Who is the Sobowo Mike Cruiser designed for?

It is designed for adults seeking exceptional range, strong dual-motor assistance and a relaxed riding position for extended touring, recreation, commuting and demanding long-distance journeys.

What motors does the Mike Cruiser use?

It uses front and rear 48V 1000W Bafang motors, providing 2000W of total listed motor output and up to approximately 200 Nm of combined maximum torque.

What batteries are included in the long-range configuration?

The complete listed long-range system combines two 48V 20Ah front batteries with an optional 48V 112Ah rear battery, providing 152Ah of total capacity.

Can it really travel 250–400 km?

This is a published maximum estimate for the high-capacity 152Ah configuration under suitable conditions. Actual range varies substantially with rider and cargo weight, hills, terrain, wind, tyre pressure, temperature, speed and assistance use.

Is the Mike Cruiser suitable for hills?

The dual-motor system is designed to provide strong assistance for hills and demanding routes. Actual climbing performance depends on gradient, surface conditions, total load and battery charge.

Can the Mike Cruiser be pedalled without electric assistance?

Yes. It can be pedalled manually, although its substantial size and weight mean electric assistance will normally be preferred.

Does a tricycle ride like a normal bicycle?

No. A tricycle does not need balancing when stationary, but steering and cornering feel different from a two-wheel bicycle. New riders should practise progressively in a quiet, open area.

How do I confirm the correct rider fit?

Compare all listed dimensions rather than relying on height alone. Call 07 5522 0583 with the rider’s height, inside-leg measurement, flexibility, intended use and typical terrain.

Can Trike Bike Australia support the product after purchase?

Yes. Workshop, spare-parts, battery, telephone and technical support are available through Trike Bike Australia.

For product-selection, rider-fit, assembly or ownership assistance, call 07 5522 0583.
