NCM (Leon Cycle)
NCM T7s Step-Thru Trekking E-Bike
A step-through trekking e-bike built by Leon Cycle, the German company behind the NCM brand. A big 912Wh battery and an efficient rear-hub motor are aimed at riders who want a comfortable, upright commute with enough range to stop thinking about charging.
Shengmilo
Shengmilo S600pro Dual-Motor Electric Mountain Bike
A full-suspension electric mountain bike with dual hub motors and a large 1200Wh battery, aimed at riders who want serious off-road capability rather than a city cruiser with fat tyres.
SAMEBIKE
SAMEBIKE RS-A02 Plus Foldable Electric Bike
A folding fat-tyre e-bike with a punchy 2400W peak motor and a 816Wh removable battery, built for riders who need to fold it into a car boot or a small apartment between rides.
NCM (Leon Cycle)
NCM Aspen Fat Electric Bike
A fat-tyre snow/all-terrain e-bike from the same German manufacturer behind the T7s, with name-brand parts (Tektro, Shimano, RST) rather than the no-name componentry typical of this price bracket.
Shengmilo
Shengmilo S600 Dual-Motor Electric Bike
The standard S600 — Shengmilo's other dual-motor fat-tyre e-bike, with the same 2×80Nm torque as the S600pro but a smaller battery.
QIKAITU
QIKAITU Road Legal Electric Bike (K800)
A dual-motor, 50km/h-capable fat-tyre e-bike with a long claimed range (120km in pedal-assist) — despite the reassuring "Road Legal" name, its top speed is well above Australia's unregistered e-bike limit.
NCM (Leon Cycle)
NCM Prague Electric Mountain Bike
The lightest e-bike in this catalogue: a 25kg cross-country-style electric mountain bike with a Bafang motor and genuine trail-riding parts from Suntour, Schwalbe and Shimano.
SAMEBIKE
SAMEBIKE LO26 Plus Folding Electric Bike
A folding fat-tyre e-bike with a 2000W motor and a colour TFT display, sitting between SAMEBIKE's other folding models on price and power.
SAMEBIKE
SAMEBIKE LOTDM200-II Folding Electric Bike
The cheapest e-bike in this catalogue and SAMEBIKE's entry-level folding model, with 20-inch fat tyres and a lock-out front suspension fork.
How to choose an electric bike in Australia
Match the type to how you'll ride
City e-bikes suit commuting and errands, mountain models suit trails and rougher ground, and folding models suit small apartments, lifts and car boots. We currently list 1 city e-bike, 5 mountain e-bikes and 3 folding e-bikes. If storage or public transport is the deciding factor, start with our folding e-bike guide.

Weigh up battery capacity and motor power together
Battery capacity (in watt-hours, Wh) is the best single guide to how far a bike can go: across the e-bikes we list it runs from 468Wh to 1,200Wh. Motor power is quoted inconsistently — 3 of our 9 e-bikes list 250W, 4 list 1,500W to 2,400W (3 of them explicitly as peak power), and 2 don't state a wattage. Peak figures aren't the same as the continuous rating used in Australian rules, so don't compare them like for like.
Be realistic about range and weight
Claimed ranges across our e-bikes run from 45km to 180km, but each is the manufacturer's or seller's own figure, measured under different conditions (for example the lowest assist level, pedal-assist or pure electric). Expect less in the real world, especially with a heavier rider, hills, headwinds or a high assist level. The listed weights run from 25kg to 38kg — worth knowing before you lift one onto a car rack or carry it up stairs.
Check it meets Australian rules
Under the national standard, an e-bike is treated as an ordinary bicycle if it's pedal-assist only, has a motor of up to 250W continuous rated power and stops assisting at 25km/h; go beyond that and it may be treated as a motor vehicle that needs registration. Some listings here quote more than that: 4 list motor power above 250W (up to 2,400W) and 2 list a top speed above 25km/h (up to 50km/h). Check the exact model against the rules in your state before you buy — footpath rules, fines and the Northern Territory's separate rules are covered in our state-by-state guide.

Check warranty, delivery and returns
Only 3 of the 9 e-bike listings we compare state a warranty, and the terms differ: the Shengmilo S600 lists "1 year frame, 6 months motor/battery". Delivery, returns and warranty claims are set by Amazon or the seller named on each listing, and we hold few of those details — so read the seller information and delivery estimate before you check out. Dispatch times vary too: our notes say the SAMEBIKE RS-A02 Plus, SAMEBIKE LO26 Plus and SAMEBIKE LOTDM200-II listings are "usually dispatched within 6 to 7 days". Assembly is another thing to check: 4 listings say the bike arrives partly pre-assembled, so find out how much is left to do.
E-bike FAQs for Australian buyers
Do I need a licence or registration to ride an e-bike in Australia?
Generally, an e-bike that meets the national standard (pedal-assist only, up to 250W continuous rated power, assistance cutting out at 25km/h) is treated as an ordinary bicycle, so it doesn't need registration. An e-bike that goes beyond those limits may be classed as a motor vehicle, which does. Some states add their own rules on top — Queensland, for example, has added licence and age rules from July 2026 — so confirm with your state or territory's transport regulator before you buy or ride.
Are Electric Bikes Legal in Australia? 2026 State-by-State Guide →What e-bike power is legal in Australia?
The national standard is a motor of up to 250W continuous rated power that stops assisting at 25km/h. Be careful comparing listings: some quote peak power rather than continuous power, and some bikes can be switched into faster modes. If a listing quotes much more than 250W or a top speed above 25km/h, check how that applies in your state — and confirm with your regulator — before you buy.
Are Electric Bikes Legal in Australia? 2026 State-by-State Guide →How far will an e-bike battery really go?
Usually less than the headline number. The claimed ranges for the e-bikes we list run from 45km to 180km, but they are the manufacturer's or seller's own best-case figures, measured under different conditions. Rider weight, hills, wind and assist level all change the result, so treat the claim as an upper limit. Comparing battery capacity (468Wh to 1,200Wh across our e-bikes) alongside the range claim gives you a more like-for-like guide.
Is a cheap e-bike worth it?
It depends how much risk you're comfortable with. Prices in our catalogue run from $1,390.00 to $2,799.00 as last checked (Amazon prices change, so confirm the current price). On Amazon, 6 of our 9 e-bikes have fewer than 5 reviews, including the cheapest, the SAMEBIKE LOTDM200-II at $1,390.00, which has 1 review. The best-reviewed is the Shengmilo S600pro, with 48 reviews at 4.3 stars. A low price with a thin review history tells you little about long-term reliability, so check the review count, the seller and the warranty terms (only 3 of 9 state one) before you buy.
Is a folding e-bike worth it?
If you need to store it in a small space, take it in a lift or fit it in a car boot, a folding e-bike can make sense. Folding doesn't make them light, though: the 3 folding e-bikes we list weigh 28kg to 33kg. If you have room to store a normal-sized bike, a fixed-frame model may suit you better — our folding e-bike guide compares the options.
