When you choose a Lug+Carrie eBike, you’re choosing a safe, reliable ride that’s built to last. For many of us in Australia, the Bosch brand is known for top-quality products like washing machines and cordless power tools. That trust and reputation are exactly why we exclusively partner with them for our eBikes.
Here’s why we only stock eBikes powered by Bosch.
1. They’re legal in Australia
Australia has specific rules for eBikes, the main things to know are simple and easy to remember:
- Maximum Assisted Speed: The motor should only assist you up to 25 km/h. You can always pedal faster, but the motor won’t help once you hit that speed.
- Pedal Assist Only: The motor’s power should only kick in when you’re pedalling. If it has a throttle that can move the bike without you pedalling, you most likely cannot legally use it on public roads or paths. This is why Lug+Carrie Tern and Riese & Muller eBikes are designed strictly with pedal assist, ensuring full compliance.
Our Bosch-powered Tern and Riese & Muller eBikes are fully compliant with these standards. Find out more in our guide to choosing a safe and legal eBike in Australia.
2. They’re long-lasting, safe and reliable
A few years ago, Bosch set out to test a single eBike battery. Their goal was to see how long it would last. After an incredible 1,515 charging cycles—which is roughly the equivalent of riding one and a half times around the world—they stopped. This rigorous testing proves their commitment to longevity. It’s why we’re confident that your eBike is designed to last a long time, helping to reduce e-waste and keeping you on the road for years.
3. They’re smooth, smart, and intuitive
Riding a Bosch-powered eBike feels intuitive, smooth, and powerful when you need it. The mid-drive motor transfers power directly to the pedals, providing a natural feeling that’s crucial when you’re carrying kids or heavy cargo.
The batteries are also incredibly smart. Their built-in battery management system optimises battery health and lifespan, so you can charge your eBike whenever it’s convenient for you, without having to worry about over-charging or damaging the battery.
4. They’re backed by a global network
It’s not enough to just have great products; you need great support. Bosch has a global service network and provides certified training to its dealers, including us. This means that if there’s ever a problem, you can have confidence that it will be diagnosed and fixed efficiently by an expert. This level of responsive support is rare in the eBike world, and it provides invaluable peace of mind.
5. They’re committed to a sustainable future
At Lug+Carrie, we’re firm believers that eBikes are a great way to get around in an environmentally friendly way. We also know that we have a responsibility to our planet. So we’re proud to partner with Bosch, a company that has been a climate-neutral organisation since 2020. Their focus on creating long-lasting products helps control e-waste and aligns perfectly with our mission to build sustainable citie
