The Tribe Original Electric Plus is designed for those that need the most oomph from their electric assist. With a powerful mid drive motor, it provides over twice the power of the standard hub drive motor, and eats up all but the steepest hills. When you get up hills you’ve got to safely get back down, so it's been paired with hydraulic disk brakes, normally reserved for high end mountain bikes, to maximise your stopping power.
Features
- Bafang 250w integrated mid drive motor with 80nm of torque
- 400 Wh battery for a range of up to 110 km (69 mi)
- 8-speed Shimano® Acera gears; plenty of range to get going, get up hills, and get up to cruising speed of 20-25km on the flat.
- Dual front Tekro hydraulic disc brakes for super stopping power.
- 100kg carrying capacity in the front Cargo Box
- Fits riders 155 - 195 cm (5’2” - 6’5”) tall, with adjustable seatpost and handlebars
- Lots of available kid- and cargo-carrying accessories—easily create your perfect setup
- Gas spring steering damper to reduce side to side wobble and make the bike safer at higher speeds
- Intergated park brake allowing you to park your bike and not have it roll away.
Kids ride up front
Chat with your kids, play games, point out interesting things, or simply stop them from fighting. Having the kids up front is a game changer for us.
Explore new areas
The on foot 1km radius from our home has now expanded to an on bike 20km radius. New parks, new beaches, new playgrounds every ride.
Ditch the car
The anxiety of finding a park at the beach in the middle of summer is now gone. Plus we’re no longer dealing with a car full of sand!
No wobbly traffic light takeoffs
3 wheels = slow speed stability! Your feet do not need to come off the pedals when you stop at traffic lights, and take your time to get going, there’s no wobbling going on. It’s a bigger deal than it sounds, trust us!
Pack everything, EVERYTHING!
Diggers, Barbies, buckets and spades, chuck it all in the cart and keep everyone happy, plus grab some groceries on your way home from your adventures.
No more 'negotiations' (bribes)
Say “lets go for a ride kids” and watch your kids eat breakfast, clean their teeth and get dressed in record time. The kids will be in the bike ready to go before you’ve finished packing the snacks.

Sizing
One Size Fits Most
The saddle and handlebars can both be adjusted to different heights. In our experience, riders from 157cm (5’2″) to 195cm (6’5″) can comfortably ride the bike. The bike comes with a quick release seat post clamp, so you can change the height of the saddle in a jiffy!
Need to lower the saddle further?
The minimum height for comfortable and safe riding with the included comfort seat is 5’2″ (157 cm). Shorter riders can still ride the bike by swapping out the included comfort seat for a more traditional bike seat. This will allow the seat post to drop lower (the springs on the comfort seat hit the rear rack when fully lowered) and also reduce the height of the seat itself
