With the start of a new year right around the corner, millions of Americans regret the gluttony of their holiday delights and planning their overly ambitious January resolutions. As most of us already know, resolutions typically don’t last beyond the first few months of the year. So, what’s the secret to setting an achievable resolution that will last throughout the year, and beyond? Experts agree that the key is setting reasonable goals that aren’t too drastic, provide a tangible benefit (like happiness and good health), and can easily fit into your existing lifestyle. Rather than trying to lose 50 pounds in 90 days or vowing never to eat fast food again, find resolutions you can actually keep. One simple way to achieve multiple meaningful resolutions… start with an e-bike. lt might seem like a stretch, but electric bikes are already a highly transformative mobility solution for millions of Americans for a myriad of reasons. Still unconvinced? Here are 5 New Year’s Resolutions that you can actually keep in 2023 with a little help from an e-bike.
Be More Active
Losing weight is a popular New Year’s resolution that easily gets kicked to the curb a few weeks into the new year. Rather than trying to lose weight, simply being more active is a resolution you can actually keep – especially with an e-bike. Riding an electric bike a few days a week is a great way to stay active without going to a gym. You may not even realize the exercise you’re getting along the way when finding new places to explore! You can get an effective low-impact workout by pedaling with vigorous-intensity even when you’re using the pedal assist. Research even found that e-bike riders get MORE exercise each week than standard cyclists because they ride longer distances! It’s arguably one of the most fun and exhilarating forms of exercise you could ever hope for too.
Spend Less, Save More!
Experts seem reluctant to admit we’re in a recession but let’s be honest… we’re in a recession. With no end in sight to painful inflation rates, smart consumers are keenly focused on puttingt more money in savings in 2023. And, for some Americans, they simply need to reduce expenses so they can afford rent, utilities and food. Sure, cutting out the daily trips to Starbucks will save some money but do you know what would save you even more? An e-bike! There is an initial investment in purchasing a new electric bicycle, but the savings that follow are considerable! Let’s start with a few hundred dollars worth of savings just on gas PER MONTH. Parking costs are instantly eliminated by riding an e-bike. And, regular upkeep on an e-bike is a tiny fraction of what’s spent on maintaining and servicing a car. If you want to put an extra thousand or more in your bank account this year, an e-bike is the answer. Plus, Juiced offers flexible finance options, with payments as low as $75/month. Pro tip - look to see if your state or city offers an e-bike rebate to save even more from the start.
Do Your Part to Help the Environment
Maybe you’ve been making small changes to help the environment like eating less meat, using less plastic, conserving water, and being diligent about recycling. For many Americans, ‘saving the environment’ seems like a lofty goal requiring dramatic lifestyle changes, but you really don’t need to go to extremes to make an impact. A Juiced electric bike produces ZERO EMISSIONS! Not quite ready to commute to work every day with an e-bike? No problem! Even replacing short errand trips with an e-bike will make a huge impact on the environment. This easy step will help do your part to keep the Earth healthy for many years to come.
Try One New Thing a Month
Accomplishing a New Year’s Resolution is often challenging because you’re trying to tackle something big all at once. Instead, make time once a month to try something new and your e-bike will help you get there. (And give you some ideas for what to try next!) Riding an electric bike helps you see parts of your hometown that you never knew existed. One month you could try that restaurant you always drive by, and the next month you might want to try riding to a neighboring city. Challenging yourself to try something new once a month is easy when riding an electric bike.
Travel to a New Place

There are countless scenic bike paths to explore when you’re riding an e-bike throughout the country so traveling to a new place is a no-brainer.

If your fat tire bike is itching to tear up some gravel, you can take it out for a spin anywhere from the park to mountain trails. If you want something more on-road, many medium to large-sized U.S. cities feature specific bike lanes separate from traffic so you can cruise worry-free.
