Driving around the inner west is getting harder – there’s too much traffic and nowhere to park. Driving is expensive with the latest transport affordability index putting average running costs for a car at around $10k a year, and in an area where housing is expensive, at a time when cost of living keeps going up, families are looking for better ways to spend their time and money.

The second car club is for those households who want the freedom and mobility of a second car without the costs and hassle – households that are perfectly suited to an ebike. They might be growing, single car families who need an upgrade or two car households looking to cut back without making sacrifices.

The second car club offers resources, guided rides, meetups and community targeted to the kinds of challenges new bike households might butt up against:

• Navigating their city when they’re accustomed to driving most places
• Shopping for ebikes and gear
• Forming helpful habits
• Carrying stuff like shopping and kids
• Parking and storing their ebike
