Counts are e-bike models in the EbikeMate catalogue. “Legal” means the published specs are within 250 W and 25 km/h; “Over” means they exceed either; “Unknown” means the maker or retailer doesn’t list both the rated power and the assist speed — check the bike’s label.
Common questions
Which e-bike brands are not legal in Australia?
No brand is illegal as such — it comes down to each model. Some brands sell versions over 250 W or with assistance above 25 km/h to Australians, often alongside a compliant 250 W version. Check the exact model and its label.
EbikeMate doesn’t sell these bikes or review them, and a listing here isn’t an endorsement. Specs change between model years and markets. Spotted an error? Tell us.
