The quick read

Is it for you?

Best suited to

Value-focused commuters who want a reliable rear-hub trekking bike with hydraulic brakes and a dual-battery option for range.

Standout strength

A 60Nm rear hub, a 500Wh battery and hydraulic brakes with a dual-battery upgrade path, at the budget end of Earth's range.

The main compromise

A rear-hub drive lacks the low-speed climbing punch of a mid-drive.

Consider something else if

You want mid-drive climbing feel, where Earth's PRIME S line steps up to an 80Nm mid motor.

Check before you buy

Consider the dual-battery upgrade if you ride long distances, and confirm frame size.

Common questions

How much does the Earth REX Trekking cost in Australia?

The Earth REX Trekking is listed at $2,990 (ride-away (incl GST)). eBikeFinder checks pricing against manufacturer and distributor information, and prices can change with sales and stock. This price was last checked on 2026-09-22.

Is the Earth REX Trekking road legal in Australia?

Yes. The Earth REX Trekking is a 250W pedal-assist e-bike that stops assisting at 25 km/h, which meets the road-legal e-bike standard in every Australian state. Compliance is asserted by the brand rather than independently verified, so confirm the current spec with the seller.

What is the range of the Earth REX Trekking?

The Earth REX Trekking has a claimed range of 40 to 70 km from its 500Wh 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 Earth REX Trekking have?

The Earth REX Trekking uses a EARTH 60Nm rear hub motor, in a rear hub position, producing 60Nm of torque.

How much does the Earth REX Trekking weigh?

The Earth REX Trekking weighs about 27 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 Earth REX Trekking in Australia?

The Earth range is distributed in Australia by Earth Electric Bikes. Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
