Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders who want three wheel stability and a big rear cargo box for shopping, pets or mobility, mainly on private property and quiet paths.
Standout strength
Three fat tyres, a 50kg rear cargo box, parking brake and up to 1300Wh of battery.
The main compromise
A 500W continuous rated motor puts it outside the 250W pedelec rules as we read them, and it is large to store.
Consider something else if
You need a clearly road-legal 250W rated machine, or storage space is tight.
Check before you buy
Order the EN-Compliant version for public paths, and check your state's rules on trikes and power ratings.

Common questions
How much does the Vamos Papa Grande Pro cost in Australia?
The Vamos Papa Grande Pro is listed at $6,395 (ride-away with the 52V 20Ah battery; $6,895 with the 52V 25Ah battery). 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 Papa Grande Pro road legal in Australia?
Not as a bicycle. The Vamos Papa Grande Pro 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 Papa Grande Pro?
The Vamos Papa Grande Pro has a claimed range of about 70 km from its 1040Wh battery. Real-world range is usually lower than the claim, since it depends on assist level, rider weight, terrain and wind. With the optional larger battery setup the brand claims up to 100 km.
What motor does the Vamos Papa Grande Pro have?
The Vamos Papa Grande Pro uses a Vamos mid-mounted motor with torque sensor motor, in a mid-drive position. Mid-drive motors climb hills better because they work through the bike's gears.
How much does the Vamos Papa Grande Pro weigh?
The Vamos Papa Grande Pro weighs about 35 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 Papa Grande Pro 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.
