How to Import Electric Bikes from AliBaba into Australia - Here's what we learned (Clone Super73)

[@Joggly420]

Let us know if anyone brings in a few , happy to negotiate any extra cost. Private property use !

[@mitchhifi9192]

Hey mate, I'm selling a 27kw Cyberbike (youtube videos available) it's 11k but a lot of top notch parts and I've gotten 250km riding at 40km/h. Max speed 116km/h within 5.5 seconds. Uses very quality parts like a Nuclear 24f controller and 3.6kw/h 92v battery. All titanium bolts. I'm located in the ACT if you look at the Vector Vortex which my frame is built off you'll notice it has pedals, the motor is also marked 250w so in granny mode (max 25kmh goes to 40kmh with pedal input, this allows you to travel at 40kmh just casually spinning your legs for effect, if stopped by police they'll only be able to accelerate the bike to 25kmh) Multi mode switch is Granny mode, reverse and full ball. This is programmable btw

[@mitchhifi9192]

Should note, in the dip of the seat there's foot pegs, but you move back on the seat to the higher part to reach the pedals. This means when you're riding all out your centre of gravity is perfect. Bike suits a 5ft9 to 6ft3 rider though I can change it

[@mickp10]

Great video. I imported a Titan Unicool T8 (Zero 9) this way. Another recommendation, is only import products you can buy parts for . I am about to import a couple of Kristall E5 ebikes. I find the cost is about half what it is retail in Australia including delivery, but you need to be able to maintain/fix it yourself. If you are importing ebikes, I suggest ordering a second battery with order, as a 10Ah 48v battery is about $120 USD ($180 AUD), where in Australia it is about $500. As mentioned in the video, make sure you read the DIRT legislation and definitions to minimise getting your certificate of compliance declined. Also, some Alibaba sellers can organise the shipping for you, it cost me about $200 AUD for the scooter.

[@paulcoinc]

I had zero problems with my YiDi D70. All of my shipping was included in my purchase. The only problem I had was the absolutely horrible company who brought the bike the last leg of the trip. After a few emails it was taken care..the seller also helped with that. The seller dealt with all paperwork. The seller has also be outstanding in post sales. They have helped even if i have had a tiny problem. I couldn't recommend buying directly from YIDI more. They even sent me a video of my bike during final testing. I know it was my bike because i ordered an extra battery that you can see in the video.

Hi Jeremy. Your style of videos make it so easy for everyone to understand such an easy watch ! I was wondering would you consider doing an updated version on this with the rule changes touching on the specs available still within current legislation without filling for a permit. I know we have more rules over here that the some states in the Usa dont have regarding the power options but im currently starting my search for one of these bikes

[@bbasian]

Can you talk more about which freight forwarder you would recommend for aussies? I want to get an electric bike for my son, but which forwarder should I use if i use FOB like you mentioned. Thank you so much.

Hi Jeremy, really nice video, wish more videos were as good! A couple of questions: - why alibaba rather than Ali express.? - off topic, do you have views on the bikes like vinxs? I’m just looking for cheap and reliable and actually like a single gear (I’m 60+) - Thanks again -

[@evanovski]

They also offer DDP shipping for a single item.

[@JeremyToh]

Thanks for pointing that out. 👍

[@evanovski]

I pulled the trigger!

Congratulations 🥳 What did you spec it with? And how long is the waiting period now?

[@JeremyToh]

Wow! She’s going to be a beauty. We’ll come look you up when we are travelling through SA somewhere next year. If you have your bikes then, you can show us around town. If not you can ride ours. Hope you got a larger battery too.

[@clix2219]

Thank you first time actually a video with information that's clear bless you😃😃

[@aidankim2139]

Its funny people like to call it fake but its just the real manufactures on Alibaba the super brand is just a reseller of Alibaba bike like all ebike on the market

[@bkomoto2031]

Great video thank you. I feel that much more confident to try this myself ;)

[@JeremyToh]

Great you’ve found it useful. Good Luck! 👍

[@pabloandres5689]

Hello! Somebody knows what kind of requierements we need today (december 2023) for import more than 250w eBike? Thank you guys

[@brandonread6956]

Hi Jeremy. awesome video production and very helpful. I have a question. How do i actually apply for the vehicle import permit? i have looked everywhere online and all i can find is guidelines and information but no actual application form. Could you help with a link or a website to get me into the application process please. Thanks, B

[@JeremyToh]

Hello, Brad thanks for tuning in, i did some digging late last year after a viewer mentioned the same thing. It seems in June 2021, they changed the rules, and EBikes and scooter are not longer lumped into the vehicle import permit, like you need for a car or motorcycle. Hence you no longer need it. It really would have saved us a lot of money. Unfortunately our import came in March🤦‍♂️ But please do double check this with your freight forwarder, they usually know what paperwork needs to be filled up. Hope this helps. Good luck.

