Is it for you?
Best suited to
Larger riders who like the Discovery formula but want a slightly bigger step-through frame.
Standout strength
A bigger step-through frame with torque sensing assist and a 14Ah Samsung battery at the same $2,499 as the Discovery.
The main compromise
Mechanical disc brakes, and it was out of stock online when we checked.
Consider something else if
You want hydraulic brakes or a belt drive (see the Suburban).
Check before you buy
TEBCO's page conflicts on wheel size (28-inch in the features, 650B in the spec table). Confirm with your dealer.

Is the TEBCO Discovery Alba road legal in Australia?

What is the range of the TEBCO Discovery Alba?
The TEBCO Discovery Alba 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 Alba have?
The TEBCO Discovery Alba uses a 36V rear hub motor, in a rear hub position.
How much does the TEBCO Discovery Alba weigh?
The TEBCO Discovery Alba 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 Alba 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.
