Is it for you?
Best suited to
Short urban hops and car boot storage where a compact fold matters more than range.
Standout strength
Folds in three stages down to 73 by 65 by 33 cm, with seat and fork suspension.
The main compromise
A 350W motor and pure electric mode put it outside Australian pedelec rules, and the 40km range is modest.

Common questions
How much does the DYU A5 cost in Australia?
The DYU A5 is listed at $899 (Sale price at PedL (was $1,499), 7.5Ah battery version. Sold out when checked.). eBikeFinder checks pricing against manufacturer and distributor information, and prices can change with sales and stock. This price was last checked on 9 Oct 2026.
Is the DYU A5 road legal in Australia?
Not as a bicycle. The DYU A5 sits outside the 250W pedal-assist standard (through higher power or a throttle that drives it beyond walking pace), so in Australia it is treated as a motor vehicle. That means it is for private property or off-road use, not public roads or shared paths, unless registered.
What is the range of the DYU A5?
The DYU A5 has a claimed range of about 40 km from its 360Wh battery. Real-world range is usually lower than the claim, since it depends on assist level, rider weight, terrain and wind.
What motor does the DYU A5 have?
The DYU A5 uses a DYU 350W 48V brushless hub motor, in a rear hub position.
How much does the DYU A5 weigh?
The DYU A5 weighs about 22.5 kg. That matters if you need to lift it onto a car rack, carry it up stairs, or store it, since e-bikes are heavier than regular bikes because of the motor and battery.
Who sells and backs the DYU A5 in Australia?
The DYU range is distributed in Australia by PedL (DYU's own Australian store has closed). Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
