Are you exploring the transition to electric vehicles? Is it a good time to move to electric now? What are the costs and how do you prepare your home for an EV? What range of EVs are already available in Australia or are expected later this year? What is it like to use an EV in the regions? Love your classic car and thinking about converting it? Thinking about a classic electric Land Rover?
Thinking about replacing the need for a second car with an E-bike? Looking at converting your classic bike to electric? Or simply want to get about town without having to walk up the hills? Come to the Woodend E-Bike Expo and see the range of E-bikes available for you and your family. Try them out and ask questions from locals on how they live with E-bikes in the Macedon Ranges
