Is it legal in VIC to carry a passenger on a bicycle on public roads?
How does one unlock the 35 km/h speed limit?
Is one asketh to breaketh the law?
He is doing off road, so should be okay…
Going down a steep hill .
Does pedal assist mean that you need to assist by supplying your own pedals?
E-bikes with a throttle are limited to a maximum motor power of 200 W in Australia.
This bike is not road legal in Australia.

POWER-ASSISTED PEDAL CYCLE - a vehicle, designed to be propelled through a mechanism primarily using human power, that:
(a) meets the following criteria:
(i) is equipped with one or more auxiliary propulsion electric motors;
(ii) cannot be propelled exclusively by the motor or motors;
(iii) has a combined maximum power output not exceeding 200 watts;
(iv) has a ‘Tare Mass’ (including batteries) of less than 35 kg; and
(v) has a height-adjustable seat; or
(b) is an ‘Electrically Power-Assisted Cycle’;
but does not include a vehicle that has an internal combustion engine.
actually I think that has been updated, in NSW you its now
Electrically power-assisted cycles
An electrically power-assisted cycle has a maximum continued rated power of 250 watts. This power output must be:
Progressively reduced as the bicycle’s speed increases beyond 6km/h
Cut off when:
The bicycle reaches a speed of 25km/h; or
The rider stops pedalling and the travel speed exceeds 6km/h.
https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/stayingsafe/bicycle-…
That means the throttle can only work up to 6km/h, commonly known as walk mode, which is designed to help you push the bike up hills and such)… 6 to 25km/h power can only be applied while the rider is pedaling…
Most name-brand bikes have a button to activate the walk-mode…
That is for an e-bike without a throttle (except for 'walk mode' as mentioned above). The definition exists in the Commonwealth legislation also:
ELECTRICALLY POWER-ASSISTED CYCLE (EPAC) - an electrically-powered pedal cycle with a maximum continued rated power of 250 watts, of which the output is:
(a) progressively reduced as the cycle’s speed increases; and
(b) cut off, where:
(i) the cycle reaches a speed of 25 km/h; or
(ii) the cyclist stops pedalling.
An e-bike with a throttle does not meet this definition, as the motor is not cut off when the cyclist stops pedalling.
It is also mentioned in the NSW guidelines:
A ‘pedalec’ is a vehicle complying with the requirements of European Standard
EN 15194: 2009 or EN 15194:2009+A1:2009: ‘Cycles – Electrically power assisted cycles – EPAC Bicycles’.
To comply with EN 15194:
…
• The rider must pedal the cycle to activate the motor
Therefore, with a throttle, maximum power is 200 W. Without a throttle (pedal assist only), maximum power is 250 W.
I have ridden a few electric bikes and all of them had throttles, were faster than 25km/h and nobody noticed or cared.
its is stupid regulation that is only going to prevent people adopting e-bikes as last km or alternative transport.
@Laserface: I totally agree. For normal use, no one will know. Just think people should know before buying, as their insurance might not cover them on this bike if they have an accident (depends on specific wording of the policy).
What sort of price would one expect shipping to Melbourne likely to be?
$95
Question, are the batteries on these generally okay to be removed/replaced frequently?
The scenario I'm envisioning will have me leave the bicycle locked in the garage, whilst bringing the battery into the house proper to charge.
Yes, the battery has a key and it is remivable.
Does it include both wheels ?
