If you’re reading this, chances are that you’re curious about the latest brand to take over the Australian electric bike scene: DiroDi. 

As a local commuting store based out of Sydney ourselves, we know a thing or two about electric bikes and sustainability, including the good, bad, and differentiating factors across hundreds of brands. 

In this blog post, we’re going to take a look at the DiroDi brand, in particular, and give you our unbiased thoughts on their electric bike selection. 

We’ll cover the product in detail, our favourite electric bike models, and the pros and cons of choosing the DiroDi electric bike for your next purchase. 

Pssst…. and read until the end for our special Father’s Day offer.

Let’s dive in!

The Story Behind The DiroDi Electric Bike

Aussie Owned: A
Sustainability: A

The first thing we love about DiroDi is that it’s an Australian-owned and designed electric bike brand. Engineered and delivered out of Melbourne, Australia, you’ll never have to worry about international shipping fees, customs charges, or overseas support. In fact, any questions you have can be answered within 10 minutes during regular business hours. 

From a sustainability point of view, it really doesn’t get better than this. 

While the fact that you’re considering an electric bike for transportation is a great step in contributing to fewer carbon emissions on the planet, it’s important to pause and consider the environmental impact of getting the electric bike to your doorstep. 

By shopping locally from an Aussie-owned brand, you can feel confident that you’re going the extra bit further to do your part. 

Quality and Pricing of The DiroDi Electric Bike

Value for Money: A
Craftsmanship: A

As written on the DiroDi website itself, the brand stands behind the motto that “affordable doesn’t have to be cheap.” 

In our experience, they’ve done exactly that with the quality of their products. 

It’s rare that we come across a brand that manages to balance the line between pricing and quality, but due to zero overheads and very low markups, DiroDi is a brand that has been able to do just that. 

“As opposed to many affordable bikes on the market, we never sacrifice quality for lower prices. We have minimum overhead costs as we do not have any physical stores, and we operate at very low-profit margins with high turnover.” DiroDi

When up close and personal with the DiroDi electric bike, you can tell right off the bat how well made the materials are. 

Here are just a few of the heavy-duty details they’ve engineered for their latest Rover range: 

• Kenda Fat Tyres for easy ride on-road as well as on sand, grass, or mud
• Large, high-quality saddles
• Front and rear Tektro disk brakes that provide serious stopping power
• Heavy-duty, powerful, high torque motors
• A twist throttle that enables you to ride the bike without pedaling by twisting the throttle
• Removal battery for easier charging

And the best part? 

DiroDi have an impressively strong warranty program that you just don't find with other electric bike brands. 

With every DiroDi purchase, you’ll receive a 2-year warranty on the bike frame and a 1-year warranty on the battery and electric parts. Terms & Conditions apply.

DiroDi pride themselves on high quality materials and a high standard care for their customers. If for any reason you find your DiroDi bike is not working properly, you will receive a repair or replacement within the first two years, no questions asked. 

DiroDi tell us that when you opt for a DiroDi bike, you don’t have to sacrifice quality for money. 

From our experience within the industry, we think they get it right.
