HOW DO ELECTRIC BIKES WORK?

E-bikes run on an electric motor that draws power from the lithium ion battery pack. Most electric bikes can be propelled forward by manually pedalling, using the throttle in addition to pedalling, or using just the throttle. Each Sunshine Culture Electric Bike has all three modes built in.

ARE ELECTRIC BIKES SAFE TO OPERATE?

At their core, electric bikes operate like regular bicycles, and can reach similar speeds. Just like a non-electric bicycle, there are brakes that allow you to slow down and stop. Please follow all normal safety precautions that would follow with a normal bicycle. Always adhere to the rules of the road.

DO I NEED A LICENSE OR INSURANCE?

A license and insurance is not needed in Australia. “Electric Bicycle  Laws” is a solid source (https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/rules/wheeled-devices/electric-bicycle-rules) , but always check your local/state laws for the most up to date information.

DO I NEED A HELMET?

All bikes must be driven with any safety devices such as helmets.

HOW LONG UNTIL A BATTERY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED?

With proper care, the batteries can last approximately 700-1000 full cycles. As with other lithium-ion batteries (your phone or laptop computer), they hold less charge over time.

As an example, if you rode your Sunshine Culture an average of three times a week you can expect to get roughly 5 years out of it.
