Simple and balanced to ride
Although one of the most powerful ecargo bikes in its class, the KADe electric bike is a breeze to own and use.

FAQ - Electric Bikes

Q. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN ANANDA MID DRIVE MOTOR?

Mid-drive electric bikes offer more options in terms of gearing, smoother acceleration and lowers the centre of gravity of the bike giving a more stable ride when cornering with luggage and kids on board.

Q. HOW FAST DOES AN EBIKE GO?

Electric bikes in Australia are limited to 250w and will assist you up to 25km/hr - going faster than this is up to the effort of the rider. Any motor providing more power will be classified as a motorbike and must be registered and ridden by a licenced rider.

Q. HOW FAR CAN I TRAVEL ON A FULL CHARGE?

The range you can expect depends on how hard the battery is working. This will be affected by factors like the weight of the rider, how much luggage you’re carrying, tyre pressure, hills/terrain, road condition, wind and the level of assistance or power setting you use.

You can expect the KADe LG/Lishen dual battery system to last around 150km+ on roads with a few hills and a bit of weight on board.

Q. HOW DO I CHARGE AN EBIKE AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

Simply plug the charger into a standard wall socket at work or when you get home. To charge the batteries from 0% to 80% will take 2 hours, 100% in 4 hours. Most of the time though you’ll just need to top up rather than completely refill. You can remove the batteries from the bike to make this easier.

Q. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO CHARGE?

A fraction of what it takes to power a car! At 30c/kWh x 0.418kWh = 12.5c for a full charge.

Q. CAN I RIDE IN THE RAIN?

Yes, all of these units are sealed and made for all-conditions riding.

Q. CAN I SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE AND RIDE IT LIKE NORMAL?

Yes. Remove the battery pack and it will feel very much like a normal bike.

Q. WHAT DOES ‘PEDELEC’ MEAN?

The most popular electric bike system in Australia is the pedelec (or pedal assist) system. You ride a pedaled assisted eBike by pedalling as normal, while the electric motor adds power to each pedal stroke - flattening out the hills and getting you up to speed with much less effort.

Q. HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SERVICE MY EBIKE?

We recommend your electric bike is serviced during the first 3 months of ownership as components bed in. Frequency of servicing after that depends on usage and what maintenance you choose to do yourself in terms of caring for the chain and other basic tasks. A regular rider who does not perform any maintenance may benefit from servicing every 6 months. Click here for more information on servicing.
