Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders who want a lighter, narrower three wheeler than the Papa Grande for local errands and confidence at low speed.
Standout strength
At 30kg it is light for a trike, with a torque sensor, 100mm fork, suspension seatpost and parking brake.
The main compromise
A 500W continuous rated motor puts it outside the 250W pedelec rules as we read them.
Consider something else if
You want fat tyres or a bigger battery, where the Papa Grande Pro fits better.
Check before you buy
Order the EN-Compliant version for public paths, and check your state's rules on trikes.

Choose the Amigo Plus if
it costs $500 less; its battery is 320 Wh bigger, so you charge less often on long rides; its hub motor means less drivetrain wear and simpler servicing.
How you would ride it

Common questions
How much does the Vamos Trio cost in Australia?
The Vamos Trio is listed at $5,495 (ride-away). 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 Trio road legal in Australia?
Not as a bicycle. The Vamos Trio 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 Trio?
The Vamos Trio has a claimed range of about 60 km from its 720Wh 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 Trio have?
The Vamos Trio uses a Vamos mid-mounted brushless 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 Trio weigh?
The Vamos Trio weighs about 30 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 Trio 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.