[@brandonread6956]

@@JeremyToh Ok thanks a lot Jeremy. I appreciate your input. Bless

[@brandonread6956]

@@JeremyToh Hey Jeremy. Ive got another question. Right now the supplier is telling me that the delivery fee which is included in the purchase price is door to door delivery with "not an extra penny to pay" However, we have import tax and GST to pay here in Australia and if the supplier doesn't cover for this then the bike will be held up at customs which as you say in your video, is expensive. Should i tell the supplier they must organise this beforehand with the courier service so they pay for this at customs? Who actually makes the payment for these extra charges is the deliver is door to door? Thanks, Brandon

[@JeremyToh]

One of our helpful viewers here did manage a similar arrangement like what you’ve mentioned. I can’t recall the entire detail of our conversation, but I believe he just paid one lump sum to the supplier, and the supplier handled his shipping including tax and clearance. The supplier of course will just bill this into your lump sum payment, but he didn’t have to deal with any tax or clearance. It was delivered straight to his doorsteps in SA. Hope this offers you some insight.

[@brandonread6956]

@@JeremyToh Thanks yes this gives me the reason the believe that this is a realistic option because a buyer has already experienced this before. Good to hear. I will go ahead with the supplier i am talking with and order the bike i want. Thanks again Jeremy. B

[@fia8079]

Can you get these delivered to USA ?

[@aidankim2139]

also my guy you could have just done direct to door delivery and then its all included in the price

[@sadsausage2224]

Is DDP better than FOB? I just ordered my ebike...

They have EU accreditation and compliance certificate, email them for more information. My house and a few of my friend’s house still hasn’t burnt down if that’s what you’re asking.

[@petervigna3579]

@@JeremyToh cool thanks

[@VicT992]

Is there a specific freight forwarder you would recommend?

[@JeremyToh]

Perhaps do a quick google search, and you should be able to find a few Freight Forwarder in your area. Give them the dimension of the packages, and weight.. Get three quotes and pick the best one. Sorry we couldn't help you, apart from giving you this generic answer, because that ☝️ is something that we should have done before engaging the supplier.

[@VicT992]

@@JeremyToh thanks so much 👍

[@JeremyToh]

Good Luck!

[@henrysutton8148]

when i google a freight forwarder, should they be here in australia or in China?

[@JeremyToh]

Hi there, it really depends. We suggest you call them both, and provide them the dimensions and weight, let them know it’s shipping out from Shanghai port and ask for a quote. One of the viewers have purchased it from Sobowo and got sobowo to handle all the shipping and handling charges, shipped directly to his house in Adelaide. Maybe that option may suit you. Good luck.

Hi I'm going to import a mario ebike from alibaba. Do you have link for the government site. To make it easier.

[@JeremyToh]

The old webpages I bookmarked were no longer available, so I did a bit of digging on the government website. It seems that they have explicitly included the e-Bike as a non-road vehicle now. It was definitely not the case when we were importing the bikes. And if I have read it correctly you don't need a permit anymore, and if you're unsure you can apply for a Advisory Notice. New law is in effect from July 2021. 🙄 Our bikes came in March 2021.😤 The texts are here, if you are still unsure just give them a call. www.infrastructure.gov.au/infrastructure-transport-vehicles/vehicles/importing-vehicle/advisory-notice-narv Good Luck!

[@dallasmlakar]

Thank you for the reply

[@alan_au]

Thanks for this great video! Looking to import this one which looks like a ZX clone. Does this mean we no longer need to apply to get it through custom? Would love to hear your experience Dallas and any tips

[@dallasmlakar]

@@alan_au yes my bike has shown up and wow it is amazing. The laws have changed and I had no problems getting it shipped door to door direct from mario ebikes on alibaba. The total cost including shipping was 3500. It is 1000watt midrive with a 21ah 52volt battery and I can hit 65kmh. The build quality is outstanding I highly recommend.

Has anyone imported an electric car from Alibaba?

[@JeremyToh]

That’s next on our list! Are you interested?

[@CHASA]

@@JeremyToh yes, I’m interested please. I’ve been talking to two suppliers, I trust them a bit compared to other suppliers I’ve talked to on Alibaba. But I’m still hesitant cus I don’t want to get scammed 😭

[@JeremyToh]

Just make sure you order via Trade Assurance so you get some Insurance from Alibaba, the next one is probably to make sure you know the Laws in your country. Every country treats importation of vehicles very differently.

[@CHASA]

@@JeremyToh ​ thank you for responding. I live in the U.S., so before I’m importing. I made sure to call U.S. customs, I asked them a lot of questions. They basically just said that I have to make sure to have a certificate of origin, as well as the forms to present to customs. Then to register the car with DMV. I just hope there aren’t any hidden fees I have to pay to customs. The car I found has trade assurance and the supplier seems reliable. I’ve video chatted with her before and she showed me all the cars they had on video. So hopefully, there’s no scam 💀 I haven’t bought the car yet, still saving up
