Electric Tricycles in Australia - What You Should Know

Legal Requirements and Safety Guidelines

In Australia, there are specific regulations surrounding the pedal-assist and motor output of an e-bike. This means that the motor can only assist your pedalling up to 25km/h. You can still increase your speed past this point, but you won't be assisted by the motor.

Unless otherwise stated, all Progear electric tricycles are built to Australian standards and road rules.

Usually, it will take around 3 to 6 hours to reach a full charge. Once fully charged, you'll be looking at a range between 30km to 80km, but this will be influenced by the terrain, total load weight and style of riding.

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