Shop Affordable Bikes

Factory Buys stocks a practical range of cheap bikes and cheap ebikes to suit commuters, leisure riders, kids, and active households. The collection covers folding electric bikes, full-size electric mountain bikes, kids balance bikes, floor storage stands, and car-mounted bike carriers. Folding e-bikes are compact enough for public transport or apartment storage, while full-size models handle longer rides and varied terrain with ease. Kids balance bikes are designed without pedals to help young children build confidence at their own pace. If outdoor riding is not always practical, exercise bikes offer a solid indoor alternative, or browse electric scooters for car-free city travel. Rated 4.6 out of 5 from over 3,000 Trustpilot reviews, Factory Buys is trusted across Australia for quality and fast delivery.

Electric bikes: folding and full-size options

The e-bike range at Factory Buys covers two distinct form factors. Folding models use smaller wheel sizes and a collapsible frame, making them compact enough to carry into an office, fit in a car boot, or store in tight spaces. Full-size electric bikes use larger wheels and a rigid frame for better performance on longer rides, hills, and mixed surfaces.

Both types use rechargeable batteries and motor-assisted riding. Battery capacity, motor wattage, and maximum range per charge vary across listings, so it is worth comparing these specs directly on each product page before purchasing. Tyre size, frame material, and braking system also differ between models and affect how the bike handles in different conditions. The Mele brand urban e-bikes in the range are built specifically for city riding, prioritising ease of use and practicality over off-road performance.

Kids balance bikes

Balance bikes in this range are designed for toddlers and young children learning to ride. Without pedals, kids propel themselves with their feet and focus on steering and balance, which builds the core skills needed before moving to a standard bike. Multiple colour options are available, and each listing includes a stated age and weight suitability guide to confirm the right fit.

These bikes are lightweight and built low to the ground for safety, making them easy for small children to manage independently. Families putting together a broader kids activity setup may also want to explore the health and fitness range for outdoor and active play equipment suited to different ages.

Bike storage and car carriers

Alongside the riding range, Factory Buys stocks floor stands and vehicle-mounted carriers for households that need to store or transport multiple bikes. Floor stands are available in two, three, four, and six-bike capacities, with portable and foldable designs suited to garages, apartments, and outdoor areas. These keep bikes upright and organised without requiring wall mounting.

Car carriers in the range are towbar and hitch-mounted, with two and four-bike foldable options available. They attach to the rear of a vehicle and fold down compactly when not in use. Check the stated weight capacity and bike count on each listing to confirm it suits your vehicle and the number of bikes you need to carry. For riders who also train indoors, pairing a bike with a treadmill or walking pad keeps your routine going regardless of the weather.

Bikes as part of an active lifestyle

Cheap ebikes provide a genuine fitness benefit alongside everyday commuting practicality. Pedal-assist systems keep you physically engaged on the ride, making them a useful complement to a broader training routine. Riders who want to track progress or add variety can explore the cardio equipment range for machines suited to endurance and aerobic training at home.

Shoppers building a more complete setup can browse gym equipment for strength and conditioning options across all fitness levels. The broader fitness collection at Factory Buys covers everything from entry-level accessories through to more advanced training equipment, making it straightforward to build a home setup that works alongside regular riding.

How do I choose the right bike for my riding style?

Start with where you will ride most, such as paths, streets, or mixed surfaces, then match the bike style and riding position to that use. Check gearing, brake type, and sizing guidance on the product page so it fits comfortably. If you are choosing an indoor option instead, browse our exercise bikes for a training-focused setup.

What should I compare first: frame, brakes, and weight limit?

Frame design and sizing are the first checks, because they affect comfort and control. Next, compare braking type and performance notes on the listing, especially if you will ride in wet conditions or hilly areas. Finally, confirm the maximum rider weight limit and any load guidance so it suits your needs and stays within the stated specs.

What size bike suits my height and leg reach?

Use the size guidance on the product listing as your starting point, then check key measurements like frame size, standover height, and the suggested rider height range. If you are between sizes, think about whether you prefer a slightly more upright, relaxed fit or a longer reach. If sizing details are limited, measure your inseam and compare it to the listing measurements.

Does the bike arrive partly assembled, and what setup is required?

Many bikes arrive partly assembled for easier shipping. Setup often involves fitting the handlebars, front wheel, pedals, and seat, then checking brakes and tyre pressure before the first ride. All items include instructions and tools, and most customers find assembly straightforward. If you would rather have it built or safety checked, Airtasker can be a useful option.

What are the delivery timeframes, warranty, and returns if damaged?

All orders are dispatched from our warehouse within 1 to 2 business days. Delivery typically takes 1 to 12 business days, depending on your location and the courier. All products include a 12 month warranty, and our Customer Support team is available 8 am to 8 pm, 7 days per week.
