Is the Reid Quest 2 Mid-Drive road legal in Australia?
Yes. The Reid Quest 2 Mid-Drive 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 Reid Quest 2 Mid-Drive?
The Reid Quest 2 Mid-Drive has a claimed range of about 60 km from its 417Wh 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 Reid Quest 2 Mid-Drive have?
The Reid Quest 2 Mid-Drive uses a Ananda M60 motor, in a mid-drive position, producing 70Nm of torque. Mid-drive motors climb hills better because they work through the bike's gears.
How much does the Reid Quest 2 Mid-Drive weigh?
The Reid Quest 2 Mid-Drive weighs about 24 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 Reid Quest 2 Mid-Drive in Australia?
The Reid range is distributed in Australia by Reid Cycles (Sydney). It comes with a Lifetime frame and forks, 2 years parts, 1 year or 5,000km on the e-bike system warranty. Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
