Frequently asked questions

How do electric bikes work?

E-bikes run on an electric motor that draws power from the lithium battery pack. Most electric bikes can be propelled forward by manually pedalling, using the throttle in addition to pedalling, or using just the throttle. Each Murf Electric Bike has all three modes built in.

Am I able to test ride a Murf?

Sure! Cruise by our shop at 44-46 Ourimbah Rd, Tweed Heads NSW 2485 if you would like to test one out. No need to book just come and say hey.

How long does a bike take to charge?

5-6 hours from empty.

How long until I need to buy a new battery?

With proper care, the batteries can last approximately 700-1000 full cycles. As with other lithium-ion batteries (your phone or laptop computer), they hold less charge over time. Just think of the electric bike battery like a car battery. Different chemistry same concept. As an example, if you rode your Murf an average of three times a week you can expect to get roughly 5 years out of it.

Can I charge the battery from a normal outlet?

Yep, the included charger plugs into any normal wall outlet.

Does Murf Electric Bikes come with a warranty?

We are proud to offer the original owner a 2 year / 1,000km limited warranty with each Murf e-bike. This covers both the bike and battery from any manufacturing defects. We are always happy to answer any questions and work with you to resolve any issues that pop up.

Do I need a licence or insurance when riding a e-bike?

A license and insurance are not needed in Australia for E-bikes. The Wikipedia article "Electric Bikes Laws" is a solid source, but always check your local/state laws for the most up-to-date information.

What electric bike has the longest range?

The range of an electric bike depends on several factors like riding style, terrain, and how much pedal-assist you use. In general, bikes with more powerful motors, like our models with 750W motors, provide not only the most power but also extended range, especially on flatter terrains or with moderate peddling.

For the longest range, you'll want to combine a high-capacity battery with efficient riding habits. If you're looking for a bike that can get you the furthest, our 750W models are your best bet
