FAQ
So... tell me a bit about your bikes…
Big Street Bikes are straight out of the electric bike capital of the world - China. With a 300w brushless motor, they have a top speed of around 35 km/h, take 4 hours to charge and have a 40+ km range. More than enough to get you back and forth from work everyday with room for plenty of adventures along the way.
Ebike subscription! Genius, what’s the deal ?
It's simple - put $250 down and sign up for 12 or 24 months. This covers any maintenance, a bike lock and for a nominal fee we can also wrap the bike with a design or colour of your choosing. You've also got to have a regular driver's license and live in Auckland. After the agreed term - YOU OWN IT!
So this is just for Auckland is it ?
At this stage we are focussed on trying to solve Auckland’s immense traffic problem. But do keep an eye out for Big Street Bikes coming to your city soon.Do you offer commercial packages ?

So I’ve sent you a message, now what ?
Once you’re on the list we’ll let you know when the next shipment will be arriving and when you can pick up your bike.
Who assembles the bikes ?
The bikes are assembled and tuned by one of our mechanics right in heart of sunny Eden Terrace.
Does the battery recharge when i ride downhill ?
Electric bikes that charge as you ride sounds great but it actually makes life a little harder as it creates resistance and reduces the ability to freewheel or hoon down a hill. Our bikes have 40+ km range of ride distance so you've got nothing to worry about.
How long does it take to charge the battery?
It normally takes about 4 hours to charge. The bikes all have a simple release to remove from the bike so you can charge it by your desk during the day. If you're commuting into the city everyday we normally charge about twice a week.
Do you offer test rides ?
Sure do, get in touch today and pop over for a beer and a ride.
Can i buy the bike outright ?
Yes, the bikes are retailing for $2500, or after 24 months at $29 you own it.
