Ebikes can open up cycling to many in the community who don’t currently ride a bike. They can be used by all riders, with electric assistance that makes riding, climbing hills and carrying loads easy.
An ebike can provide active transport to replace many car trips, including:
- Supermarket shopping trips, carrying up to 60kg
- School drop offs and pick ups using a child seat.
- Local trips to coffee shops and social visits.
- Recreational rides with family and friends
Every trip on a bike is one less car on our roads, and cycling is a fun and healthy activity.
Assistance from the electric motor cuts out at 25 km/h and they can be also be used without the electric motor. No licence is required to ride one.
