Explore the differences between hub drive and mid drive ebike motors. Hub drive motors are located in either the front or rear wheel hub, controlled by pedal assist sensors or torque sensors. Mid drive motors are built into the frame between the pedal cranks, responding to pedal force, speed, and cadence. Mid drives are typically more expensive but offer a more natural ride feel, while hub drives are simpler and more affordable. Visit our shop to test ride both and find the right fit for your riding style!

He grew up in rural Victoria and played AFL competitively even having a run with St Kilda until demands on the farm meant he had to stay home. He was able to shear 100 sheep by the time he...

Assessing the commute We wanted to know whether travelling from inner Brisbane to the store in Brendale was a feasible commute. Our exploring took 50 mins door-to-door and included travel on the road, sharing the road and a few sections on a dedicated bike track. I know type one I prefer, but sometimes those cycleways don’t go straight to your destination. Experienced by first blast from an angry motorist and note to self to report and to buy a helmet cam. Intolerance on a Sunday morning. Maybe he was an England supporter after Rugby World Cup final result? I think...
