Micheal B:

I’ve always enjoyed riding bikes but at 76 and with some physical issues including asthma, I couldn’t ride my regular bike. A friend told me about veloz e-trikes and it seemed like the perfect solution. I am still getting used to riding the trike but with the pedal assist I am able to ride as far as I like. It seems well made and I have received good customer service and quick delivery.


Tips to choose the RIGHT electric trike in Australia

  • Motor Power: Choose motors between 250W-500W for everyday use. A more powerful motor (like 750W) is ideal for hills or faster rides.
  • Battery Capacity: Look for a battery with 48V and 10-20 Ah for sufficient range (30-60 miles per charge), depending on terrain and assist level.
  • Comfort & Ergonomics: Ensure adjustable seating, cushioned seats, and ergonomic handlebars for a comfortable ride.
  • Safety Features: Prioritize reliable brakes, reflectors, and lights, especially for night rides.
  • Suspension: Opt for front or full suspension to ensure smoother rides on rough roads.
  • Intended Use: Determine if the bike is for commuting, leisure, or off-roading to refine speed, range, and terrain suitability.
