  • Do these Kogan bikes combust randomly when charging?

  • $48 delivery to WA.

      Free if you ride it to WA? Just have to find a couple of charging points on the Nullarbor.

      • If made it back from WA thats a hell of a product

  • do you think a man can rock this?

      • That one looks nice. Looks like they are both similar. The one you posted has "Mechanical Disc Brakes", while the one in this post has V brakes. Wonder which one is better?

        • +1

          Disc brakes outperform those V rim brakes in every category.

        • The other one has gears, this does not. If you intend pedalling, get the gears, only $30 more.

      • I don't need to go far but I live on top of a massive hill, how would this go uphill?

        • +1

          Get the other one wirh gears

    • Only if your name is Mr Dong Hung Lo

    Op you need to say plus shipping. I bought it last time when $299 plus shipping. Fantastic ebike for the price. Download the manual online as it’s much better than the one shipped with.

  • I bought this bike when it was on sale earlier in the year for $299. I've been quite impressed, great little ebike if you don't want to go very fast. The electric assist is great to get the bike to a cruising speed, but it can't really go faster than that.

    • So you can't paddle more than 25km?

      • Ebikes have all a speed limit of 25km, however if you go downhill you’ll go faster than that.

        • With gears, you should be able to do more than 25 on the flat. This model will be limited by how fast your feet can spin.

        I wouldn’t advise using it as a kayak…paddle😀

  • How much cheaper are electric vehicles gonna be for folks without solar when power’s hopped by 52% (or whatever the official figure is)?

    I’ve zero interest in dissing the transition but I’m curoious.

    • Huh?

    • +2

      electric scooter and electric bike is probably a better investment.

      Been using a scooter for commute to work. All that travel has basically paid off my scooter.

      Electricity wise, I've done 2100km and 149 charge cycle on the battery, meaning 70.6kWh. Translates to a total of $21.18 worth of electricity ($0.3/kWh in WA).

      I also charge my scooter at office for almost half of the total charging time. Which means in reality, the figure is much less than $21.18

      • charge my scooter at office

        Yeh wonder how much longer we can mooch for. My GP’s had powerpoints in the waiting room disconnected and that’s in fcking Toorak!

        • Why do you expect your GP to pay for part of your power bill?

        • +1

          Don't know why you think your GP's powerpoints are disconnected because of people charging stuff.

          But my bosses are actually pretty cool with me charging at office. In fact, they support people reducing carbon footprints. I would think 33 Watts/km travel is a very power efficient transportation.

          At times I also brought it to my gym and I usually park it behind the counter and asked them if I could charge it there.

          I think people are better than you think.

            @juns: Depends if everyone starts doing it.

          • @juns:

            my bosses are actually pretty cool with me charging at office

            Yeh, the question is how long for?

            • @0jay: Dunno, I guess I have benefitted from the current setup by being one of the early adopter of electric scooter then.

              • @juns: The media’s saying govt projections expect costs to rise by another 50%+

                • @0jay: even if 50% increase, that's still a $0.014/km on an electric scooter.

                  • @juns:

                    that's still a $0.014/km

                    Some 50% of which your employer is currently paying.

                    It’s fine you’re finding it a cheap and convenient form of transport. The point is the higher the cost of power climbs the more people will probly discover the same advantages, the more pressure’s applied to companys who are currently cool with workers sipping at their outlets.

                    Gonna be a reckoning before long, seems to me.

                    • @0jay: I don't think people will buy scooters just because people find it cheaper.

                      There are situations where if you have a family and need to pick/drop your kids, scooter is just not viable. Also if you live too far from work.

                      Some people probably don't want them because they are worried if it's too dangerous.

                      Those arguments I presented is probably only relevant to those who are in the fence, researching or just curious.

                      • @juns: You’re posting on a bargain site, brother.

                        I have a buddy in his late sixties, partner in a law firm who scooters to work and charges at the office. All kind of people are doing it, both to save money on transport costs and other reasons.

                        If you reckon these numbers wont grow (and the cost to employers for eg on the power bill) then I’m not sure what else to say.

                        @juns: Mebbe you’re right.

                        Mebbe we’ve reached peak powermooch.

                      • +1

                        @juns: We overcame the issue of the family pick up on one bike.

                        • @Czar Chasm: Yeh there’s a (real) image of Vietnamese family on a combustion scooter - 2 kids wife, pig(!) and baby in a bucket.

    • laughs in western australia

    • Once most homes have fast chargers with solar panels and sure most will let you charge for nominal fee

      • Yeh?

        How much reliably sunny coverage do you need to fill the needs of an average family to charge 1 family sized vehicle (with runoff harvested for household needs)?

        Reckon panel efficiency’d need to jump pretty smartly to have spare power to sell off to neighbours who rent or otherwise unable to harvest themselves.

        • If only there was a place where you could go search and find answers

          • @Tleyx: Was rhetorical. You’d need a ton of coverage and you’d likely want to take advantage of it for your own use.

            I only know a few people with full on solar but seems like everyone’s happy to use what they generate as distinct from selling it on to neighbors, were that an option.

  • I bought one. how long the battery last (cycle)

    which cheap battery to buy when it finish?
