Features of the Rapido 2021 – City Commuter E-BikeSamsung Battery
Recharge at any household outlet. 1-YR Warranty.
36v/13ah will last you 60-70km with a 4-5 hour charge time. The Samsung cell battery guarantees longevity backed by a 1-year warranty. Slides in-and-out for ease of charging. Lockable (with a key) to help keep it secure.

Light Alloy Frame
Less weight to extend your battery range
26-inch alloy frame (weighing just 19kg without battery!). Chose from blue, red or black. All come in the step-through design so you can hop on and off with ease.
Mudguards sit above each wheel helping prevent splashback and keeping you dry in the wet.
The frame is thoughtfully designed to include a mountable rear-wheel bracket you can tie down cargo on (or passengers?).

Hydraulic Disc Brakes (Front & Rear)
Better Stopping Power & Less Maintenance
Know you can stop suddenly if required with Tektro HD-E350 hydraulic disc breaks fitted to both the front and rear wheels. With more stopping power than mechanical brakes, less force is required to apply the lever and receive the same stopping power.
However, perhaps the most important advantage of hydraulic brakes comes with maintenance. We’ve designed this e-bike to be as low maintenance for you as possible. Ready to ride at all times. Hydraulic disc brakes will automatically self-adjust as they wear down, unlike mechanical ones that require constant, complicated and fiddly adjustment to keep you riding safer for longer. For a daily commuter e-bike, hydraulic brakes are a huge benefit over mechanical brakes.

Front Suspension Forks
To keep you riding in comfort for longer and over more diverse terrain El Rapido 2021 come’s complete with SR SUNTOUR front forks.

Bafang Rear Hub Motor
Quick and smooth, with predictable, easy-to-control power
Rear hub motor design results in better traction and stronger frame mounting. It also helps you to maintain balance when steering at higher speeds.
Befang has been at the forefront of e-mobility design for almost 20 years. Backed by a 1-year warranty, you know this motor will last.
These motors are small, lightweight and discreet; located within the centre of the rear wheel.
Simply pedalling the bike will activate the motor, spurring you onwards.
Intergrated Lights (Front & Rear)
Ready to ride, day or night
Adjustable front and rear lights are integrated into the Rapido. Come nightfall you’re ready to ride safely at the flick of a switch. Plus additional reflectors for added visibility when lights are shining on you. No need to spend more on extras like after-market lighting (though we’re not against it if you want to keep really safe!).

Rear Lights & Reflectors:

Suspension Seat Post
Ride in comfort with a fully adjustable suspension seat post. This bike is one-size. Fully adjustable to suit your height and personal preference. Just select your colour and go.

Justek Seat

Half Grip Throttle
Reach speeds without pedalling
Half grip throttle to control your speed when using the motor.

Leather Grips
Leather grips that feel good in the hand and look great too.

Adjustable Handle Positon
Adjust the angle of the handlebars to suit your height and riding preference.

SHIMANO Gears
SHIMANO 7 gear set. One of the leading gear set manufacturers.

Fun bike to ride. Delivery and service has been first rate.

My 2019 El Rapido is still going as new! Best value electric bike on the market. I would just suggest to swap the grip throttle (which I never use) for a grip bell, because the bell is a bit hard to reach.
A great good-vibe local company overall that’s a pleasure to support!
Mohammad Abdur Rahman Khan –
Such a great cycle I ever purchase. Worth value of money. Highly recommend ✋✋
Matilda Longfield –
Great service, great blokes, great bike!
Amy –
11 out of 10 bikes!! Michael and Conrad were so helpful with what bike to choose. Love my Rapido! First and last electric bike .
Allan L –
I bought my second bike from the friendly and helpful guys at Vamos today. I must say the bikes have improved a lot in every way since I bought my last one 2 years ago. The prices and value for money are excellent. I highly recommend Vamos.
Linda Lombard –
Got my Rapido 3-yrs ago, as due to ill health not able to walk very far – my bike has been amazing! The service from Vamos bikes has been incredible. Recently I was having problems with my electrics on bike and they lent me another bike to ride until mine fixed. I highly recommend Vamos for superb service, great bikes – just buy one!!!
Erik Graff –
Great bike. Very happy.
LR Dayman –
Amazing bike and great customer service. I’ve already been recommending to my mates. Thanks Vamos!

5/5!
Enrique –
Of all the e bikes I’ve had, this is the best and it has a wonderful technical service where they care about customer satisfaction, honestly they exceeded my expectations.
Peta –
The only way to travel particularly in a hilly place like Sydney. To work and back for me is fantastic and no need for traffic jams, and buses and trains. I wish I got one sooner!
Lyss Anne –
I hired one out the other day and it was awesome! The guys at Vamos are lovely and even gave me advice on where to ride to!
Petra –
Perfect bike for my commuting to work from Bondi Junction to Surry Hills. I zoom up the hill back home now instead of getting off my push bike and walking! The electric bike is easy to use and fun, and I still feel like I’m getting some exercise.
TK –
Probably the best experience I have had in regards to customer service. The bike itself feels super reliable, sturdy and well made. Would recommend
Emily Hendley –
Great customer service – delivered charged to my work so I could cycle home. Absolutely love my bike! Now takes me 15 minutes to commute instead of 30!!
Lotti Wilkinson –
Love riding my bike to work across the harbour bridge. So quick and easy compared to being on a packed bus. Would recommend a Vamos bike to anyone. Make the change from public transport to Vamos Bikes 😀
顾一斌 –
Thank you!
Rachel Hudson –
I love my rapido for zipping around the city. Perfect for getting around hilly Sydney and it flies along the flats. So much fun!
Frazer Green –
Honestly the best thing to hit AUS. Great work VAMOS!
Susie Dene –
Excellent service. Having a couple of trial rides helped work out which bike to pick.
AM –
Makes getting to work so quick and easy. Can get up those hills without breaking a sweat!
