On sale and shipping from GeekBuying's AU warehouse is this powerful eBike that's been designed for offroad thanks to the fat 20 x 4.0" tyres that'll handle all sorts of terrain including sand on the beach, gravel and plenty of offroad tracks in the bush. There's a front suspension fork with lockout for smoother riding too.

Other features include 7 speed Shimano gears, a large 48V/13Ah removable battery, 120km range in pedal assist mode, 38.5km range in full power, 750W motor (960W peak), 25km/h speed (locked), 42km/h max speed (unlocked), Tektro mechanical disc brakes, LCD display and a rear rack for storage.

Like other eBikes it can be folded up to more easily fit in the back of your vehicle. It weighs 33.6kg and suitable for riders up to 150kg.

Given the motor is 750W this exceeds the 250W/500W legal limit in Australia making it illegal to ride on public roads. However it's perfectly fine for private property and some offroad tracks (check your local state/territory laws).

    Can only be ridden on private property.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 27/06/2023 - 23:17

      The law applies to public roads. Offroad tracks are not public roads (unless otherwise stated) so they can be ridden. Obviously if there's a sign prohibiting bikes or vehicles then they wouldn't be allowed.

        Correct, so these can only be ridden on private roads.

            @Clear: In Vic, they are illegal.

            All offroad motorised bikes require to be registered and the rider licensed.

              These are considered to be motorcycles. The rider will be required to hold a motorcycle licence and have the vehicle registered before it can be used on the road network. Motorcycles cannot be ridden on footpaths or bicycle paths.

              Still fine for offroad use.

                    In Victoria, it is not legal to ride off-road – for example in State forests and reserves - without your licence and at least recreational registration.

                      @jv: Certainly one I'll leave for the lawyers as the legal definition of a motorcycle in Victoria is:

                      “Motorcycle” means a two wheeled motor vehicle with an engine cylinder capacity exceeding 50ml (50cc) or a maximum speed exceeding 50km/h and includes a motor cycle with a trailer, forecar or sidecar attached.

                      Either way Engwe and GeekBuying acknowledges that this model may be illegal to use in some states and territories. Part of the reason why Engwe are clearing these models.

                              your the one floggling emotorbikes saying you can ride them on share paths

                              Wrong. I've never said they're allowed on the road network including shared paths. I've said off-road tracks which are different. Victoria's legislation that defines a motorcycle contradicts what you linked before.

                              Either way I've said in the deal it's illegal everywhere for Victoria since their laws are stricter.

    …..these are not legal for share paths, bike paths or offroad tracks, parks etc.

    What is not a power assisted bicycle?

    A motorised bicycle is not classed as a bicycle if:

    the motor is not an auxiliary source of power (a person must still be able to propel the bicycle via pedals without the motor operating).
the motor's power output exceeds 200 watts (whether or not the motor is operating) unless it is an EPAC.

    These are considered to be motorcycles. The rider will be required to hold a motorcycle licence and have the vehicle registered before it can be used on the road network. Motorcycles cannot be ridden on footpaths or bicycle paths. Motorcycle riders must wear an approved motorcycle helmet.

    • ruriruri on 28/06/2023 - 11:52

      The law is not limiting the motor size/power. It's limiting the power output "generated".
      By choosing a lower gear, the power output "generated" will be lower even on a high power motor.

    Not legal in WA except on private property. They are effectively a poor man's trail bike.
    We have designated "off-road vehicle" areas, but you still need ORV registration, $45/year. I doubt these bikes would meet safety standards.

    You could probably get away with it, but small 20" wheels is not generally a good idea off-road, especially with a more powerful motor.
    OK on flat sand, but not a good choice on any sort of rough trail. Go bigger.
    Still, better than those death-trap over-powered scooters, or worse, quad-bikes. Don't end in permanently on wheels!

    Has anyone looked at registering one of these as a recreational / conditional vehicle - like you would a service quad bike or golf cart etc.
