Common questions
How much does the Vamos El Doblez cost in Australia?
The Vamos El Doblez is listed at $3,295 (ride-away, 52V 15Ah base; larger batteries cost more). 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 Vamos El Doblez road legal in Australia?
Not as a bicycle. The Vamos El Doblez 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 Vamos El Doblez?
The Vamos El Doblez has a claimed range of about 75 km from its 780Wh 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 Vamos El Doblez have?
The Vamos El Doblez uses a Vamos brushless rear hub motor, in a rear hub position.
How much does the Vamos El Doblez weigh?
The Vamos El Doblez weighs about 28.5 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 Vamos El Doblez in Australia?
The Vamos range is distributed in Australia by Vamos Bikes (Marrickville, Sydney). Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
