Advantages of commuting

Time & Flexibility

Imagine starting your day feeling relaxed. No traffic jams, no crowds on the train, no waiting for delayed buses. With an e-bike, you decide when you leave and which route you take. In major German cities, drivers spend between 59 and 79 hours in traffic jams every year. That sounds like wasted time, doesn't it? With an e-bike, you simply bypass traffic, use bike paths, or ride through parks. This often gets you to your destination faster than by car, especially on short and medium distances.

You are also much more flexible than with public transport. You don't have to follow schedules and are independent of strikes or cancellations. Bicycle apps help you find the best route. Even hilly routes are easily mastered thanks to motor assistance. This gives you freedom and control over your day.

Tip: With the REX E-Bike Commuter+, you can easily remove the battery and charge it at home or in the office. This way, you are always ready for the next ride – completely stress-free.

Save Costs

Commuting with an e-bike not only saves your nerves but also your wallet. The annual costs for an e-bike are significantly lower than those of a car. Take a look at this comparison:

The e-bike also scores in terms of maintenance and energy consumption. You don't pay vehicle tax, don't need expensive insurance, and the electricity costs for 10 kilometers are only 1.5 cents. Maintenance is cheaper and required less frequently than with a car. This makes the e-bike a clever choice for everyone who wants to save.

Promote Health

With an e-bike, you are doing something not only for the environment but also for yourself. Even regular commuting by e-bike improves your cardiovascular system, lowers the risk of heart attack and high blood pressure, and helps with weight loss. Studies show that bike commuters have a 20% lower mortality rate. The risk of cancer and metabolic diseases is also significantly reduced.

  • You feel happier and more balanced.

  • Moving in the fresh air relieves stress and releases happiness hormones.

  • E-bike riding is easy on the joints and is also suitable for people with asthma or joint problems.

  • Even two trips a week make a difference for your fitness.

Cycling releases endorphins. These "happiness hormones" help you leave stress and worries behind. You arrive at work relaxed and with a clear head.

Protect the Environment

With every kilometer on an e-bike, you protect the environment. A car causes around 310 kg of CO₂ per year over 10 kilometers. If you replace just two car trips a week with an e-bike, you save over 500 kg of CO₂ annually. E-bikes consume 98% less energy per kilometer than cars. This is a real contribution to climate protection.

Particulate matter pollution in cities also drops when more people switch to e-bikes. E-bikes emit only 2–5 g of CO₂ per kilometer, while cars emit about 140 g. They are less noisy and take up less space. Modern batteries are durable and more environmentally friendly than in the past. If you charge your battery with green electricity, your CO₂ balance becomes even better.

Everyday Story:
Imagine starting your morning with your REX E-Bike Commuter+. You charged the battery comfortably at home overnight. You click your bag onto the MIK luggage rack with one hand. The free lock gives you a sense of security when you park the bike at the train station or in front of the office. You ride relaxed past the line of cars, enjoy the fresh air, and arrive on time and in a good mood. The ride back after work is just as stress-free – and you even have energy left for the evening.

With an e-bike, commuting becomes an experience. You save time, money, and nerves – and do something for your health and the environment in the process.

E-Bike Selection

Model types

You have many options when looking for an e-bike for your commute. City e-bikes are perfect for short distances in the city. They offer you comfort, mudguards, and a luggage rack. Trekking e-bikes are suitable for longer tours and often have a larger battery. Speed pedelecs get you to your destination quickly at up to 45 km/h, but they require a license plate and a helmet. Foldable models like the MOBILEMASTER series from GermanXia are light, compact, and even fit on the train or in the office. Many commuters appreciate this flexibility.

Technology & Battery

Technology counts when commuting. A powerful motor helps you on inclines and against headwinds. The REX E-Bike Commuter+ has a mid-drive motor with 70 Nm of torque. The torque sensor ensures a natural riding experience. The removable 468 Wh battery takes you up to 120 kilometers. You can easily charge it at home or in the office. This saves time and gives you freedom. Modern batteries often last for 500 to 1,000 charging cycles – that's many years of riding fun. The range depends on your riding style, the terrain, and the weather.

Tip: Charge your battery regularly and store it at room temperature. This keeps it performing well for a long time.

Equipment

Comfort and safety make the difference. The REX Commuter+ offers you a Suntour suspension fork that cushions shocks. The Shimano 7-speed hub gear ensures smooth shifting. Hydraulic disc brakes bring you to a stop safely, even in the rain. The LED lighting with 85 LUX makes you visible in the dark. The MIK luggage rack is super practical: you simply click bags or baskets on. The free lock protects your bike from theft. With this equipment, you are well prepared for everyday life – whether you are riding to work, shopping, or sports.

