Technical and Legal Essentials for Australian Riders

Road-legal e-bike basics in Australia

• Pedal-assist (pedelec) up to 250 W continuous power, assistance cuts out at 25 km/h.
• Throttle-controlled bikes up to 200 W are treated as bicycles when they meet power and speed limits.
• Same rules as bicycles apply. Wear an approved helmet, use lights at night, obey road rules and local path signage.

Note: Bandit Bikes supplies e-bikes suitable for public roads and paths when used within Australian power and speed limits.

Battery and range expectations

• Typical battery: 36 V or 48 V, 10 to 15 Ah (360 to 720 Wh).
• Typical range: 40 to 80 km per charge, depending on rider weight, terrain, tyres, wind, and assist level.
• Battery lifespan: commonly 500 to 800 full charge cycles with good care.

Charging tip: Charge on a flat, dry, ventilated surface. Avoid covering the charger, and unplug once full.

Brakes, tyres, and basic care

• Disc brakes are common. If you hear scraping or see a long lever throw, book a service.
• Tyre pressures vary by size. As a guide, 700 x 38C commuters often run 45 to 65 psi. Check the sidewall and aim for the mid-range for comfort and efficiency.
• If you remove a wheel to fix a flat, re-seat it straight in the dropouts. For hub-motor axles, a typical torque is 30 to 40 Nm. If unsure, ask our team.

Fit and Setup: Get Comfortable from Day One

Choosing a frame size

• Approximate rider-height guide: Small 155 to 165 cm, Medium 165 to 178 cm, Large 178 to 188 cm, XL 188 cm plus.
• If you are between sizes, a lower standover frame is easier for frequent stops in city traffic.

Fast comfort wins

• Set saddle height so your knee has a slight bend at the bottom of the pedal stroke.
• Angle the brake levers so your wrists stay straight when seated.
• For delivery riders, consider a rear rack and panniers to lower your centre of gravity compared to a backpack.

Battery care for long shifts

• Top up during breaks to avoid deep discharges that shorten battery life.
• Store and charge batteries at room temperature when possible.
• Keep a dry contact point for the charger, and wipe connectors before charging if you have ridden in rain.

FAQs

Do I need a licence to ride an e-bike in Queensland?
No licence is needed when your e-bike meets the Australian bicycle definition. That means a 250 W pedal-assist limited to 25 km/h, or a throttle up to 200 W. You must wear an approved helmet and follow standard road rules for bicycles.

How far can I ride on one charge?
Most riders can expect 40 to 80 km per charge. Heavier loads, hills, headwinds, softer tyres, and higher assist levels reduce range. Use lower assist on flats, keep tyres properly inflated, and charge during breaks for longer days.

Can I use a Bandit Bikes rental for Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Deliveroo?
Yes, many riders use rental e-bikes for deliveries. Check your platform’s requirements for lights, visibility, and insurance. Always run front and rear lights at night, wear high-visibility gear, and keep your battery topped up between shifts.
