Commuter E-Bikes:

Tackling daily commutes is a shared experience for most people, which is why there is a strong interest in finding the perfect commuter e-bike. In addition to speed, an ideal commuter electric bike should have a long range, be lightweight, and agile for easy transportation and storage. 

These qualities also make for effortless zipping through traffic. On top of that, a good commuter e-bike must also be equipped with safety features like a complete lighting system and strong brakes. 

Here are our top recommendations:

Aventon Soltera.2

$2,199 - Shop Now

The lightest in Aventon’s lineup, the Soltera.2 is a stylish and practical electric bike designed for urban commuting. Tipping the scales at only 21 kg, its sleek and aerodynamic frame is great for storage, transporting, and manoeuvring. 

With Aventon’s torque sensor in place, which detects and syncs with your pedalling efforts, you can expect a ride that feels more natural and intuitive. 

The Soltera.2’s 350W brushless motor delivers a top speed of 32 kph, while its 36V battery allows you to cover up to 74 kilometres on a single charge. Meanwhile, improved disc brakes with larger rotors provide confident stopping power.

Ultimately, safety is top priority with the Soltera.2, as seen in the integrated front and rear lights, rear turn signals, and a UL-compliant removable battery. It also boasts an IPX4 water-resistance rating, which can handle light rain.

Fiido C11

$1,699 - Shop Now

The Fiido C11 is a feature-packed electric road bike at a very attractive price point. Weighing just a tad heavier than the Soltera.2 at 24.5 kg, it still remains lightweight enough to be easily carried and transported.

Equipped with a robust 500W brushless motor, it has the capacity to reach speeds of up to 40 kph when unlocked. However, the 24 kph preset speed is perfect for complying with most local speed limits. A 500Wh battery allows for an impressive range of 90 kilometres on a single charge, while the hydraulic brakes bring you to a safe stop. 

If you’re riding on rough roads, you’d be pleased to know that the Fiido C11 has a front suspension fork that absorbs bumps and vibrations. Also fitted into the electric bike are a lighting system with a swivelling headlight and brake light, reflective tyres, and a horn. 

Cargo E-Bike:

Many Australians have considered using an electric bike to replace their cars, and in such instances, we have consistently recommended getting a reliable cargo e-bike. It’s a highly versatile choice, which can assist with various tasks from grocery shopping, package collection and deliveries, even transporting kids.

Strength and durability are key features for any quality cargo e-bike, plus the ability to handle a significant load. A good electric cargo bike should also be compatible with a wide variety of compatible accessories so you can customise your ride according to your needs.

Check out our top choice:

Aventon Abound

$3,499 - Shop Now

The Aventon Abound is one of our top-rated electric bikes, which is a testament to its overall ride performance and quality. The Abound’s impressive weight capacity—up to 200 kg in total—is ideal for couriers, families, individuals who have to haul heavy equipment…quite everyone, really. 

Using its long-tailed rear storage rack, you can add various accessories like a basket, a seat pad and handrail for kids, panniers, a duffel bag, and so much more.

There is no shortage of power, thanks to a 750W motor that is capable of both carrying cargo and reaching speeds of up to 32 kph. The 720Wh battery, on the other hand, covers up to 80 km on a single charge. Because of its intelligent torque sensor, suspension, and well-designed frame, the Abound delivers an ultra-smooth ride even with a load. 

Aventon has paid close attention to detail, avoiding the typical drawbacks of cargo electric bikes—no bulky, cumbersome design or hefty price tag here. Instead, you get a stylish, comfortable e-bike that's surprisingly more affordable compared to other electric cargo bikes on the market.

All-Terrain E-Bikes:

While commuter e-bikes are great for city streets, they might not be your best choice if you want to venture off-road occasionally. In this case, an all-terrain e-bike might be your perfect match. Thanks to powerful motors, robust suspension systems, and grippy tyres, all-terrain electric bikes excel on multiple types of terrain.

If you’re looking for a versatile all-terrain ride, check out the following models:

Fiido C21/C22

$2,399 (C21 Step-over) - Shop Now

$2,399 (C22 Step-through) - Shop Now

Electric gravel bikes strike a good balance between portability and all-terrain performance, and Fiido captures this well with the Fiido C21 (step-over) and C22 (step-through). Sleek and lightweight at only 17-18 kg, the e-bikes boast clean aesthetics with hidden wiring. 

