Capable Ebike with great features, quality components and good after sales service.
After researching late model Ebikes, settled on the Powerider Thunder. The combination of impressive riding range, quality components and top rate after sales service made my choice easy. Thanks Jimmy for your after sales service and advice.

Great electric bike suit rail trails and road
I am 65 with bad knees looking for a way to exercise my knees without sweating too much in North Queensland. I enjoy getting out and do more riding now. We do local rides and rail trails for which it is great. Not a full on mountain bike it is hard tail and gearing is a bit tall for crazy trail climbs. Great all round mid drive bike at a good price.
Purchased in June 2021 for $2,300.00.

Thunder 29er
I bought a Thunder 29er E Bike off Justride in 2017" to help my wife to still ride cycles as she had a leg injurery and couldn't keep up with me on my bike . The Powerider has performed faultlessly in nearly 2 years having done four thousand kilometers she love it and I can't catch her bugger. It's been great to have the Thunder 29er as part of our bike collection . Thankyou Jimmy and Justride for suppling an affordable EBike .
Purchased in November 2021.

Great Bikes Enabled to Keep Cycling
Purchase Power Thunder 9 months ago and very happy with it has a few features that more expensive e bikes do not have.
I had 2 NZ friends over we are all approaching 80 and hired 2 power thunders for a week at a most reasonable price all bikes performed excellently on the East Gippsland Rail Trail and Great Southern Trail.
Jimmy was very helpful and professional with the pick up and return
Thanks Jimmy

Great bike, great price!
After much research purchased the 29er Thunder back in March 2018 and have since ridden over 1500Kms. Central crank definitely the way to go and bike has performed well with very long lasting battery. If you use combination of low or no peddle assist, power throttle and gears have managed well over a 120klm on a single charge and getting a great workout. Jimmy at Justride great to deal with!

Great Bike.
Once the bike arrived it didn't take long to assemble. If the battery had been fully charged I could have been on the road within the hour. The handbook was informative but I found the 10 min video much more helpful in the assembly and with the operation of the computer. I ride about 10 to 15 Klm each day. The bike handles well and the disc brakes are very affective even stopping quickly from 35 /40 kph. I am very pleased with my purchase. Highly recommended.

High performance at a budget price
I have looked around everywhere for a good electric bike to get me from a to b but I was shocked at how much a basic electric bike costs these days. I stumbled upon the Thunder and I knew I had to have one. The purchased one a few weeks ago and I was surprised at what features the bike had - similar bikes would have cost over $5000.00 at other stores. Ordering from the store was a breeze and it only took 4 business days to arrive at my door. Assembly was relatively easy and the bikes computer is fairly straight forward to setup to your own ...Read more
preferences. The guys at Justride are very helpful and if you have any problems they will sort them out for you. When my bike arrived it had a bent front disc, one phone call and a new replacement was on its way - thanks again guys. Performance wise the bike performed as I had hoped it would, 25km/hr into a strong head wind and It was effortless - amazing. If anyone out there is looking for a good all round electric bicycle that has too many features to list and performs better than most then you can't go past the Powerider Thunder 2017.1 comment

Value for money with great warranty on the Electrics.
I am 81 and have ridden the Thunder hard,1000 Ks in 9 weeks on sealed roads with gradients up to 18%, battery lasting 70 Ks, less aggressive riding should go 100 Ks. The hand throttle allows you to match speeds with group riding. Trails rides with to 40 KPH setting are possible. You can set the bike so you ride with little effort or get a good workout using the various levels of Power and Assistance.

em costing twice the price with limited warranty, which was not comparing Apples To Apples. I am an experienced rider and I ride the Powerider to its limit, it is not for commuting, I ride with younger top riders and I keep up and pass them on the hills. November 6th 2017 Update: keeps on preforming Further to my earlier review August 8 I am still of the same opinion and now after 5 months and completing over 2000 kilometres the Powerider Thunder 29er is still preforming well. Riding at level 3 Assistance only, I completed 123 Kilometers with 20% of battery life remaining. Good Value.1 comment

Perfect bike
I've purchased 3 electric bikes over the past 12 months all from justride. The powerrider thunder is a great bike. Battery lasts longer than my other 2 electric bikes, and the bike itself feels well built. I would recommend this bike to anyone considering an electric bike. I completed a lot of research prior to buying and found this bike to the best value for money.

A very capable machine so far with 370km cycled. Good for my partner to keep up with me on the roadi
I bought this bike with 2 purposes in mind. Cycling with my partner, and commuting to work. I'm a keen cyclist and it has always been difficult for me and my partner to cycle together due to our different paces. Now she can keep up and even leave me behind on the hills... its great! With a 30km commute to work I'm also using this bike to commute on the days that I'm tired or its windy. The only problem experienced so far was a loud and worrying clicking sound. Jimmy advised that this was the pedals loose on the crank and that threadlock could b...Read more
e applied if necessary. I tightened the pedals and all is OK. I haven't had to apply the threadlock but will if they loosen off again. All in all I'm very happy with the bike and the experience of dealing with Jimmy. I'm interested to see how the bike holds up after a few thousand kilometres (my roadie has done 10,000km and is going strong) but everything feels good and robust so I'm feeling hopeful in that regard. The 80km range is achievable if you're not belting along at top speed.1 comment

A great bike
Great bike, every thing feels top quality, done a few 2-3 hour rides, never had a problem with the battery. I have a camper van and what used to be a problem of packing up to go into town, beach or just to buy milk isn't a problem anymore, a 2, 5, 10km ride is as easy as I want to to be, and won't take long, Very satisfied

A great bike, very happy with it.
I've had my bike for 3 weeks now and couldn't be happier. A couple days ago I rode into the city from Beaumaris, a round trip of 75 kms, a heavy head wind coming home along Beach Road for the last 20 kms, it was so good to be able to use power 3 and pedal on with little effort as I was tiring. After the 75 kms I still had over half the battery remaining. The buying process was good and easy, from every aspect I am really happy with the bike.

I have achieved a top speed of 45.3 kms per hour with throttle fully on. Even at this speed the brakes are very effective.
Jimmy Q.Powerider
Hi, it will easily pass 40 km/h mark if you unlock the speed limit when you go off road, we highly recommend you keep 25km/h when you ride on road. Regards
