Choosing an electric bike for family riding
Updated 6 Nov 2026
A family bike carries two people, shopping and sometimes a child, on broken roads and main roads. It has to replace your petrol bike, not feel like a toy.
What to check
- Rated load. Two adults plus bags can pass 150 kg. Ask the dealer for the rated load in writing. Yadea publishes 150 kg for the GT30.
- Top speed. For main roads, 50 km/h or more keeps you with traffic.
- Ground clearance. Low scooters scrape on speed breakers with two people on board.
- Range with a passenger. Extra weight cuts range. Plan on about two-thirds of the maker's figure.
Which bikes fit
Ruibin L (60 km/h, lithium), T5L (51 km/h, lithium) and EPOC-H (70 km/h, graphene). Ask about rated load, as Yadea hasn't published it for most models.
Safety
Everyone on the bike wears a helmet, children included.
