Look at the motor power (remembering the 250W legal limit for road use), range battery capacity, and the bike's weight. Check the frame size to ensure a comfortable fit. Read customer reviews and look for bikes with good warranties and after-sales support. Many online retailers offer detailed specs and comparison tools. It's also worth checking if the online store has a physical location or partner shops where you can test ride the bike. While you can't try before buying online, most reputable sellers offer returns policies if you're unsatisfied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eAre electric bikes bought online in Australia covered by warranty?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, electric bikes purchased online in Australia typically come with a warranty, but coverage can vary between brands and retailers. Most e-bikes have at least a 12-month warranty on the electrical components (motor, battery, controller) and a 2-year warranty on the frame. Some high-end brands offer longer warranties. When buying online, check the warranty terms carefully. Look for sellers who provide Australian warranty support, as sending an e-bike overseas for repairs will be costly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow much should I expect to pay for a quality electric bike in Australia?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe price of electric bikes in Australia varies widely based on quality, features, and brand. Entry-level e-bikes for casual riders or short commutes start at around $1,500 to $2,000. Mid-range e-bikes, which offer better components and more powerful motors, typically cost between $2,500 and $4,000. High-end electric bikes, including performance e-MTBs or premium commuter models, can cost $5,000 or more. While it might be tempting to go for the cheapest option, investing in a quality e-bike often pays off in terms of reliability, performance, and longevity. When comparing prices online, factor in additional costs like shipping, assembly, extra accessories you might need, and the challenge of finding a good mechanic willing to service an e-bike purchased online.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n"},{"id":462944108848,"handle":"all-product","title":"All Product","updated_at":"2024-12-19T21:15:09+11:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2023-09-26T12:29:05+10:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2023-11-08T00:19:33+11:00","alt":"","width":1440,"height":554,"src":"\/\/rev-bikes.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/img20200306122345.jpg?v=1699364380"}},{"id":462945124656,"handle":"best-sellers","title":"Best Sellers","updated_at":"2024-12-19T21:15:09+11:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2023-09-26T12:38:56+10:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":467043320112,"handle":"bicycle-parts-accessories","updated_at":"2024-12-19T21:15:09+11:00","published_at":"2023-12-01T15:02:56+11:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"Bicycle Parts","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eThese essential items keep the wheels turning!

First, consider the type of rack: roof racks, towbar-mounted racks, and boot-mounted racks are common options in Australia. Towbar racks are often the best choice for e-bikes due to their sturdiness and ease of loading. Check the rack's weight capacity - it should comfortably exceed your e-bike's weight. Look for racks with wider wheel trays and stronger arms to accommodate the bulkier tyres and frames of e-bikes. Some racks come with built-in locks, which are handy for security. Lastly, ensure the rack is compatible with your car model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eAre there any special considerations when using a towbar rack for an e-bike?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirstly, ensure your towbar is rated to handle the combined weight of the rack and your e-bike(s). Most e-bikes weigh between 20-30kg, so a rack carrying two could push 60 kilograms or more. Check that the rack has adjustable wheel trays for different e-bike sizes and styles. Some e-bike-specific towbar racks come with integrated ramps for easier loading. Consider a tilting rack, which allows access to your boot without removing the bike. Be aware of how the rack affects your car's rear overhang - in some states; there are regulations about how far the rack can extend beyond your vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow can I secure my e-bike correctly on a bike rack?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart by removing the battery - this reduces weight on the rack and prevents theft of this expensive component. Use the rack's built-in straps or clamps to secure the frame, ensuring they're tight but not damaging any cables. For added stability, use extra straps or bungee cords to secure the wheels to the rack. If your rack doesn't have built-in locks, use a sturdy bike lock to secure the e-bike to the rack. Cover any display screens or sensitive components to protect them from road debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat are the benefits of a platform-style rack for electric bikes?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlatform-style racks, often seen in towbar-mounted designs, offer several benefits for transporting electric bikes.

