E-Bikes

Electric bikes are for everyone

No matter what type of riding you like to do, there’s an electric bike for you. And once you integrate an e-bike into your daily life, don’t be surprised if you find yourself going by bike more and more often. Because not only are electric bikes super-useful, they’re super-fun to ride.

A little extra boost can lead to incredible possibilities. When you ride an electric bike, there’s no ride too long, no load too heavy and no place your legs can’t carry you. Ditch the daily traffic jam, get more exercise and feel great about treading more lightly on the planet. And best of all – have a ton of fun along the way.

Electric bikes work by using an electric motor and battery to help you power your bike. On pedal-assist e-bikes, you control the amount of power the drive system provides and the assist only kicks in when you pedal. The motor amplifies the power behind each of your pedal strokes, providing a natural riding feeling that makes it seem like your legs are supercharged!

  • NSW Dept of Transport control the use of e-bikes on roads and road related areas in NSW.

     

    You can use bicycles that meet the requirements for permitted e-bikes on public roads and road-related areas.

    What are the e-bike requirements?
    There are two types of permitted e-bikes:

    Power-assisted pedal cycles

    Electrically power-assisted cycles.

    The rider must primarily propel these bikes – a motor can’t be the only source propelling it.