At the same time, the gravel bikes are rugged, with gravel-ready features like a long wheelbase for stability, sporty geometry for better handling, and deep-tread tyres for secure and grip traction on tricky surfaces.

While the 250W motor—and the 25 kph top speed it delivers—seems moderate at best, it delivers 40 Nm of torque, which is more than sufficient for city riding and gliding over light gravel paths. Plus, a torque sensor has been fitted into the Fiido electric gravel bikes, which results in smooth and natural power delivery.

Meanwhile, the C21 and C22 are equipped with a 208.8Wh battery, which allows you to cover up to 80 kilometres in range. What’s great about the battery is that it recharges fully, from zero to 100, in just 3 hours. 

Aventon Level.2

$2,999 - Shop Now

If you require more power in your all-terrain ride, our best recommendation is the Aventon Level.2. While primarily marketed to be a robust commuter e-bike, it is equipped with top-tier components—a powerful motor and battery, a front suspension fork, and pre-installed rack and fenders—that make it perfect for tackling any terrain. 

Fitted with a 500W motor, the Level.2 is capable of reaching a 45-kph top speed as well as climbing steep inclines. Like the rest of the Aventon lineup, it features an intuitive torque sensor that delivers electric assistance based on your pedalling efforts. 

The bike does not fall short in terms of mileage either, as it can cover a whopping 97 kilometres on a single charge.

As with any Aventon, the Level.2 prioritises safety and comfort, starting from a front suspension that absorbs bumps from a rugged terrain to hydraulic disc brakes that deliver superior stopping power in all riding conditions. For navigating city streets, the Level.2 has integrated front and rear lights, which keep you visible during night-time rides.

Cruiser E-Bike:

For a lightweight bike that’s best for chill rides, your best bed is a cruiser electric bike. Laidback and reminiscent of vintage cruiser bicycles, a cruiser e-bike is designed for leisurely rides along the beach or around town. 

Here’s one of the best cruiser electric bikes in the country:

Aventon Pace 500.3

$2,599 - Shop Now

The Aventon Pace 500.3 delivers a great combination of casual style and top-tier performance. The cruiser frame alone puts you in an upright position for effortless riding, while an adjustable stem, cushioned saddle, and swept-back handlebars make riding more comfortable

A strong 500W motor propels you to speeds of up to 45 kph. Similar to other Aventon ebikes, the Pace also covers an impressive range—up to 96 kilometres on a single charge. The intelligent torque sensor is still present, which makes your cruising even smoother and more serene. It's an experience akin to riding a traditional bike, but with a gentle electric boost.

The Pace 500.3 is just as safe on the road, thanks to integrated front and rear lights and reflective sidewalls for visibility. Plus, the cruiser e-bike also features new turn signals for clear communication with other road users. 

Off-Road E-Bikes:

Passionate explorers and thrill-seekers expect nothing less than top-notch performance. Therefore, it's no wonder that they seek off-road electric bikes that offer unparalleled speed and power. These machines are built to tackle the most demanding of riding conditions—from climbing steep hills to navigating rocky paths.

Our contenders have all the essential features in place, like efficient suspension, powerful motors, and strong tyres, so you can push your limits.

C3Strom Astro Pro

$4,199 - Shop Now

One look at the C3Strom Astro Pro and you’ll know it’s all about speed and power. The futuristic-looking electric bike excels on two territories—urban and off-road—and offers a unique riding experience every time. 

Its powerful 750W motor delivers 80 Nm of torque and ultra-swift acceleration, reaching speeds of up to 50 kph on Off-Road Mode. Wherever you ride, you’re guaranteed to cover a lot of mileage, as the Astro Pro’s UL-Certified 1040Wh battery delivers an incredible range of up to 125 kilometres on a single charge. 

But the C3Strom Astro Pro is not just fast and powerful—it has also thought of everything else. A front suspension ensures smooth rides in and out of the city, while 4-piston hydraulic brakes provide the best stopping power. A long, plush saddle keeps you comfortable, especially on long-distance rides, and there is even an option to add a rear rack for storage. Finally, a complete lighting system—a front light, a tail light, and turn indicators—keep you safe and visible wherever you ride.

Aventon Aventure.2

$3,099 - Shop Now 

Just as the name suggests, the Aventure.2 is designed for the modern adventurer. Characterised by a solid 35-kg frame and oversized tyres with excellent grip, this electric fat-tyre bike is distinctly made for challenging riding situations, especially on loose terrain like sand and snow. 

