FAQ

Common questions about fit, shipping, and support.

Our kits are built around standard wheel sizes (26", 27.5", 29" MTX) and fit most mountain-bike-style frames. If you're unsure about clearance, disc mounts, or dropout width, send us your bike's make and model through the contact form below before ordering and we'll check compatibility with you.

Most kits install with standard bike tools (Allen keys, a spanner set). No welding or specialist equipment is required, but basic mechanical confidence helps. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, a local bike shop or e-bike mechanic can usually fit it for a small labour fee.

We ship Australia-wide. Please allow around 5–7 weeks for your kit to arrive — this comes down to stock availability and our overseas factory, where parts are sourced and prepared per order rather than kept sitting in a local warehouse. You'll receive tracking details by email once your order ships.

Contact us with photos or video of the issue and we'll sort it out under warranty. You'll cover the cost of shipping the item back to us — from there, you can choose to have a replacement part shipped back to you (we cover that return shipping), or a refund. See our full for what's covered.

We don't accept change-of-mind returns. If an item is faulty, though, we'll always sort out a repair, replacement, or refund — see the question above.

Our higher-power kits exceed the 250W road-legal limit in Australia and are supplied for off-road and private-property use. See our full for details before you ride anywhere public.

Lightning E-Bikes started with a simple idea: riding a bike that can really move is genuinely fun — the kind of fun most of us stopped chasing somewhere between childhood and adulthood. We wanted that feeling back, built properly, for private property and off-road riding on your own land and your own trails.

We're not a faceless factory. We're people who'd rather see more Australians grinning on two wheels on a weekend than sitting on the sidelines because e-bikes got priced out of reach. So we kept it simple: solid kits, honest pricing, shipped Australia-wide.

And we're not stopping at off-road kits. We're working on bringing fully road-legal 250W kits into the lineup, alongside lower-power options like 500W, 750W, and 1000W — so there's a Lightning E-Bikes kit for however you actually want to ride.

Legal Disclaimer & Compliance Notice

1. Important Notice for Lightning E-bikes Customers

Lightning E-bikes provides high-performance electric mobility solutions to the Australian market. However, electric bike (e-bike) laws are highly localized and subject to frequent change. By purchasing from Lightning E-bikes, you acknowledge that it is your sole responsibility to research, understand, and comply with the specific laws of your country, state, or territory.

2. Australian Regulations (Crucial Update)

In Australia, national standards (EN 15194) and state-specific laws strictly regulate e-bike use on public infrastructure.

  • Power & Speed: Most states limit road-legal e-bikes to a 250W continuous motor output with power assistance cutting out at 25 km/h.
  • Pedal Assistance: The bike must be primarily propelled by pedalling. Throttles that operate without pedalling above 6 km/h are often prohibited on public roads.
  • Enforcement: Authorities (particularly in NSW and QLD) have increased enforcement, including on-the-spot power testing and heavy fines for non-compliant vehicles.
  • Lightning E-bikes Recommendation: We strongly advise checking your local Department of Transport or state police guidelines before riding your Lightning E-Bikes product in public spaces.

3. Intended Use of Our Kits

Lightning E-bikes conversion kits exceed the 250W national road-legal power limit for e-bikes in Australia. As sold, our kits are not compliant for use on public roads, footpaths, or shared paths in any Australian state or territory. They are intended for use on private property and off-road terrain only. Do not ride a Lightning E-bikes-converted bicycle on public roads or paths unless you have independently modified it to meet your state's road-legal requirements (250W continuous output, 25 km/h pedal-assist cutoff, and any other applicable standards).

4. Assumption of Risk & Liability

The use of any Lightning E-bikes product involves inherent risks, including the potential for serious injury. By purchasing, you agree that:

  • You are solely responsible for where and how you use the product, and for confirming compliance with your local laws before any public-road or public-path use.
  • Lightning E-bikes is not liable for any legal penalties, fines, or impoundments resulting from use of our products in violation of local laws.
  • You will wear all necessary safety equipment, including a certified helmet.
  • You will not modify the motor or speed controller in a way that violates your local regulations.
