Before you buy
Things to consider when buying an electric bike
Buy local:
- EveryBody eBikes is a specialist ebike retailer and repairer.
- Specialist Kalkhoff retailer with extensive knowledge and a great customer service approach
- Our business is one of the longest operating specialists in Queensland, starting business back in 2006 - we may not be as flash as our competitors but we have a great approach to helping others and wonderful bikes and trikes
- We have a dedicated team of specialists who work exclusively on electric bikes and electric trikes
- Our team has experience designing, importing, selling and maintaining e-bikes
- We specialise in offering common-sense guidance
- We can service bikes sold from our store and often stock parts to improve turnarounds
- We employ qualified, practicing electrical engineer (BElecEng UNSW) as well as specialist ebike mechanics and trike mechanics with unparalleled experience
- We can service & repair all model and brand bikes, at our discretion
- We have a well-stocked workshop to keep your bike on the road longer, even when accidents happen
- We act as the intermediary to warranty claims ourselves if they arise and act as the liaison with the distributor if the bike is not a EveryBody eBikes brand
Avoid costly mistakes:
- ALL OUR ELECTRIC BIKES ARE PRE-ASSEMBLED AND TESTED
- Test ride our bikes to make sure the fit is comfortable for you
- Ask about reliability of the design and components. We source only genuine battery cells and carry replacement batteries and chargers for when they reach end of life
- Technical support and availability of spares for the brands we carry mean you are only a phone call or visit away from help
- We can test batteries before you commit to a second-hand purchase (charged item)
- We can generate a report to help you sell your bike before an upgrade
Consider all your options within reasonable price brackets. Sometimes it is better to buy a lower-spec’d but reliable new bike than risking a second-hand lemon.
Always check your bike meets current legal requirements for:
- Road safety (pedelec bikes specific to your location)
- Electrical safety (mandatory compliance for chargers)
