", "\nThe new Reid KADe electric cargo bike gives you all the key features of the leading bikes in this new and exciting category - but for a fraction of the price:
\nWhy sit in traffic and fight for a park each day?
This is the electric bike you’ve been waiting for to replace the car on most of your local journeys - to school, the shops, work or visiting friends on the weekend. Load up with children, shopping or deliveries and easily pedal on your way!
Kids, hills, heavy loads? No problem.
With a reliable 110Nm of torque from the Ananda M100 mid-drive motor, you can power uphill and under load with pedal assistance up to 25km/hr for over 150km on a single charge of the dual battery system. Plus you can easily lug it all with our handy range of cargo and passenger carrying accessories including padded rack seat and baby seats.
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. With a low centre of gravity from the mid-mount motor position, 24” wheels, step-through frame (so you can put your feet on the ground at stops), clever geometry and long wheelbase; this bike is designed so that even smaller riders can handle it confidently while lugging a lot of weight or a few wriggling children.
One size fits most
Thanks to relaxed geometry and a highly adjustable cockpit, the KADe comes in one size but can be shared around the family from 5’ to 6’5”. Simply set the handlebars and saddle height and start riding.
Safety first
From thoughtful and balanced design, through to the powerful and easy to use Shimano MT200 Hydraulic Disc brakes with 160mm rotors, the vibrant colour and integrated front and rear lights powered from the battery - this is an electric cargo bike made for safe, daily use no matter how you choose to ride it.
You no longer need to rent an electric cargo bike
With the new KADe ecargo bike, you no longer need to rent or lease an expensive mid-drive electric cargo bike. With the money you save on using your car all the time, this affordable ebike will quickly pay for itself. The other good news is that electric cargo bikes hold their value and won’t depreciate nearly as fast as other forms of personal transport.

\nKey Features
\n\n
INSTORE / CLICK & COLLECT BIKE ORDERS
\nBikes purchased Click & Collect or instore from our Ascot Vale, Dandenong, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide or Perth stores are fully assembled by a bike mechanic and ready to ride.
\nONLINE BIKE ORDERS
\nFor online home delivery orders, bikes are shipped in a box 85% assembled and require some basic final assembly like turning handlebars and inserting pedals. Click here for our Assembly Video Guides that give instructions on how to do this step-by-step.
Q. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN ANANDA MID DRIVE MOTOR?
\nMid-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?
\nElectric 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.
\nQ. HOW FAR CAN I TRAVEL ON A FULL CHARGE?
\nThe 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.
\nYou 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.
\nQ. HOW DO I CHARGE AN EBIKE AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
\nSimply 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.
\nQ. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO CHARGE?
\nA fraction of what it takes to power a car! At 30c/kWh x 0.418kWh = 12.5c for a full charge.
\nQ. CAN I RIDE IN THE RAIN?
\nYes, all of these units are sealed and made for all-conditions riding.
\nQ. CAN I SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE AND RIDE IT LIKE NORMAL?
\nYes. Remove the battery pack and it will feel very much like a normal bike.
\nQ. WHAT DOES ‘PEDELEC’ MEAN?
\nThe 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.
\nQ. HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SERVICE MY EBIKE?
\nWe 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.

Shipping
We offer a base shipping rate from $39.99 per bike to most of Australia. Orders containing kids bikes 20" and under will receive a discounted delivery rate at checkout. For orders containing only parts and accessories, we offer a flat rate of $9.99. Click here for more information regarding shipping.
Pre-Order
How do we know a bike is available for pre-order?
It's easy! Instead of seeing an 'Add to Cart' button on the product page, the button will read as 'Pre-Order'. It will also have text below the button with the estimated day of arrival at our Melbourne warehouse.
Is the estimated warehouse arrival date accurate?
After considering off all shipment processes and facts, we arrive at an estimated date. However, on occasion there may be factors outside of our control, which can cause subsequent delays - in which case, we will notify you accordingly.
What happens once my bike arrives at the warehouse?
Once it arrives, our warehouse team prepare your order and get this ready to send off with our delivery partners. This process generally takes 1-3 working days. Please allow 7-10 days to receive your order.
Click & Collect
Collection from one of our stores is always free! When collected in-store, your bike comes fully assembled by an experienced Reid Cycles mechanic, adjusted, and ready to go. Once your bike is ready for collection, our store team will be in contact with you. Please allow 5-10 working days (allow extra time for Perth store) after purchase to receive communication that your bike is ready to be picked up. For more information, please click here.
Bike Assembly
Remember that bikes are shipped boxed, and 85% are assembled. The final assembly required includes the installation of the handlebars, front wheel, pedals, and saddle, adjusting the brakes, and tuning the gears. We recommend that the assembly is done by a qualified bike mechanic or another suitably qualified person. Damage caused by an incorrect assembly (such as installing the pedals the wrong way around) is not covered by your warranty. Please see our 'How to guides ' for assembly instructions if you do choose to assemble a bike yourself.
Warranty
A Lifetime Warranty on every Reid frame we sell (excluding our carbon fibre range)
A Lifetime Warranty on all rigid forks (excluding our carbon fibre range)
A 2-year Warranty on all Carbon Fibre products, suspension forks, Shimano components, and Mavic wheelsets
A 2-year Warranty on all other non-consumable components
For our eScooters, we offer a 1-year Warranty on any manufacturing issues/faults
For eBike components - 1 year or 5000kms (whichever comes first). Commercial use is excluded from this warranty.
For more information on Warranty click here.
Return Policy
Our policy lasts 30 days (unless you have a warranty claim, please see our warranty info for more details). If 30 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately, we can’t offer you a refund or exchange. To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging. For more information on our Returns Policy please click here.
Bike Servicing
When should I get my bike serviced?
As a general rule of thumb, Reid recommends you get your new bike serviced after 6 weeks of riding for adjustments as parts bed in. Following this, it makes sense to at least get a service Pre-Summer and Pre-Winter.
How do I receive my two free services?
Reid Cycles offers all of our new bike customers two free workshop services within the first 12 months of ownership. These free services are for the original owner of the bike only. Redeem these services at your local Reid Store.
What is included in my free services?
Brake adjustment, Gear adjustment (front and rear), Lubricate chain, Tyres inflated to recommended PSI, Brake pad adjustment, Check and tighten bolts, Headset check and adjust, & Suggested maintenance report.
Which Reid stores offer workshop servicing?
All of our stores have a workshop to help with all your bike needs. Just make sure you contact the store in advance to book in.
