El Rapido 2024 – Daily Commuter E-Bike5 /5

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.

El Hefe 2024 – Cruiser E-Bike5 /5

Neither myself (58) or my wife (54) have ever been cyclists. Due to some physical limitations on my part (knees and feet) walking more than a few kilometres is not possible without paying for it in pain.We started to look at e-bikes so that when we travelled around we could go further than just my walking distance which had become quite limiting. Those things that are a bit far to walk but not the same when driving or you can't take a car. We finally settled on the El Doblez because it was foldable, had a throttle so you don't have to pedal at all and we could fit two in our Hyundai Tucson.After 4 months of ownership, I couldn't be happier with our purchase. They have exceeded my expectations.We got the 16Ah battery but I was still concerned about range. I didn't need to be. We have done a number of approximately 20km rides on relatively flat ground, pedalling a bit of assistance and used 1 bar of battery out of 6. I recently took it to Bathurst we're my father lives to see if it could do the race circuit around Mt Panorama. 15km round trip, 1 bar used. I did have to help a little on the very steepest sections.Around town, it is handy to have the throttle to make hill starts and accelerate quickly across intersections before the pedal assist kicks in. What's more, I've found I am pedalling much more than I expected so I'm getting healthier.It's easy to fold and put back up. It is a little heavy, 24kg including 3.4kg for the battery which slides out easily for charging or to make it lighter.Full charge time is about 6 hours. The charger gets quite hot 54°C by my themo reader.I wouldn't rely on the headlight much for night riding.Fat tyres are great for running on and off pathways etc without getting caught.The screen is easy to see, has all the information you need and easy to use controls.It is what I call a little twitchy to ride compared to a full-size bike which I put down to the short wheelbase and steering angle. You get used to it though.I contacted Vamos for some advice on rear carriers. They were quick to respond with information even though we bought ours at our local shop in Redcliffe Queensland. I've added one for me. It attaches to threaded tabs on the bike and the seat post with a quick release which pushes the seat a little high for my wife. I'm looking at some others for her.Put simply, we love them, we have a new hobby to do together. We plan to take them away with us anywhere we drive to, we can explore much further with them. We're also planning days to travel along the many "Rail Trails" and cycleways available. I duck down the shop for small items rather than starting the car. If possible we will own an e-bike for as long as we're able to ride them.

Vamos bikes crew are so easy to work with. They are a pleasure to deal very quick to dispatch anything that you need. I bought a Rapido bike and am more than happy with it. The guys are just a pleasure to do business with.

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.

My 2nd Vamos bike purchase!2K on the El Doblez. it’s taken a while because I go 2-3 days on the road bike to work. But seriously proud of the transition to being a 1 car family. I’d encourage everyone who can to give it a go. Even if it’s swapping out 1 day a week first, then 2, then through winter. El Doblez has been a great addition to the family. Super comfortable. Love it!

I previously had a Diablo which is an awesome e-bike. I've now recently brought the new Amigo as a bit of an upgrade and it's even better! Just like my Diablo, this purchase has given me so much joy and comfort. I live in a busy part of town. Parking and traffic can be a nightmare on a sunny day. An E-bike makes my life so much better. I never have to experience the stress of sitting behind a queue of cars that don’t move and looking for parks that don’t exist ever again thanks to having this bike. And after owning a Vamos for a long time now, if I'm ever going to own an electric bike it's going to be a Vamos! Can't fault their durability, performance, and quality. I've never has an issue with my Vamos. The guys at Vamos are super great to deal with and I love supporting a local Aussie company too.Like many people, I get around with plenty of gear. The Amigo allows me to travel with all my clothes, food, bags, and surfboards for a long day at the beach. For me it's way more practical than my Diablo and allows me to do a lot more. The large wheels, strong frame, and inbuilt carry features are perfect for a heavy load and it can handle more off-road riding like on the sand and dirt. I can even swap the rear basket for a rear passenger seat so a friend to sit and ride with me on the back. It's super practical and like it says on the box, it can truly do it all.I love this bike more and more everyday and so will you!Amazing product 10/10

For my first e-bike, I wanted something versatile. Something that could handle road or dirt tracks, solo cruising with option to take an extra person or groceries. Fat tyres were a must. I was after something that came with excellent aftercare service (actual humans you can talk to in case any help needed). So happy to discover the Amigo at Vamos Bikes, which ticks all these boxes!Thank you Conrad, Michael and the rest of the team at Vamos for making more “micro adventures” possible with this very well designed bike!

11/10. Recently got the El Rapido and has made life so much easier! Trips down to the beach, to work or to the shops, all the while avoiding any traffic. The team were also incredibly helpful in answering all my questions making me really confident in ensuring the bike was right for me

Well made. On grass or dirt. El Hefe always pulls through. The future is Vamos Bikes.

Jordon ThomasVerified Owner

Best part of working from home is heading down to the beach for a cheeky lunch time swim on our Vamos e-bike. Great value, and zips along like nothing else.Countdown is on till we can get this ritual going again.

I love my Papa Grande e-trike! Everywhere I ride I get comments about how awesome it looks.

Vivienne Van DisselVerified Owner

Purchased the Rapido 2021 a few weeks ago and am very impressed with the quality of the bike, as well as the ease and comfort of the ride. Perfect for navigating the hills of Paddington on the way to work, the Rapido is the perfect daily commuter. A full battery easily gets me 2 return trips to the city (from Woollahra) without charging. Highly recommend this bike for anyone looking to get around the inner city with ease.

Matthew McAloonVerified Owner

The ride is really good on this one.

JamesVerified Owner

The Amigo is GREAT! I love my bike. Thanks guys!

Jasper D.Verified Owner

I am glad that I waited for the Papa Grande 2024, it's Pedal Assist is just ingenious! an joy to ride the basket in the back is a solid build the Limited Slip Differential makes cornering more predictable. The Pedal Assist is not so instant as it senses your pressure on the pedal rather than full power. 🥰

PeterVerified Owner

I love the bike & think it's good value for money

PaulVerified Owner

When riding on main roads, bike paths or off road, the El Hefe is comfortable, powerful and turns heads. I love it. Highly recommend.

Purchased the El Hefe cruiser.. really enjoying it and it’s as advertised online… the staff at Vamos were readily contactable by phone (which was answered by a person) and quickly sorted out some very minor issues I had with the LCD settings. Would recommend the bike and the company to do business with… Written by happy customer..

No more, thanks. -Admiring dogs from a new perspective. -Plus more!Cheers fellas for the great work you’ve done in promoting a fantastic way to travel.

It’s a game changer

DanielVerified Owner

I’ve just received my new El Hefe. What a bike! I live in a hilly area & the bike flys up the hills with no problem. It’s comfortable, looks good & comes complete. Nothing else to buy. If you don’t have one, get one now![UPDATE] It’s been a year since I posted , so, I thought I’d update. I’m still loving my El hefe. Being over 60 & partially disabled, exercise can be problematic. With El Hefe, no problems. Comfortable seat, good gear range & good battery life. The customer service from the Vamos team has been exemplary. I’ve customised my bike, with a springer front forks & leather saddle bags, to give that vintage look.I love my bike. I can’t recommend Vamos Bikes enough !
