FAQ
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.
What riders are saying
"I'm very happy with my purchase from Lightning E-Bikes. I ordered a conversion kit, and everything arrived as expected and in good condition. The quality of the components feels solid, and the kit included everything I needed for my project.

I'd definitely recommend Lightning E-Bikes to anyone looking for a high-quality conversion kit."
"Kit came in good condition, packed nicely. Put it on my Big Merida — it's a beast, top speed 80km/h with me and my mate on it. Way too much torque, I love this kit."
"To be honest, I cannot say one bad thing about this conversion kit — everything is just very good quality."
"It was an effort to assemble but with good mates' help it all worked out in the end, and it's better than I imagined. Going to have a lot of fun with this bike."
"Amazing customer service. Delivery took a bit long but the product itself is very good — also very good for the price."
