Congratulations. You’ve just purchased yourself an amazing new mid-drive e-bike, but now you’re left wondering what all the different levers, cables, buttons and digital readouts mean, and how you should best use them.
Turns out most of us are wearing our helmets wrong and especially our kids — helmet on backwards, wonky positioning on head, straps too loose or the wrong size altogether! Check out this Helmet Fit Guide from Bicycle Victoria for Ride2School Day.
Smartmotion Electric Bikes arrived this week at Cargocycles. We are really impressed by the range and quality. We have the full range of bikes on our shop floor now. This takes our stock of electric bikes available for inspection and test ride to over 50.
RAAFA received their Triobike Taxi trishaw bike on the 13th of February along with two others which arrived in Perth.
If riding your bike more often is one of your new year’s resolutions – you’re not alone. Everyone knows it’s a great way to get back into shape and living in the inner suburbs it’s definitely the best way to beat the traffic. But if you’ve got a baby or a child or two, you may have dismissed the whole idea of cycling or commuting by bike and have left yours rusting away in the shed since giving birth and now consider cycling as just a weekend thing.s,” said Nina. “I can see huge potential for cargo bikes in Melbourne, especially with young families. We use the bike all the time; for shopping trips, going to farmers markets and playgrounds and the beach on weekends. It’s easy to park and as a family, we like the feel-good factor of cycling – feeling healthier and fitter, enjoying the freedom a bike gives us and knowing we’re not polluting the environment.”
To celebrate the opening of the new improved shop (yes, we know it has been operating for a while) we are having a family friendly cargo bike event. Bring the kids and test ride a new bike, meet Ben from Yuba or learn about buying a new Yuba Spicy Curry with a salary sacrifice scheme. The team at E-Stralian are co-hosting this event and would love to chat. The event is FREE – with family fun, food, drinks and awesome smoothies by The Smooth Ride. RSVP to this event at the link below and you’ll receive a free puncture repair kit when you arrive! tinyurl.crtcb.com
Team Strib and Cycling Without Age Featured on ABC TV’s 7:30 Report
Six young Danish blokes on their gap year from uni set out on an epic adventure when they recently rode from Newcastle to Tassie on Triobike Taxis to promote Cycling Without Age (CWA). CWA is a worldwide movement that started in Denmark in 2012 that has brought the joy of cycling to thousands of people of all ages and abilities. The program involves volunteer cyclist ‘pilots’ taking elderly passengers in specially designed rickshaw cargo bikes to local parks, scenic places or just down to the shops.
The guys from the town of Strib in southern Denmark popped into several communities and towns that are already getting about on the Triobike trishaws. They had a great time riding grateful passengers around country towns, met some real characters and immersed themselves in Aussie culture and spread a little bit of Danish ‘Lykke’ on the way (Danish for happiness, not butter) Rough country roads, sunburn and the odd brush with snakes and wildlife were all part of the fun.
Good work guys!
Check out some of their time in Melbourne – as covered by the 7:30 Report.

Bicycle Network wrote this great post about cargo bikes and how they can replace short trips with the kids or for business.
Cargocycles got a mention with some of the bikes we stock.
We have a very small number of Juiced Bikes Cross Current models in stock and ready to go right now. In mid May we will have lots more arriving including the mixte frame in all colours and frame sizes. A very small number of the Hyper Extended Range 21ah capacity batteries will be available too. We will also have the Ocean Current arriving at the same time. Talk to us or come down to our East Brunswick store to test ride.
