Features of the Rapido 2021 – Daily Commuter E-Bike
Samsung Battery
Recharge at any household outlet. 1-YR Warranty.
36v/13ah will last you 65km+ with a 4-5 hour charge time. The Samsung cell battery guarantees longevity backed by a 1-year warranty. Slides in-and-out for ease of charging. Lockable (with a key) to help keep it secure.
100% Australian Road Legal

Learn more about current Australian road rules and legalities surrounding e-Bikes in Australia. No licence or rego is needed. These bikes are rego and licence exempt. Just a helmet and you’re ready to ride.
Light Alloy Step-Through Frame
Less weight extends your battery range
26-inch alloy frame (weighing just 19kg without battery!). Chose from blue, red or black. All come in the step-through design so you can hop on and off with ease.
Mudguards sit above each wheel helping prevent splashback and keeping you dry in the wet.
The frame is thoughtfully designed to include a mountable rear-wheel bracket you can tie down cargo on.
Suits people of all builds and sizes
can suit a rider from 5' ft to 6'6" ft
El Rapido 2021 suits people of all sizes, from 5’ ft to 6’6” ft. Handlebars and seating position are fully adjustable. Setup to your height and riding preference. If you’re on the smaller side (below 5’3” ft) we’d recommend swapping out the suspension seat post for our purpose-designed lower riding alternate that allows the seat to drop more. There’s no additional cost for this, just mention it in the comments when you go to complete your purchase and we’ll include it instead of the standard suspension seat post.
Step-through frame design (the classic European commuter design) makes getting on-and-off this bike effortless and comfortable regardless of your body build, fitness or height. As the name suggests, simply ‘step through’ – no need to swing your leg over like other bike designs. Coming to a complete stop is also made more comfortable. Once stationary you can easily stand up with both feet planted on the ground. No need to orient your weight to one side and rest on one foot at a lean. El Rapido 2021 remains incredibly user-friendly and practical for your daily commute and dashing place to place.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes (Front & Rear)
Better Stopping Power & Less Maintenance
Know you can stop suddenly if required with Tektro HD-E350 hydraulic disc breaks fitted to both the front and rear wheels. With more stopping power than mechanical brakes, less force is required to apply the lever and receive the same stopping power.
However, perhaps the most important advantage of hydraulic brakes comes with maintenance. We’ve designed this e-bike to be as low maintenance for you as possible. Ready to ride at all times. Hydraulic disc brakes will automatically self-adjust as they wear down, unlike mechanical ones that require constant, complicated and fiddly adjustment to keep you riding safer for longer. For a daily commuter e-bike, hydraulic brakes are a huge benefit over mechanical brakes.
Front Suspension Forks
comfier ride over bumps and rough terrain
To keep you riding in comfort for longer and over more diverse terrain El Rapido 2021 comes complete with SR SUNTOUR front forks. Better glide over rough and bumpy surfaces with ease. For a comfier ride, front suspension is a must.
Bafang Rear Hub Motor
Quick and smooth, with predictable, easy-to-control power
Rear hub motor design results in better traction and stronger frame mounting. It also helps you to maintain balance when steering at higher speeds.
Befang has been at the forefront of e-mobility design for almost 20 years. Backed by a 1-year warranty, you know this motor will last.
These motors are small, lightweight and discreet; located within the centre of the rear wheel.
Simply pedalling the bike will activate the motor, spurring you onwards.
Intergrated Lights (Front & Rear)
Ready to ride, day or night
Adjustable front and rear lights are integrated into the Rapido. Come nightfall you’re ready to ride safely at the flick of a switch. Plus additional reflectors for added visibility when lights are shining on you. No need to spend more on extras like after-market lighting (though we’re not against it if you want to keep really safe!).
