Standout strength
Torque sensing assist, a 14Ah Samsung battery and a suspension fork on a low step-through frame.
The main compromise
Mechanical rather than hydraulic disc brakes, and 25kg is not light.
Consider something else if
You are a taller rider (see the Discovery Alba) or want hydraulic brakes (see the Suburban).

Common questions
How much does the TEBCO Discovery cost in Australia?
The TEBCO Discovery is listed at $2,499 (TEBCO list price, assembled and fitted by a TEBCO dealer). eBikeFinder checks pricing against manufacturer and distributor information, and prices can change with sales and stock. This price was last checked on 16 Oct 2026.
Is the TEBCO Discovery road legal in Australia?
Yes. The TEBCO Discovery 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 TEBCO Discovery?
The TEBCO Discovery has a claimed range of about 80 km from its 504Wh 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 TEBCO Discovery have?
The TEBCO Discovery uses a Aikema 95RX rear hub motor, in a rear hub position.
How much does the TEBCO Discovery weigh?
The TEBCO Discovery weighs about 25 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 TEBCO Discovery in Australia?
The TEBCO range is distributed in Australia by The Electric Bicycle Co Pty Ltd (TEBCO). It comes with a 2 years frame, 12 months electrical and mechanical parts, from date of purchase (per TEBCO FAQ) warranty. Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
