Use the continuous rated power, not peak.
Commute savings
Example only: include fuel, parking and wear for your own car.
General information based on Transport for NSW's published rules, not legal advice. The cost per km is an example, so enter your own. Savings ignore e-bike costs such as servicing and charging.
The rules in plain English
- Now: up to 500W continuous; assistance stops at 25 km/h; throttle-only up to 6 km/h.
- From 1 March 2029: max 250W and EN 15194 certified.
- Limits enforced by software don't make an over-powered bike legal.
Next step
Want a bike that's legal now and after 2029? Look for 250W EN 15194 models like Lekker's Amsterdam range.
