EWHIP Electric Bikes
Own the streets of the coast. Ride it every day.
Premium, 100% Street Legal E-Bikes in the coast
In Australia a road-legal e-bike is a 250W pedal-assist bike that cuts assistance at 25km/h and is EN15194 certified. Many fat-tyre bikes sold online are 500W–1500W throttle machines that are illegal on roads and shared paths. Buy uncertified and you risk fines, confiscation and no insurance. Always ask for the certificate — read our full street legal e-bike guide before you spend a cent.
The battery is the most expensive and safety-critical part. Look for genuine brand-name cells (Samsung / LG / Panasonic) tested to IEC 62133, with a proper Battery Management System. Cheap unbranded cells are the number-one cause of e-bike fires. EWHIP uses genuine Samsung cells.
For legal riding you want a strong, smooth 250W motor with enough torque to climb comfortably. Torque (Nm) matters more than raw wattage for hills — a well-tuned 250W motor will out-climb a poorly built bigger one, and keeps you legal.
Performance.
Step-through frames are easier to mount, ideal for cruising, shorter riders and anyone who wants relaxed access — it's why The Captain step-through is Australia's favourite EWHIP. Café-racer frames like The Boom suit a sportier, leaned-in ride.
An e-bike is a long-term purchase. Buy from a brand with a local warranty, spare parts and support — not a drop-shipped listing that vanishes. EWHIP backs every bike with a 2-year warranty and Australian support.
The EWHIP Guarantee:
