        NO they are NOT legal in QLD. [check your own state laws] refer the legislation:

        Max. speed 25kmh, you state 27kmh

        Must comply with the European Standard for Power Assisted Pedal Cycles (EN15194).

        Must have a permanent marking on it that shows it complies with this standard.

        [Does yours comply?]

      Agreed and that's a good pick up, but if someone in Vic or QLD would be silly enough to pay for the shiping costs that are offered here, well they shouldn't be on Ozbargain.

      A quick check on ebay, shows local resellers of similar bikes for less asked in Vic and QLD, where shipping is less/nothing

      So negatively voting the deal, as its NO deal now the OP is promoting this by the inclusion of shiping costs to states where it's illegal and more expensve to buy because of these shipping costs

      • jv on 02/02/2018 - 10:08

          @thetrain:

          certified to EN 15194

          The OP only just edited their post now to state that but are yet to provide any proof.

          Also, the OP posted that these bikes can reach a speed of 27 km/hr unassisted, which makes it illegal.

          They also claim the price includes GST, but they are not registered to collect GST.

        • thetrain on 02/02/2018 - 10:22

          @jv: that is hard to check but in general if is

          -power assisted to less than 25 km/h
          -under 250 W
          -requires pedaling to get power assitance

          then it is compliant

          @thetrain:

          -power assisted to less than 25 km/h

          Correct.

          Rather than post the facts, the OP keeps changing any detail that someone finds a flaw with. It's hard to believe what they are claiming has any truth at all.

          There have been 10 edits thus far changing the details.

      Definition of a power assisted bicycle from your link

      -A bicycle certified as a Pedalec (compliant with European Committee for Standardization EN 15194:2009 or EN 15194:2009+A1:2011 Cycles - Electrically power assisted cycles - EPAC Bicycles). This bicycle features an auxiliary power producing no more than 250 watts and specifies this as a continuous rating. It also restricts the top power assisted speed to 25 kilometres per hour and requires the rider to pedal to access the power.

      If this bike is certified to EN 15194 it is a bicycle

      • jv on 02/02/2018 - 10:26
        +3

        If this bike is certified to EN 15194 it is a bicycle

        No proof that this is certified though.

    Definitely not a bargain because even with a quick search on ebay, you can find other motorcycles such as this which has a bigger battery (12Ah), all the inclusions and free shipping for a chump change of $778 after discount ($999 RRP!) comparative to yours with all the said inclusion and shipping to Melbourne would be $1199 + however much the back tray is ($799 + $200 10Ah + $200 shipping).

    Too many edits on post due to legality questions, not sure if can even believe whether the bike's actually legal now. Also, company charges GST but isn't GST registered.

    EDIT:

    DO NOTE MAX SPEED IS ACTUALLY 27KM/H AND IS ILLEGAL. OP edited deal above to "fake" legality but I found their listing elsewhere https://www.amazon.com.au/El-Rapido-City-Cruiser-Ebike/dp/B0… stating max speed is 27KM/H

      Well played, what does it say about a seller that finds out about the laws and regs. after he/her has imported the goods, and then hides/removes/tweaks his/her advert?

      ebay is just as bad

      They are selling a illegal product, unless used on private property, end-of-story!

      If you purchase one and get pinged, hope the sellers lawyer assists :-)

        Agree, whether one agrees with the law or not, it certainly looks like this seller either doesn't know their product, doesn't know the law or doesn't care about accurately describing their product. In my view, all are unethical and shouldn't be encouraged on ozbargain.
        The above earns one neg ozb vote, a complaint to ACCC, NSW RTA and to NSW Fair trading. Well done OP!

    I must admit, I don't wear lycra when I'm out on my electric bike. Maybe that's the cause of the bullish responses of these comments.
    I can't see any requirement for a compliance plate in the Qld regs, I'm not sure if that's part of EN 15194.
    I estimate my motor is only 60-70% efficient, so the electrical power going in would need to be 285W to produce 200W of mechanical power at the road - that's how the regulations read.

    • RockyRaccoon on 02/02/2018 - 11:13

      Sorry but your "estimates" while they maybe correct, really wouldn't be accepted as covering any legality under the law. The rules would be based on manufacturers data or output as assessed by some authorised operation, or as defined any any regulations

    • brazen00 on 02/02/2018 - 12:05

      I can't see any requirement for a compliance plate in the Qld regs

      From here:

      A 'pedalec'—a bicycle with an electric motor capable of generating up to 250 watts of power, but the motor cuts out at 25km/h and the pedals must be used to keep the motor operating. Pedalecs must comply with the European Standard for Power Assisted Pedal Cycles (EN15194). The vehicle must have a permanent marking on it that shows it complies with this standard.

      • aargee on 03/02/2018 - 21:38

        I’ll go for option 1… which clearly states the motor ‘generating’ and not ‘consuming ‘ no more that 200W, I mean that’s what being an engineer is all about. No permanent marking required.

        “Legal motorised bicycles

        You can ride a motorised bicycle on all roads and paths, except where bicycles are prohibited. There are two types of legal motorised bicycles:

        1. A bicycle with an electric motor capable of generating no more than 200 watts of power.
        2. A 'pedalec'—a bicycle with an electric motor capable of generating up to 250 watts of power, but the motor cuts out at 25km/h and the pedals must be used to keep the motor operating. Pedalecs must comply with the European Standard for Power Assisted Pedal Cycles (EN15194). The vehicle must have a permanent marking on it that shows it complies with this standard.”

    For this sort of money, surely you expect some gears.
    And if you are riding on totally flat ground, why on earth would you want electric assist anyway?
