I Tried an E-Bike in Dallas for 2 Weeks – Here’s What Surprised Me
In this video, Courtney reveals how an e-bike improved her daily routine, boosted her mood, and helped her take advantage of a little-known HSA benefit.
After living car-free in Dallas for three years, Courtney finally gave e-biking a shot — and it completely changed how she gets around the city. In this video, she shares her personal experience riding a Riese & Müller e-bike (thanks to Electric Avenue Bike Shop in Victory Park) for two weeks, how it transformed her commute and daily errands, and the surprising benefits she didn’t expect — including how she was able to buy her own e-bike using her Health Savings Account (HSA). In this video, you’ll learn:
Why Courtney was hesitant to get an e-bike — and what changed her mind
The mental and physical health boosts she experienced from biking to work
How she managed errands like grocery runs and dog food pickups by bike
Tips she learned for commuting in Dallas without a car
How she used her HSA to buy an e-bike (and waived sales tax under Texas law)
