We’d like to thank all our customers over the last 6.5 years at the Woolstores shopping centre in Fremantle. The shopping centre is going to be demolished and rebuilt in the coming year so our time here has come to an end. We are looking for a nice new shop currently in close proximity so don’t worry about all your electric bicycle needs in Fremantle.

We are trying to offload a few bikes so every week we aim to discount a certain few models. We are starting this week with offering $500 off the higher end mid-drive bicycles having either the Shimano, Bosch or Bafang mid-drive motors. These include a Gazelle, a Kalkhoff, a Lekker and a Norco model. Please come in for a final visit if you have time.

This is a Merida speeder bicycle that has been converted with a simple conversion kit. The bicycle is a flat-bar road bike that is extremely common for commuters that want a balance of speed and comfort. The bicycles retail for roughly $700 to $1000 depending on choice of gears and brakes and are ideal for people wanting a fast bike suitable for conversion.

Here, we have installed a rear hub motor and a cylindrical lithium ion battery. The system can be run with a throttle only, a pedal assist only system or a combination of both throttle and pedal assist function. This is the KD51C display, it is a neat display that allows you to have up to 9 levels of pedal assist power.

If you have your own flat-bar road bike, or similar, then it is well worth considering installing a conversion kit on it. It allows fast and comfortable electric bike commuting and can be fully customised to your riding desires.

It is hard to find the right dual suspension bike to convert to electric. Numerous problems, space in frame for a battery, suitable bottom bracket if wanting a mid-drive, non-thru-axles if you want a mini-motor. In our time, we’ve come across a few suitable bikes but they are few and far between. This is the Giant Trance X1 that a customer brought in for conversion and is one of the few that are suitable for either a mid-drive motor or a rear hub motor. In this case, the customer chose a small mini-motor and the 14Ah Tiger Shark battery mounted in the frame. It works a treat!

Everyone working in our shop that is able has been fully vaccinated against COVID and we hope you will be too.

Show us proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and we will give you 10% discount on anything in the shop for the months of July and August 2021.

Every now and then we get a bike come in for conversion that isn’t able to fit the battery within the triangle of the bike frame. This was one such case. In general, the handling is better if you can use one of the tube or tiger shark batteries that fit within the frame but if you can’t then the best option is to mount it on the carrier rack. If putting the battery on the back then, then it’s good to avoid a rear hub kit as well because it becomes quite back heavy. A front hub kit is ok on steel rigid forks but not suited to a suspension fork. This leaves the mid-drive kit as the best option and this is what we used here. The bike came together really well. Owner very happy.

This was a beautiful old Peugot racing bike that has been kept in very fine condition all its life. The owner was super keen to make it electric. We were required to convert it to a flat bar due to the owner wanting to have a throttle and they are not compatible with a drop-bar. He opted for a mid-drive Bafang conversion kit and the large battery to offer a great riding range. It’s certainly quick on the road and he was extremely pleased with the result.

Please come and visit us at our Fremantle electric bike shop if you’re interested in a conversion to your existing bicycle or if you are looking for some information or test-riding of our range of electric bikes.

Every now and then the guy on the back just isn’t pedaling like he should be. Don’t worry, we have a solution here for you. This elongated bicycle was fitted with a nice front electric hub motor and a 21Ah battery located within the rear triangle. Will give a super long range and now no one needs to pedal like they should, save your energy for the destination and not the journey!

This was a lovely pic sent in by Phil. Words were “Super happy with conversion, super easy to fit.”

The NORCO Scene VLT is perhaps the most comfortable urban step-through bicycle we’ve come across. We loved doing electric conversions with front or rear hub motors on the older scene models but this year NORCO have brought out a factory produced electric model. It’s not cheap, retailing at $3990, but you’d be hard pressed to find something as comfortable and as full of hidden features as this model. For starters, the electrics include the SHIMANO STEPS E6100 system with a 504Wh battery on the down tube. The SHIMANO mid-drive motor is beautiful, it’s nearly silent and extremely well-supported in Australia on the very odd chance there is a failure. The 500Wh battery, equivalent to 36V 14Ah, will give a great riding range as well. Likely around 50-100km depending on power mode setting and rider input. Other features include Alivio 9 speed gears, Tektro HD hydraulic disc brakes, through-axles and a dropper seat pole. If you are looking for an extremely comfortable and high quality ebike then we highly recommend you come into our Fremantle shop for a free test ride. They are available in jade, black and blue with small, medium and large frame sizes.

Dane was one of a bunch of people who took advantage of a 6.6kW grid-connected solar system fully installed plus an electric bicycle for $5K. Perfect timing as the sun is just beginning to shine. Electricity bills will be down by around $100/month and petrol expense will be down by about $200/month based on rough calculations. Hopefully his waist line will be down by a few inches come Christmas as well with all the extra riding he’ll be doing. Click here to see special details.