The kit's main component is the motor, built directly into the centre of the front or rear wheel hub, you choose the wheel size. When you pedal or use a throttle (if included), the motor spins the wheel, providing electric assistance. Most kits also include a battery, controller, pedelec sensor, display unit, possible a throttle and brake cutout sensors, and all necessary wiring. Hub motors are known for their simplicity and ease of use. They work independently of your bike's drivetrain, which means less wear on your chain and gears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs it difficult to install an electric hub motor kit on my bike?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling an electric hub motor kit can be easier than fitting a mid-drive system (especially if no disc brakes), making it a popular choice for DIY e-bike enthusiasts in Australia. The process involves replacing one of your bike's wheels with the motorised hub wheel, mounting the battery (usually on the frame or rear rack), installing the controller and controls, and connecting the wiring. Most kits come with detailed instructions, and plenty of online tutorials are available. If you're comfortable with basic bike maintenance and have a few common bike tools, you should be able to complete the installation in a few hours. Specialist Tool kits are available to purchase with our kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I choose between a front and rear hub motor kit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing between a front and rear hub motor kit depends on your bike's design and riding preferences. Front hub motors are often easier to install as they don't interfere with the rear gears or chain. They provide a pulling sensation and can improve traction on loose surfaces by being two wheel drive. However, they can affect steering on some bike designs. Rear hub motors are more common and provide a pushing feel that many riders find more natural. They work well with the bike's weight distribution, especially when climbing hills. Rear motors are also less noticeable hiding behind the gear cluster, giving your e-bike a more traditional look. However, they can be more complicated to install, especially if your bike has disc brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat range and performance can I expect from a bicycle hub motor?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe range and performance of a bicycle hub motor depend on several factors, including the motor's power, battery capacity, terrain, rider weight and level of pedal assistance used. In Australia, legal road-going e-bikes are limited to 250W of continuous power, which typically assists up to 25km\/h. With a standard battery (usually around 400-500Wh), you can expect a range of 40-80km on a single charge under normal conditions. Hub motors excel at providing smooth, consistent power on flat terrain and are generally efficient for commuting. They may struggle a bit on very steep hills compared to mid-drive motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2023-09-26T10:51:03+10:00","alt":null,"width":575,"height":544,"src":"\/\/rev-bikes.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/500w_wheel.jpg?v=1695689463"}},{"id":462935458096,"handle":"rev-ebikes","updated_at":"2024-12-18T23:52:41+11:00","published_at":"2023-09-26T10:51:11+10:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"web","title":"Integrated E-Bikes","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eFactory built e-bikes designed and spec'd by REV Bikes, featuring integrated batteries.

They're quiet, clean and require minimal maintenance. You'll find them in three main types: hub motors built into the wheel, mid-drive motors at the pedal crank, and friction motors that contact the tyre. In contrast, a regular bike engine typically refers to a petrol-powered motor, which is louder, requires fuel and needs more upkeep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I choose the suitable electric bike motor for my needs?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA front or rear hub motor might be ideal if you're after a simple, low-maintenance option for flat city riding. These are common on many ready-made e-bikes and conversion kits. For hilly terrain or off-road use, a mid-drive motor is often better as it leverages your bike's gears for more efficient climbing. Consider the motor's power - remember, for road-legal use in Australia, it must not exceed 250W of continuous rated power. Also, think about torque, which affects how well the motor handles hills and acceleration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I increase the power of my electric bike motor?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it's technically possible to increase the power of an e-bike motor, it's important to note that in Australia, e-bikes used on public roads must not exceed 250W of continuous rated power. Increasing power beyond this limit would make your e-bike illegal for road use. Some enthusiasts modify their motors for more power for off-road use only, but this can void warranties and potentially damage the motor or other bike components if not done correctly. If you find your current motor underpowered, it's usually better to consider upgrading to a different motor that suits your needs while staying within legal limits. Or building an e-bike using a higher power conversion kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow long do electric bike motors typically last?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally, a good quality e-bike motor can last anywhere from 3 to 10 years or more. Many manufacturers rate their motors for around 10,000 to 20,000 kilometres of use. Being simpler, Hub motors often last longer than mid-drive motors with more moving parts. Regular maintenance, such as keeping the motor clean and dry, can significantly extend its life. The motor's longevity is also affected by how you use your e-bike. It's worth noting that while the motor itself may last many years, you might need to replace the battery earlier, as batteries typically have a shorter lifespan of 3-5 years, depending on usage and storage conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2023-09-26T10:50:59+10:00","alt":null,"width":1024,"height":683,"src":"\/\/rev-bikes.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/250w-mid-drive-motor-kit-with-rack-battery-8funrack.jpg?v=1695689460"}},{"id":462935032112,"handle":"lekkie","updated_at":"2024-11-20T09:50:06+11:00","published_at":"2023-09-26T10:50:50+10:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"web","title":"Lekkie","body_html":"\n\u003ch2\u003eLekkie Bike Parts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLekkie has earned its reputation as a leading supplier of e-bike components thanks to its dedication to performance, durability, and precision engineering.

