When it comes to buying an ebike, the Gold Coast really is spoilt for choice! From retro cruiser electric bikes to ecargo bikes; delivery ebikes to folding ebikes; beach ebikes to through to eMTBs, commuter ebikes and electric surf bikes, the Gold Coast has it all.
Being an outdoor lifestyle focused region, it’s really no surprise that the Gold Coast electric bike scene has seen the rise of some of Australia’s most popular ebike brands. Buying directly from the showroom is highly recommended, as you’ll be treated to an unrivalled depth of knowledge in the range itself. Gold Coast ebike brands include the official Ampd Bros Gold Coast HQ, with a showroom and service centre in Burleigh Heads, and the Oceanside Bikes brand which is also founded and headquartered in Burleigh. Fatfish has recently entered the Gold Coast ebike market, this fast emerging brand originating in Southport, as has new-comer Ventura Electric also offers test rides from their Palm Beach offices. Whilst technically not a brand founded in Australia, ex-pro surfer Josh Kerr has set up the Aussie headquarters of coastal lifestyle focused Murf Electric Bikes on the Gold Coast, with Murf quickly becoming a brand adopted by many locals.
As you’d expect, there a several major ebike stores on the Gold Coast who specialise in electric bikes including many of these brands and more in one convenient location. One fine example is the Crooze Gold Coast store located in Bundall on the northern end of the Coast, one of the most recognised ebike stores in the region. The showroom offers a comprehensive range of electric bikes to Gold Coast customers, includes including cruisers, mountain bikes and even electric cargo bikes, plus Scooters and eSkateboards. Ride Electric is another ebike specialty store on the Gold Coast, with physical locations in Southport and Varsity Lakes. Ride ‘n’ Roll is a Gold Coast store that may be more conveniently located for the coastal community, situated on the Gold Coast Highway at Mermaid Beach. Last but not least, there are also several 99 Bikes stores on the Gold Coast.
When it comes to finding stockists of Australia’s most popular ebike brands on the Gold Coast, you can either head into one of the physical stores mentioned above or you can order online direct from the manufacturer. For example, the Dirodi Rover is proving extremely popular at the moment, with most Dirodi Gold Coast buyers opting to buy this model directly from Dirodi’s online store. In contrast, the preferred method of purchase for the increasingly popular Fatfish Fat Tyre ebike is in the Ride Electric Southport store, given it shares the same location as Fatfish Gold Coast headquarters. Border Bikes in Tweed Heads is one of the most popular stockists for Fatboy Gold Coast customers (otherwise they’re online store is good too), and if you’re in the market to buy a Super73 on the Gold Coast then once again Ride Electric is one of the most accessible local stockists.
So there you have it – the Gold Coast really is a haven for ebike enthusiasts, with a wide range of local, national and international brands to choose from and endless adventures to be had along the coastal and mountain trails.
