This is one of the latest cargo bicycles coming out of Denmark. It’s called the trioBike and is imported by Cargo Cycles in Melbourne and sold by South Beach Cycles here in Perth. It’s made of plastic so has a very strong and light body and is fitted out with top of the line parts. […]

This is a review from John, who recently purchased and installed one of the SOLAR BIKE mid-drive conversion kits. We were a bit concerned about him using his own very small 4.4Ah battery but it seems to give him quite a good range. HAPPY CUSTOMER. I just wanted to give some feed back. The motor […]

There is often a trade off in life, one thing for another. Eg. The more organic you want your broccoli, the less money you’ll have to spend on beer. The more beer you drink, the worse you’ll feel in the morning. Well, the trade off in electric biking is the faster you go, the less […]

This is a pretty solid bike to make electric. It’s the Urban 20 from ORBEA. We put on the new mini-motor kit that comes in black and is laced into a deep dish 50mm red rim. Looks neat and can be driven hard up to 500W. The bike’s great, it can really be thrown around […]

Rusdy is one of the few people who have gone the extra distance to make their ebike solar powered. He’s even created a solar controller specifically for his own solar panel he had. This bike has managed to clock up over 11,000 km in a couple of years with our kit and the sun (please […]

If STAR WARS was to be re-written and Darth Vader was to ride around the Death Star on an electric bike then this would be the one he would choose! It’s got a 1000W rear hub motor and 48V Black Diamond lithium ion battery using Samsung cells. The bike is the Urban 20 from ORBEA. […]

These are two recent setups by Ace Cyclery in Palmyra. The first is a HARO with a Panasonic super tube kit and 200W mini-motor (legal one). Range of between 30-50km travelling at around 30km/h. The second is an off road MALVERN STAR bike, it’s an XCS5 with a high power 1000W kit. It uses a […]

This is 20″ single speed electric tricycle. It uses a 200W mini-motor and 9Ah tube battery. The battery was put in the rear basket but it can also be put underneath. It’s better inside the basket if you want to remove it easily. All up, this is a fantastic little trike, you really only need […]

A slider is heaps better when it’s electric. Check out our video!

This was made for a customer in Jurien Bay. Here is a slideshow of its making and a short video of a test ride. 1000W Electric Industrial Gomier Tricycle Video!

This is Dismantle’s cargo bike that has now been made electric. It uses a tube battery and 20″ disc front hub motor. It will be a mobile bicycle repair unit. Tool boxes are being made and soon Pat will be riding it around to various schools to teach bicycle skills to school children. Matt & […]

I purchased a 500 watt front wheel motor kit last April and obtained my own lead acid battery configuration. The existing bike with the 500 watt motor is a dream. I have been running it at 48 volts (instead of the system designed 36V). I’m using 4 x SLA 12v 9A/h batteries and have put […]

Jim did a very professional installation of the fixi kit. The photo shows some of the effort and craftsmanship that went into it.

This is a giant step-through bike that I put a 200W kit on for a customer. It goes very smoothly and offers excellent quiet assistance up the hills around here. The bike on the right is an electrically converted off the side of the road bike that my son absolutely loved and wouldn’t get off […]

This bike was a wreck from the side of the road that I removed everything from and kept only the frame, forks and seat. It has a front and rear 500W motor, each controlled by a separate battery and control system. Thumb throttles in each hand worked the best for me and I liked the […]

My mountain bike was converted with a 200W motor and waterbottle style battery. It goes very well and I’m impressed with it’s performance. It’s made getting around Perth so much easier and I always ride with a smile now. It’s my first step toward studying sustainable development.

This is my latest fixie that I designed (prototype number 3, model: NUTCASE) and had built up to suit the Swift kit’s light weight electrical components (click here to read the fixie story) . It’s great. The single speed is wonderful; no clunky gears and absolutely no need for them with the electric motor assistance. […]

I got this INDI 500 bike off the side of the road and put a standard conversion kit on it. This has a small 10W panel cable tied onto the carrier rack that re-charges the 36V lithium ion battery directly. There is no regulator between the panel and battery so electricians will likely tell you […]

Residents of Perth looking for an electric bike are very fortunate to have the Perth Electric Bike shop present. They can provide you with a range of bikes suited to both you and an electric conversion kit at great prices. Jack is the resident electric kit installer and is able to give great advice on […]

Peter and I traded ideas, design (see some of his work above), skills and solar bike components about 2 years ago. His bike has been running well since then and he recently sent me a short review on its performance. From Peter: “Bike still going great. I’m able to make it all the way to work […]

Jacqueline from Canberra sent in this review after converting her semi-recumbent Giant Revive into an electric machine. This was a custom order straight from the factory and took about 3 weeks to arrive as it was a 20″ rim with mini-motor. There was a little playing around to get it fitted and a few emails […]

I always have loved cycling but when I moved to ‘hilly’ Hobart the terrain took the fun out of it somewhat. Every now and then I would cycle to work and back home but I hated the steep hills on the way and so I used my bike less and less. I always thought that […]

This bike is freaking awesome! It has a 200W motor and travels over 30km/h. I had Matt from Solar Bike assemble the kit and it took a little bit of playing around to get the surfboard rack and battery well situated. Is great now. I travel daily about 24km from Mt Hawthorn to Belmont and […]

This is the most useful thing I’ve ever bought. I looked around a lot for an electric bike but didn’t want to get a typical Chinese model as I didn’t want a crappy bike and wanted a bit more power due to my weight and size. I found the kit option and have never looked […]

The bike masters from Manjimup have just put together a couple of twin beauties! These classic bikes will be seen riding around south WA for a number of years. If you really want a nice custom setup then E.Z. Rider are definitely the people to contact as they pay a lot of attention to every […]

I bought a second hand bike and attached a Solar Bike kit to it and now it’s is so exciting and fun. It has breathed new life into my working days. I have a 12km ride to work with a few mean hills in the morning and a shocker long climb in the afternoon.  I […]

I ride to work from Doncaster to Collingwood, which is a distance of 13.5km with a lot of hills. I was very surprised by the electric bike effect. When I started pedalling, the bike just took off, producing a harmonious partnership between man and machine. My normal cycle to work is sometimes a chore as I live […]

Look out boys, we’ve just helped the local sergeant get a bit faster. Kitted out with a 200W road hybrid you’ll have to be very quick to get away. This bike travels from Scarbarough to Cottesloe station daily without a hitch and keeps our streets safer than ever. “It’s a great bike and I’m on […]

I received the kit and installed it with no problems. All is working normally. I generally ride between 10k to 19k. I use the throttle sparingly as I want to pedal as much as possible. I had a heart problem in December and its OK now, but it left me with weak legs, so the Motor […]

My bike has a 200W motor and for my regular 12km trip to work it’s going fine, have yet to find out how far a full charge will take me. The longest run was 35 km and it still ran well, took about 0.5 kWhr to recharge it. Compared to petrol in cost terms, I’m […]
