A breakdown of all the costs"},"content":{"rendered":"

How much does a fat bike cost per month? There\u2019s no set amount for that. Your monthly cost depends on the model, whether you choose to buy or lease, and how you insure and secure it. You can calculate it yourself, though. Add the depreciation or lease payments to the cost of insurance, a budget for a new battery, electricity, and maintenance. For insurance alone, insurer FietsZeker mentions average premiums ranging from \u20ac10 to \u20ac40 per month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Below, you'll see for each cost item which ones are one-time expenses, which ones recur monthly, and where you can check the current price. We've deliberately omitted purchase prices and lease payments, as these vary by model and at any given time, so it's best to check the current price on the model page.<\/p>\n

Buying or Leasing: How to Compare Monthly Payments<\/h2>\n

Buying and leasing seem difficult to compare because, with buying, you pay a large lump sum up front, whereas with leasing, you pay a fixed amount each month. But with a simple calculation, you can still compare the two.<\/p>\n

Buying: Convert the purchase price to a monthly amount<\/h3>\n

Use this formula: (purchase price \u2212 expected residual value) \u00f7 number of months you plan to keep the bike. This will show you how much the bike costs you per month in terms of value. Add insurance, battery replacement, electricity, and maintenance to that, and you\u2019ll have your actual monthly cost.<\/p>\n
