Just bought the El Diablo from Perth WA after a lot of online and in-person research at E Bike stores here in WA. It was cheaper but I must say in no way less quality than bikes that cost $1K more. What a quality bike. Easy to final assemble and so much fun to ride. The guys have been great with questions too. Very happy with my purchase. Only problem now is I don’t want to get off the bike and use the car at all. If my wife gets one, we will buy a Vamos bike again. Thanks Conrad and Mike.

Absolutely love my new Vamos El Hefe Bike. Firstly, I wanted to back a local company, price was really good, reviews were good, gear (Shimano / Samsung) spot on. Really hard to fault. Customer service was brilliant, as was delivery (despite a slight delay which is down to customs and overall e-commerce being overwhelmed for all companies). Final comments - fairly basic to assemble, rides really well on the beach, road, tracks. Lights all easy to use. Super comfy. Thrilled with this thing. 👌🚴 🏄‍♂️ 🏝

I would just like to reiterate my sincere gratitude to Vamos for your extraordinary after sales care and an amazing product.Your exemplary after sales service has further boosted my confidence regarding my long term ownership of this magnificent machine.I look forward to many more enormously enjoyable kilometres to come.I live in a retirement village quite close to the waterfront and with convenient access to an extensive network of bikeways. I had already 'till now been extolling the many benefits of this type of conveyance in general and specifically the Papa Grande (particularly so for members of our age cohort👍) to it's innumerable admirers and interested enquirers.Following my exceedingly pleasant interaction with Vamos, these recent weeks, I'm now delighted to also reassure them that they can be completely confident that your ongoing back up support is truly second to none.Again, many thanksYou guys are champions.And I, a very happy Papa Grande owner.

Great Bike. I use it as transport to and from work and getting around the city. Saves time and money. With all the bike lanes available it is a no-brainer to get one. The electric component gets you up the hills with no problems. Thoroughly recommend the Vamos Bike. Do not regret this purchase at all. Now my husband wants to get one as well.

I ordered a Vamos Rapido 2021. It was delivered within a week and to say I was impressed with the bike is an understatement. Best packaging I have ever seen and an absolutely fantastic bike. Great customer service. Well done. From unboxing the Rapido I was very impressed on the level of care taken for the customer to receive the bike in excellent condition. I love the riding position and suspension on this bike. The performance is above my expectations. I’m a big believer in you get what you pay for but in this case I believe I got more.

We purchased 2 bikes and have clocked up over 100km around the city in just over a month. Easy to ride and great power for the steep inclines. We purchased them for a campervan because of the foldable design and all terrain capabilities but the fun around the city is amazing. Throughly recommended and very to ride. Some many people stop us to ask where we purchased them because they are so impressed.

I purchased this bike about a year ago, I’m so happy with it and she’s still going strong. The bike feels like a really solid machine, well made and especially safe. The specs were good for the price and the staff were some of the nicest people I have ever dealt with. They were really helpful through the whole process and continue to field my questions.

From the monent I saw the El Hefe, I knew this was the bike for me. Being a fairly big guy, I thought that its larger size would make me feel more at home and I wasn't wrong! I use this bike a lot now and I'm amazed at how far I can travel using assistance from the motor. The styling is very cool as is the practicality. It is quite heavy but considering the amount of equipment and size of the bike, this is to be expected. I just love it!

I've had my El Hefe for a week now and fair to say I'm in love! An absolute beast that's super fun to ride, fast and smooth. Perfect for the commute to work - no more boring train rides for me!

Luke DavisVerified Owner

Such a great bike, my commute to work has changed so much since buying a Vamos bike. What a better way to cross the harbour bridge than on a Vamos bike, if you can't beat them join them! Conrad and Michael made the purchase a dream. Get on the trend and buy a Vamos Bike people!!

Faf WilkinsonVerified Owner

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.

11 out of 10 bikes!! Michael and Conrad were so helpful with what bike to choose. Love my Rapido! First and last electric bike .

Purchased my Diablo a year ago due to loss of license. I cant express how amazing this bike has been. I have used it daily to get to and from work for the 4 months whilst without a license. The boys have been amazing in providing support with ordering new brakes at an economical rate.Just want to say HUGE thank you!!!! Such a great bike for the Eastern Suburbs, best way to get around !!!!

Vlad BelovukovicVerified Owner

I’ve had the MonoRail for about a year now. I typically use it with mountain bikes. Really quick and easy to secure the bikes to the rack. Bikes are held on securely even when off road. The whole unit tilts down even with the bikes on so I can access the rear of the car. I like that if I don’t have the bikes on it can fold up against the boot too.

MarkVerified Owner

From the moment we rang up to enquire about one of these bikes until the time we received it, we had the best service including after hours contact, free shipping, step by step assembly instructions. No question was left unanswered by Michael and the Vamos team. The bike itself is next level. Do yourself a favour and look into one of these beauties if you are considering an e-bike. Thanks Vamos.

Chris ZehntnerVerified Owner

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.

Awesome bike and great quality

JohnnyVerified Owner

I got the El Diablo e-bike, high quality, easy to switch between speeds, dashboard so simple to read, easy port for charging, and I can carry it up my single flight of stairs with the light weight. I'm loving it!

Shay BrownVerified Owner

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 :D

Lotti WilkinsonVerified Owner

It's fantastic!

DeanVerified Owner

This bike rack was exactly what I needed and it works brilliantly on my Prado and Sprinter van. Easy to fit, operate and swingaway to access the rear doors easily. We carry two 20+kg e-bikes and it handles it just fine. Well built, designed and robust, with a nice locking feature.

I've had this bike for a couple of months now and from the ordering experience to the fast delivery and the quality of the bike this has been a fantastic online purchasing experience.The performance of the bike is just awesome and I’m loving being able to ride to my local break for a wave without the hassle of having to find a car park. Buying this bike has taken a lot of stress out of my life!

Glenn WalkerVerified Owner

You will not regret getting this Papa Grande - it has been my best investment in a long time!!

IanVerified Owner

Genuinely could not be happier with my new bike. Cut my daily commute from Maroubra to Mascot via bus from an hour to 20 minutes! Had it for a little over a month now and no problems whatsoever. Service was great too. Michael walked me through all the features and dropped the bike off on the day of purchase.

Pat BellantoVerified Owner

I bought the Papagrande 2024 model trike late last year and I’m so impressed with its stability and power. My knees aren’t what they used to be and the peddle assist allows me to get out with my dog Billie. He loves going for a ride!
