of the extra hassle or financial burden of tax or insurance.

TENWAYS' e-bikes are designed to be low-maintenance and high-impact, and many of our models have belt drives and standard components that make regular chain lubrication and excessive servicing costs a thing of the past.

 

Convenience that fits your life

The beauty of switching to an e-bike for World Car-Free Day is that you'll likely want to make it a permanent switch for the convenience!

You can fit in daily exercise alongside your errands, commute, and daily life, all whilst contributing to a more sustainable future (and taking a more scenic route).

The ability to customise your e-bike through accessories like carriers, pannier bags, and phone mounts means that your ride can be as comfortable and proactive as possible, no matter what the day throws at you.

 

Accessibility for everyone

Offering a form of daily exercise is one of the biggest benefits of choosing an e-bike, but most importantly, e-bikes open up the joy of cycling to all ages and abilities.

Whether you're opting for a fuss-free office commute, city adventure, or venturing further afield for a more intensive journey and scenery, you're getting all of the health benefits of exercising in a way that suits your capabilities and your preferences.

It goes without saying that e-bikes are the most accessible alternative this World Car-Free Day if you're a first-time rider! Plus, you can get your family and friends involved, too.

 

Make every day greener with TENWAYS

What starts as one car-free day could be your path into a more flexible, sustainable future of transport and lasting change.

At TENWAYS, we believe in making small changes with a big impact, which is why we've had a partnership with Just One Tree (JOT) since 2022. JOT has planted over 20,000 trees on our behalf (one tree planted per e-bike sold) since our partnership began.

Why not make the switch to an e-bike for your daily commute to celebrate World Car-Free Day and make every day greener? We have a range of e-bike models to suit your riding styles.
