Are Farfrees e-bikes legal to ride on public roads in Ireland?

Yes — as long as the model meets the Irish/EU technical requirements: a continuous rated motor power ≤ 250W, pedal-assist only (motor cuts off when you stop pedalling), and power assist must taper off before 25 km/h. Bikes or modes exceeding those specs may be classified differently (e.g. as e-mopeds) and require additional licensing or registration.

What range can I expect from Farfrees bikes under normal riding conditions?

Ranges vary by model. Some Farfrees bikes like the FM8 can deliver 100-120 km in assisted mode. Smaller battery/folding models offer shorter ranges (≈ 50-80 km) depending on factors such as terrain, assist level, rider weight, and speed.

How long does it take to charge a Farfrees e-bike battery, and how do I keep it healthy?

Charging times depend on battery capacity: many Farfrees models take 5-8 hours to fully charge. To keep battery life longer, it’s best to avoid full discharges, store it in moderate temperature, and follow “20-80%” charging practices when feasible. Also, don’t leave it plugged in unattended for long periods.

What features do Farfrees e-bikes offer for commuting and rugged terrain?

Farfrees models include features like hydraulic or disc brakes, front suspension forks, fat/robust tyres, strong torque motors, foldable or step-through frames, and adjustable seat heights. These make them suitable both for urban commuting (traffic, potholes) and more rugged or mixed terrains.

What load capacity and rider height ranges are supported by Farfrees bikes?

Many Farfrees bikes are designed for a wide range of users. For example, the FM8 supports riders between about 168-220 cm tall and loads up to ~150 kg. Other models similarly support high load limits, with strong frames and tires built for durability under heavier usage.
