Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal?
Yes. In most states in Australia the
vehicle is considered a bicycle if it
has pedals and a motor of not more
than 200 watts. Of course we
advise you to check with your local
legislation. See our 'What you need
to know
' page for more
information. Our bikes have been
legally imported and are covered
by an import permit from the
Department of Transport
(D.O.T.A.R.S).

Is it cheating?
No. Riding an electric bike is like
riding a conventional bike on a
level surface all the time. You can
pedal the bike as normal, in fact
you have to apply some pressure
to get up a hill but the motor gives
you a little push to make it that
much easier.

How long does the battery
charge last?
A fully charged bike will travel 40 to
50km on one charge. Of course this
varies with the terrain, the amount
of pedal assistance used and the
load that is pulled.

What maintenance is required?
The bike needs normal bicycle
maintenance. The motor and battery
are sealed units that require no
owner maintenance.

Where are the bikes made?
Like most of the bikes available
today, our bikes are imported from
China. Not surprising considering
that China is the world's largest
consumer of bicycles and where
electric bikes have become a
mainstream mode of transportation.

What colours are available?
Two styles are available -
Black/Silver (pictured) or Red/Silver.

How much does a replacement
battery cost?
The price of batteries fluctuates with
changes in the exchange rate. As a
guide, expect to pay around $500 for a
replacement Lithium battery.