The Aventure line has always been one of Aventon’s most popular models, and the Aventure.2 was made even better with a torque sensor. In the context of off-roading, this translates to better handling and control on difficult surfaces.

This sensor works together with the bike’s powerful 750W motor, which delivers high speeds up to 45 kph, as well as an efficient battery that covers up to 92 kilometres on a single charge. 

A rear rack is already pre-fitted into the Aventure.2 to make hauling gear and other essentials easier. Although built for the off-road, it handles commutes pretty well, too, as it’s equipped with a bright front light, upgraded rear lights, and integrated turn signals.

Fiido Titan

$3,299 - Shop Now

There is nothing subtle about the Fiido Titan—from its imposing frame and large tyres to the bike’s name itself. Built to handle the demands of off-road riding, the chunky frame absorbs impact well while the large 26” tyres offer excellent grip on challenging paths.

Similar to the Aventon Aventure.2, the Fiido Titan is also equipped with a 750W motor that propels you to speeds of up to 45 kph. This robust motor also makes gliding over rough terrain and climbing hills a breeze. 

Now, if you are looking for the bike with the best range, the Titan should be one of your top choices. It boasts an impressive base range of 135 kilometres, but it doesn’t stop there. By adding the Fiido Titan Extender Battery Combo, you can extend its range to a whopping 399 km. Talk about going the extra mile!

The Fiido Titan also doubles as a cargo bike. With its high total load capacity of 200 kg—120 kg on the saddle and 80 kg on the rear rack—you can transport heavy gear and equipment using this electric bike. 

Mountain E-Bike:

While off-road electric bikes are rugged and equipped to tackle challenging surfaces, electric mountain bikes require a delicate balance between strength and manoeuvrability. That's why off-road e-bikes tend to be bulky and robust, while top-notch electric mountain bikes (eMTBs) are sleek, lightweight, and incredibly agile.

Here’s our winner in the eMTB category:

Aventon Ramblas

$3,999 - Shop Now

The Ramblas has generated a lot of buzz this year as one of the most eagerly awaited electric bikes across all categories. Aventon's debut eMTB showcases their own mid-drive motor and is also their very first Class 1 electric bike. 

Out of the box, the Ramblas looks sleek and premium, very reminiscent of traditional mountain bikes. Weighing only 24 kg, this eMTB features a lightweight frame and a sporty geometry that offers familiar and efficient handling, especially on technical mountain trails. 

Inside the bike is the Aventon-made 250W mid-drive motor. As a Class 1 e-bike, the Ramblas does not have a throttle and is limited to 32 kph. However, the intelligent motor actually delivers a whopping 100 Nm of torque for swift and smooth acceleration.

For staunch adventurers, the Ramblas offers serious mileage—up to 128 kilometres on a single charge. When it comes to safety, Aventon also includes a LED headlight that clamps on the handlebars. Plus, the e-bike features an ultra-high IP67 water-resistance rating so you’re prepared for unexpected rain, dusty paths, even puddles and creeks.

Folding E-Bike:

Limited space should not put a damper on your adventurous spirit, which is why we have a separate category for electric bikes that fold. Folding for convenient storage and transportation, these e-bikes are perfect for campers, city dwellers, and anyone on the go.

Check out our top recommendation:

Aventon Sinch.2

$2,699 - Shop Now

Honestly speaking, labelling the Aventon Sinch.2 as a mere "folding electric bike" doesn't do it justice. Although it can be folded to fit into smaller areas, the Sinch.2 is not your typical folding e-bike. Instead, it is a powerful, full-featured fat-tyre electric bike that just happens to have a folding mechanism. 

Just like the Aventure.2, the Aventon Sinch.2 sports a robust build and oversized tyres that are designed to tackle loose terrain. It also has a front suspension for smooth rides over bumpy grounds. 

With a 500W motor that reaches a 32-kph top speed, the Sinch.2 has more power than your regular electric bike. Meanwhile, the 48V battery can cover up to 88 kilometres on pedal assist. Like all Aventon electric bikes, the Sinch.2 also features the brand’s innovative torque sensor. 

The highlight of the Sinch.2 is, of course, the foldable frame. The bike uses simple yet stable mechanisms, namely a central hinge, folding pedals, and a collapsible stem. The best part? The folding mechanism is incredibly secure, ensuring a stable ride every time that never feels wobbly.