Since the rider can adjust the torque and speed by changing the mechanical gears, the feel of assistance is more natural, allowing for a smoother and more responsive ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this technical control over torque, these motors are ideal for tackling steep hills and rugged terrain, providing the extra power needed for challenging rides. The motors are compatible with a wide range of bikes, from carbon mountain bikes to hybrid commuters and cargo bikes, making them a versatile option for riders who want to enjoy the benefits of electric power without buying a new bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have a range of both torque-sensing mid-drive conversion kits (meaning the motor gives you more power when you push harder on the pedals, and backs off when you back off, regardless of the level of assist you choose), and Cadence-sensing mid-drive kits too (the motor does not vary if your pedal pressure changes, it just varies as you adjust the level of assist).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cadence-sensing BAFANG Mid Drive Kit (with 250w to 1000w motor options) is equipped with a powerful motor that delivers up to 120Nm of torque, making it perfect for climbing steep inclines and tackling off-road trails. With its mid-drive design, the motor takes full advantage of your bike's gears, offering more efficient power usage and extending your ride range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row faq_content faqsection\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat's unique about a mid-drive electric bike kit compared to other types?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mid-drive electric bike kit is unique because it places the motor at the bike's centre, near the pedals. This central position offers several advantages. It provides a more natural riding feel, as the motor's power is applied through the bike's gears, just like your pedalling. This makes mid-drive systems particularly effective on hills and varied terrain. They also keep the bike's weight centralised, which improves handling and balance. Mid-drive kits with torque-sensing power delivery, like the new CYC models, are popular for their efficiency - they only enhance what the rider is doing in terms of effort, resulting in longer range per charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I know if a BAFANG mid-drive kit will fit my bike?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, check your bike's bottom bracket - the part where the pedal cranks attach. BAFANG kits typically fit standard 68-73mm bottom bracket shells, unless you order a longer axle model or an adapter. You'll also need to ensure your frame has enough clearance around the bottom bracket area to accommodate the motor. Chain line is another consideration, wide chainstays can be problematic for motor and chainring clearance. It's also worth checking the kit's wattage - remember, for road use in Australia, you're limited to 250W of continuous power. If you're unsure, send us a picture of your bike and we can try to advise, or visit your local Installer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat maintenance does a crank drive motor (mid-drive) require?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular checks should include ensuring all mounting bolts are tight, as the motor's torque can cause loosening over time. The chainring and chain will wear faster than regular bikes, so they'll need more frequent replacement. Keeping the motor clean and dry is crucial, especially after riding in wet or muddy conditions. Some models have a port for adding grease to internal gears - check your manual for specific instructions. We recommend a motor service and grease change every 4000kms or so. While the motor is usually sealed and low-maintenance, the sensors and connections should be kept clean and checked periodically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does the power delivery of a mid-drive conversion kit compare to a hub motor?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMid-drive motors apply power through the bike's chain and gears, which is more technical to use, but allows for more nuanced and efficient power use. You'll notice this especially when climbing hills - a mid-drive motor can gear down to increase torque (while dropping speed), where a hub motor only has the one gear ratio to work with. The mid-drive's central position also provides a more balanced feel, particularly when cornering or on rough terrain. Hub motors, in contrast, provide power directly to the wheel, which can feel more like a \"push\" or \"pull\". But hub motors tend to maintain a more consistent speed across different terrains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","image":{"created_at":"2023-09-26T10:51:07+10:00","alt":null,"width":1024,"height":648,"src":"\/\/rev-bikes.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Bafang-motor.jpg?v=1695689467"}},{"id":462935490864,"handle":"other-ebike-parts","updated_at":"2024-11-20T09:50:06+11:00","published_at":"2023-09-26T10:51:12+10:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":null,"published_scope":"web","title":"Other E-Bike Parts","body_html":null},{"id":462934835504,"handle":"overpowered-conversion-kits","updated_at":"2024-12-17T17:45:07+11:00","published_at":"2023-09-26T10:50:36+10:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":null,"published_scope":"web","title":"Overpowered Conversion Kits","body_html":"\u003ch2\u003eRoad Legal Electric Bikes\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nBy definition in Australia, an electric bike cannot exceed 250w* of rated output, and must be operated by a pedelec system (not a throttle), with a speed limitation of 25km\/h.
