The electric family bike that makes riding with kids easy

Is it safe to ride with a child on an e-bike?

As long as you use the right gear and follow basic safety rules, you will stay safe. The designers made the Zoomo Family bicycle to ensure stability.. It has wide tires, strong hydraulic brakes, and a secure child seat.

This keeps your little one safe and comfortable. Electric bikes with baby seats also help you ride smoothly, especially when starting or going uphill. That extra control matters when you’ve got a child on board.

What kind of child seat do you need?

Choose a child seat that’s secure, well-padded, and age-appropriate. For the Zoomo Family, we’ve selected a rear-mounted child seat designed for everyday use. It includes a 5-point harness, adjustable footrests, and a high back for added support.

Rear-mounted seats are great for families. They provide comfort and safety while keeping the family bike steady.

What age can kids ride on the back of an e-bike?

In most parts of Australia, there is no official minimum age for a child to ride on an e-bike. However, safety experts suggest waiting until your child is at least 12 months old. That’s usually when they can sit upright on their own and wear a helmet comfortably.

At Zoomo, we follow this guideline as a safe starting point. If your child can sit up without help and wear a helmet securely, they are likely ready for short rides in a baby seat on your ebike with child seat.

Before heading out, make sure your e-bike setup follows local safety rules. And always double-check your child’s seat and helmet before every ride.

What laws apply in Australia for kids on bikes?

Laws vary by state and territory, but here are some general rules and guidelines you should know:

• All riders and passengers must wear an approved bicycle helmet.
• Parents must securely mount a proper child seat designed for carrying passengers and seat their children in it.
• Someone must build or adapt the bike to carry a passenger safely.
• Local road authorities (e.g. VicRoads in Victoria) may have additional rules about where and how children can be carried.

For additional information, you may refer to official resources such as VicRoads, Bicycle Road Rules or the transport authorities in your region.
