Electric Cargo Bikes in Australia - What You Need to Know

Australian E-Cargo Bike Regulations

In Australia, electric cargo bikes must meet specific legal standards to be road compliant*. The motor must not exceed 250 watts and must operate under pedal-assist only, meaning throttle-controlled models are not permitted for use on public roads. The motor should have a pedal-assist limit, usually 25km/h, meaning it will only provide electrical assistance up to that speed. As with regular bikes, riders must wear a helmet and the bike must be fitted with working lights, reflectors and a bell for safety.

*Road rules for e-bikes vary between different states and territories. Always check your local regulations before riding.

Battery Life and Range for Cargo Bikes

Most cargo electric bikes offer a battery range of 40 to 100km per charge, depending on factors like terrain, total load weight, riding mode and battery size. If you have a model with dual battery slots (such as the E-Moover), you effectively double your range and capacity.

Smart riding habits like maintaining tyre pressure and charging regularly can also help extend your battery's life.

How to Choose the Right Electric Cargo Bike

Key Features to Consider

  • Motor Power & Torque: Look for motors with strong torque (especially mid-drive systems) to help manage hills and heavy loads. A 250W motor is legal and sufficient for most urban needs.
  • Battery Capacity: Choose a battery with at least 500Wh to 800Wh for longer range and better performance under load.
  • Battery Slots: Look out for models that have dual battery capacity. Not only does this provide a back-up battery, but it also extends your range and capacity on long journeys.
  • Cargo Space: Make sure your cargo bike electric offers the space and configuration you need.
  • Durability & Frame Design: Look for strong, stable frames made from high-quality materials, such as aluminium alloy. Low-step designs offer easy mounting, while extended wheelbases improve balance when fully loaded.
  • Braking & Safety Features: Disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, even under heavy loads, while integrated lights and reflectors improve visibility on the road.
