Sydney Electric Bikes is delighted to announce a brand-new rental partnership with Canberra Electric Bikes and Sydney Ebike Rentals, now offering leading electric cargo bike stockists including Eunorau, Sunmono, Benno, Tribe and Independent Ebikes.
Our rental program starts with a 4 week minimum commitment, followed by week by week extensions offering you maximum flexibility.

Unlike other cargo bike rental plans we offer every possible design and budget for our customers. We offer not only Mid Drive but Hub motor options which are far more suitable for customers who are less experienced with bike riding and gear changing.

We also offer a price point that ranges from $3000 so offer the most affordable models on the market. We also make sure your decision is based on real world experience, whether it be a consultation at one of our stores or a rental period we can really put the cargo bike through its paces.

We also make sure your cargo bike is set up with whatever accessories are most suitable for your family. We don't charge extra for those, they just come bundled with the bike.

Our rental program starts with a 4 week minimum commitment, followed by week by week extensions offering you maximum flexibility.
There is also a  "Rent to buy" option if you decide within the first four weeks that you love the bike so much and want to keep it long term. As soon as your weekly rental payments reach the agreed purchase price including any interest payments,  you will be the proud owner of the bike that you have tried and tested all along. How good is that? 

Behind every happy family riding an e-cargo bike, there is a faithful team of bike enthusiasts making sure they received the best advice possible. Sydney Electric Bikes have been selling and servicing e-bikes for more than 13 years and we are happy to share our expertise with you.

Make sure to book a free consultation with us and test ride the widest range of electric cargo bikes in Australia.

If you decide to buy the bike you are renting, you can use our calculator to work out the remaining amount to own the bike. Please note if you want to purchase a brand new model you need to make a decision to purchase within the first four weeks of rental. After that time period you can still purchase the model you have on rental or a cargo electric but you wont be able to use the rental payments as a credit against a new model. The security deposit however you can use towards a new purchase as long as there is no damage to your rental bike.

 

 

Which motor? 

Rear Hub or Mid Drive? Which bike is best for me?
 

We offer both flavours of motor rather than just a mid drive option. We have found a lot of our customers prefer the power vs pedal effort of a hub motor snd the ability to use a throttle for easy take off. Don’t rent or buy a cargo bike unless you have sampled both options. 

Rear hub motors need less effort by rider to generate the same amount of output as a mid drive motor. Especially more power on hill climbs from the takeoff.

The is no need for changing ones pedal stroke to minimise chain and cassette wear. Rider can pedal through the stroke in the same way as a normal bike. 

Mid drive motors offer a much nicer weight distribution with the motor low and centred to the frame. Bike will feel more like a standard bike.

More efficient use of the your contribution as the motor is designed to leverage the gears like a motorbike. A mid drive bike will get further range than a hub motor especially on big ascents.

Chain and cassette wear can be worse than a hub motor unless the rider is able to slow the pedal stroke to accomodate the heavy loads on the chain and cassette. On some mid drive motors like Bosch and Impulse the motor will power off when the rider shifts gears but the motor is still engaged while it spins down so the rider should slow the stroke before shifting to minimise clunky and intrusive gear shifting. This is imperative as there is no sensor to turn off the motor when shifting gears so the chance of snapping a chain or hangar is high especially on full power and on steep offroad hill climbs.

It's very hard to know what is right for your experience and budget until you actually ride the bikes so please don't form an opinion until you have actually ridden a good range of ebikes at a real ebike shop - like us. :)
