E-Biking Is Not A Crime - Hat (for covering your head)

Sure, you clicked here for a cool Hat (yes it has a adjustable metal strap, and 5 panel design so it doesn't look like a box on your head). While I have you. Let's talk about what that logo really is about. Yes, it's subversive. Yes, It's cool. Yes, It's retro-fresh. It is also about more. It may spark a conversation, and you can help spread the word about what is really happening inside the E-Bike industry (or just put the hat on your head, and disregard my ramblings). However, if you care to understand what is going on. This is what is going on.  Before we get into it. Buying this Hat helps keep a family owned, American small business survive and thrive.

You matter, your patronage matters. You are not a number to us. You are the lifeblood of this business, and this simple item. A Hat...directly puts food on the table of our staff. Right here in Clinton, NJ. 

Let it be known. E-Biking is not a Crime. As the Government pushes for Green Energy solutions that drastically reduce a person's dependance on traditional fuel sources. They mandate it. Then what do they do. They ban it, or they restrict it, or they tax it.

How can you mandate one thing, while banning it at the same time. The ban is not here, but the lobbyists are. If you do not think huge Automotive interests, massive insurance conglomerates, and the very Government that push for these incentives in the first place are trying to reverse course. You are wrong. E-Biking saves you THOUSANDS. Tens of thousands of dollars per year. By month two you are making money. Show me another return on investment that has a performance track record like that.  

 Here is a fun fact. The average cost of owning a car in 2024 is $1017.41 per month. That includes all the stuff that you DON'T need with a E-Bike. Monthly Payment of about $700 bucks, insurance, registration, license plates, maintenance, annual vehicle inspection, and of course...GAS.

Here is another fun fact. The ENTIRE cost of ONE high quality E-Bike is around 2 Grand. The average cost of getting 55 miles, aka a full charge on your E-Bike. is $0.06 cents. You read that right. SIX CENTS.

You know who hates this. Car companies, Insurance companies, and after all that carefully pushed "green act". Well guess what they realized. Shit, we just lost a ton of on-going government revenue. Sales tax on a $75,000 car. Tax on Gas. Annual registration fees, inspections, and all the like. You know who also hates it. 

 If you can manage to turn your 2 car household into a 1 car household. Your E-Bike pays for itself in 2 months. That's it. It's all gravy from there. Fight the good fight. It doesn't matter why you are fighting it. I don't care if you are "Green", or if you tight on funds, or if you increasingly feel like your dollar is turning into 0.50 cents. You are not alone. E-Biking is not only a fitness force multiplier. It gets people to work for close to nothing. Imagine a world where every month the following bills are not in your mailbox.

1.) Your monthly car payment.

2.) Your monthly car insurance payment.

3.) Your monthly gas bill.

4.) Your annual registration renewal fee. 

5.) Your annual inspection station visit fee.

6.)How much did you pay in taxes and fees to buy/lease that new car?

Also, guess what is depreciating. That $70,000 2nd car that you don't use all the time. Lay it out. Think about it. Can it be done. Can you hybrid your life. Uber when you need to, and have one care. If you can. You just added about $10,000 a year to your bottom line. 

Okay, now you can buy this hat. -Cody @clintonrides
