The Captain — Step-Through Electric Beach Cruiser | 100% Street Legal in Australia
The Captain is EWHIP's electric beach cruiser — and Australia's finest. A vintage-styled, step-through electric cruiser built for coastal rides, daily commutes, and every stretch of road in between. It's 100% street legal, EN15194 certified, and engineered to out-last, out-perform, and out-class every generic import flooding the Australian market.
Some electric bikes sold in Australia aren't legal. They carry uncertified batteries, oversized motors, and zero warranty support — and when something goes wrong, you're on your own. The Captain is the opposite of all that. Certified. Compliant. Built for real Australian roads, with the documentation to prove it.
The white-frame cruiser with the tufted leather seat and round retro headlight isn't just the best-looking electric beach cruiser in Australia — it's also the best protected. Two-year warranty. Thirty-day risk-free test ride. Free shipping to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and everywhere in between.
⚡ Motor — 250W Bafang Rear Hub Motor | EN15194 Certified
The Captain runs on a globally trusted Bafang Rear Hub Motor — 250W, fully compliant with Australian road law, EN15194 certified from the ground up.
That certification matters. Every EWHIP is built to the 250W legal standard, which means you're riding at the legally compliant 25 km/h assisted speed limit — no fines, no confiscations, no grey area. Just silent, effortless torque that flattens hills, cuts through headwinds, and gets you to work, the beach, or the cafe without a drop of sweat.
A 250W electric bike Australia riders can actually ride legally everywhere. That's the starting point.
🔋 Battery — 48V 20Ah Samsung Lithium-Ion | IEC 62133 & CE Certified | 2026 NSW Mandate Compliant
At the core of The Captain is a 48V 20Ah Samsung Lithium-Ion battery — certified under UL2849 and CE standards, and fully compliant with the 2026 NSW Government Battery Safety Mandates. While other e-bike brands are scrambling to meet the incoming regulatory requirements, every Captain is already there.
Up to 80km range per charge
1,000 guaranteed charge cycles
Removable pack — charge anywhere
Recharge cost of approximately $0.27 — vs $2.20+ per litre at the bowser
Fast charger included as standard.
🏖️ Tyres — 20×4.0" Vee Tire Huntsman Fat Tyres
The Captain is built for coastal Australia. The 50-Endurance compound and Over Ride puncture protection give you all-terrain confidence on beach sand, loose gravel, and slick city streets alike. The fat tyre profile also acts as a natural suspension layer — absorbing road vibration before it reaches the frame.
🛡️ Frame & Suspension — Step-Through Design | 6061 Aircraft-Grade Aluminium | Dual Suspension
This is where The Captain earns its position as EWHIP's number-one selling model.
The step-through frame keeps the top tube low — swing a leg through rather than over. Riders in work clothes or dresses mount without adjusting. Older riders and those with limited hip or knee mobility get on and off without a stretch or a jump. Women who want a proper electric cruiser built for their riding style — not an afterthought — finally have one.
The step-through electric bike Australia has been waiting for. And it doesn't sacrifice a millimetre of performance to get there.
6061 aircraft-grade aluminium frame — lightweight, rust-resistant, built for salt air, beach sand, and coastal humidity. Hydraulic front fork + motorcycle-grade rear shock absorb potholes, kerbs, and rough surfaces. Long rides stay comfortable.
🛑 Brakes — 203mm Tektro Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Fade-free stopping power from one of cycling's most trusted brake manufacturers. Consistent performance in wet roads, sandy surfaces, steep descents. On a 38kg loaded electric cruiser, this is non-negotiable.
⚙️ Gearbox — Shimano 7-Speed
Crisp, reliable shifting on any terrain. Spin easy on the flat, drop a gear for a hill, find your cadence for a long coastal ride. Shimano is the global benchmark — every shift proves it.

Are EWHIP e-bikes waterproof? Can I ride in the rain?
Our e-bikes are water-resistant, which means they're fine for riding in light rain or on wet roads. However, they’re not fully waterproof or designed to be submerged in water. When cleaning your bike, steer clear of pressure washers or high-powered jets—use a damp cloth instead.
How long does the battery last before I need a new one?
EWHIP runs on a high-quality Samsung battery that’s built to go the distance—expect around 700 to 1000 full charge cycles. That gives you a few solid years of rides, depending on how often you're out there.
Just like your phone, the battery will slowly lose some capacity over time. But with proper care, you’re looking at about 4–5 years before needing a replacement—if you're riding a few times a week.
