How much does the VelectriX Ascent 24 cost in Australia?
The VelectriX Ascent 24 is listed at $1,899 (ride-away). eBikeFinder checks pricing against manufacturer and distributor information, and prices can change with sales and stock. This price was last checked on 27 Sep 2026.
Is the VelectriX Ascent 24 road legal in Australia?
Yes. The VelectriX Ascent 24 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 VelectriX Ascent 24?
The VelectriX Ascent 24 has a claimed range of 50 to 50 km from its 378Wh battery. Real-world range is usually lower than the claim, since it depends on assist level, rider weight, terrain and wind.

How much does the VelectriX Ascent 24 weigh?
The VelectriX Ascent 24 weighs about 23.5 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.
