Between my husband and I we have one car and have found an electric bike to be a great option to get around rather than getting a second car for occasional use.

Plus it’s so convenient and helpful for those local trips around town to get some groceries or visit the leisure centers.

My wife Annie went through a comprehensive process in choosing an electric bike. Ultimately Vamos ticked all the boxes. Even then the bike exceeded expectations. We were a bit concerned with not being able to check it out in person. But I thought at worst we could send it back with the free returns. Needless to say, we didn’t return it because it's great. Solidly built, super comfortable and an extremely durable battery. A great purchase.

Life on two wheels ️ Two wheels is better than four. Nice little carry space on the back and easy to ride around in. Can ride all day.

Life is like riding a bike, to stay balanced you must keep moving. I took the quote literally and decided step out of my comfort zone, and try out the 'El Rapido' bike from Vamos Bikes.

I loved it so much I decided it was my Mother's Day gift to Me.

Comfortable and user-friendly, low maintenance, and requires no experience to operate or assemble, 100% Australian road legal, and you don't need a licence or registration. With petrol prices being so high, the Vamos e-bike was the best option to get me around when solo, and has also been an amazing way to release anxiety.

In my research during the first Covid lockdown, I kept on coming back to the Rapido as the best quality-for-price "town" eBike even though it wasn't then in stock. Although I have a much loved Giant 880 front suspension mountain bike, which I rode across Spain following the Camino de Santiago, my view was a different form of bike was needed in response to the pandemic (i.e., avoiding public transport; being able to cycle in good clothes; rack for bag/shopping ...).

I'm so glad I joined the list and waited for the new model with front suspension to arrive in the country.

The Rapido ticks all the boxes for being the perfect "town" bike, and Conrad and Michael's approach to customer service is just great.

It has been almost a year since taking delivery and zipping about on my red Rapido continues to bring much joy.

One of my favourite things to do in summer is cycling. El Rapido is a real game changer. Whether it be a commute or a trip to the gym, I love being out with it. Comfy as well.

Had fun at the eco fair on this electric bike. Way better for the environment. Will save a lot of money too.

I always thought electric bikes are for old people (sorry mum and dad) but I since I started riding a bicycle in Bondi I realized I was wrong. No matter how hard I tried, my old bicycle couldn’t get me up Bondi’s hills. But (even to my own surprise) my new bike baby easily gets me up the steepest hills!

Not only is riding an electric bike so much fun (it seriously almost feels like I’m on a scooter), it’s also a very eco friendly way of transport. A full battery only costs $0.15 (AUD) and lasts about 40km.

I genuinely really absolutely truly LOVE this bicycle and I can’t believe how much easier it makes things. Maybe it’s the Dutch blood flowing through my veins, or maybe it’s just that this is a really awesome e-bike. Either way, if you live in Australia and you’ve been thinking about getting an electric bicycle I would really like to suggest hitting up the boys of Vamos Bikes for a test ride. You’ll be surprised!

El Rapido gets me everywhere. Anywhere I feel like going, this bike is at my side. Worrying about hills are a thing of the past.

My Vamos Bike is not only super convenient to use (especially with Sydney’s horrible traffic), I can rely on it to get me up those stupid steep Bondi hills!

Suits Every Rider

For those below 5’3”, we recommend a lower riding alternative seat post at no extra cost. Mention in comments when purchasing.