Comfort & Safety

Ergonomics

Do you want to arrive at work feeling relaxed? Then the ergonomics of your e-bike play a major role. A comfortable seating position protects your back and prevents tension. Ergonomic grips ensure that your hands don't get tired, even on longer routes. A comfortable saddle makes every ride more pleasant. The Suntour suspension fork on the REX Commuter+ absorbs bumps and cobblestones so that you travel smoothly even on rough paths.

Many commuters appreciate an upright seating position. It relieves the back and wrists. The frame geometry determines how you sit on the bike: A low step-through makes getting on and off easier, especially in city traffic. The correct adjustment of the saddle and handlebars helps you save energy and avoid discomfort.

Tip: Try out different settings until you feel really comfortable. Even small changes make a big difference!

Protection & Accessories

Safety is the top priority when commuting. Your e-bike needs good lighting – the REX Commuter+ gets you safely through the dark with 85 LUX LED light. A red reflector is mandatory and makes you visible in traffic. Hydraulic disc brakes ensure that you come to a stop quickly and safely in any weather.

A helmet is strongly recommended, even if it is not always mandatory. Warning clothing or reflective accessories increase your visibility, especially in bad weather. The free lock protects your e-bike from theft. High-quality locks made of hardened steel offer the best protection. Always lock your bike to a fixed object – this makes it difficult for thieves.

The MIK luggage rack is a real plus: you click bags or baskets on in seconds. This allows you to transport everything you need for the day safely and comfortably. Weatherproof clothing and rain protection make you independent of the weather.

Insurance

The right insurance gives you peace of mind. For e-bike commuters, a specialized e-bike insurance policy is worth it. It not only protects you in the event of theft but also against falls, vandalism, or electronic damage. Many policies even cover the battery and accessories such as the lock or luggage rack. Costs are usually under 100 euros per year – which is manageable and provides security.

Routes & everyday life

Do you want to get to work relaxed every day? With an e-bike, you can plan your route flexibly and adapt it to your needs. Many apps show you the best bike paths, help you avoid hills, and assist you in bypassing traffic jams. This way, you will always find the fastest route and can react spontaneously to construction sites or traffic.

The charging infrastructure for e-bikes is growing steadily in German cities. You will find various ways to charge your battery while out and about:

Charging infrastructure type

Description

Special features

Public charging stations

At tourist spots, public squares, recreational routes

Sometimes hard to find in the city center

Lockable bike boxes

Power outlet and storage space for helmet and luggage

Access via lock, RFID, PIN, or mobile phone

Solar-powered fast-charging stations

Covered stations with up to 10 charging points, power from solar panels

Approx. 2 hours charging time, free, weather-protected, with battery storage and lighting

Wall boxes/charging columns in commercial areas

At companies, restaurants, hotels

Mostly indoors, weather-protected

With the REX E-Bike Commuter+, you are particularly flexible. You can simply take the removable battery with you into the office or home. You can charge it at any standard power outlet. This saves time and makes you independent of public charging stations. The MIK luggage rack helps you transport everything important for the day securely – whether it's a laptop, gym bag, or groceries. The free lock protects your bike when you park it. This makes enjoying stress-free mobility in everyday life very easy.

Tip: Charge your battery whenever you have time – for example, during work or while shopping. This way, you are always ready for the next ride.

Weather & seasons

Don't want to give up your e-bike even in rain, cold, or winter? With the right preparation, you can master any weather condition and enjoy stress-free mobility all year round.

Dress using the onion principle (layering). Multiple layers keep you warm and dry. Breathable, windproof, and waterproof jackets protect you from rain and wind. Water-repellent cycling pants, gloves, a hat, and shoe covers ensure you won't freeze even in cold weather. Reflective clothing and good eye protection increase your safety.

Make your e-bike winter-ready. Protect the battery from cold and shocks with a cover. Regularly check brakes, lights, and tires. In snow or ice, special winter tires and slightly lower tire pressure help provide more grip. Reduce your speed and brake carefully, especially in corners. Store your e-bike in a dry place and clean it after rides in rain or snow. In freezing temperatures, always take the battery inside to a warm place.

Cycling in winter keeps you fit and strengthens your immune system. You avoid crowded buses and trains and are often even faster at your destination. This makes enjoying stress-free mobility attractive and healthy even in the cold season.
