About the DiroDi Rover PRO 500W

After two years of meticulous design and engineering, the DiroDi Rover PRO has arrived as Australia's most advanced dual-suspension fat-tyre electric bike. This premium eBike combines cutting-edge technology with practical features that make it perfect for Australian riders who demand versatility, whether you're commuting through Sydney streets, exploring coastal paths, or tackling rugged off-road terrain.

What Makes the Rover PRO 500W Special?

The DiroDi Rover PRO 500W stands out in the Australian e-bike market with its comprehensive feature set designed specifically for our unique riding conditions. From beach sand to bush trails, city streets to countryside paths, this bike handles it all with confidence.

Power and Performance

At the heart of the Rover PRO is a powerful Shengyi 500W rear hub motor delivering an impressive 70Nm of torque. This brushless geared motor provides smooth, reliable power delivery whether you're accelerating from a stop or climbing steep hills.

The bike complies with Australian road regulations with a default maximum speed of 25 km/h for on-road use. For off-road adventures on private property, the motor can reach speeds up to 40 km/h, giving you the flexibility to match your riding environment.

Battery Technology and Range

Range anxiety is a thing of the past with the Rover PRO's premium Samsung 21700 battery pack. The 52V 20Ah battery (1040Wh capacity) provides:

  • Average range: 80km on a single charge
  • Maximum range: Up to 125km in optimal conditions
  • Throttle-only range: 35km
  • Charging time: Approximately 10 hours with the included 52V ST charger

The removable battery design means you can charge it anywhere - at home, at work, or even inside your apartment. There's also the option to add a second battery for extended adventures, effectively doubling your range.

KKE Dual Suspension System

The Rover PRO's KKE dual-suspension system is where comfort meets performance. With 8cm of front travel and 7cm of rear travel, both featuring compression adjustment, you'll glide over bumps, potholes, and rough terrain with ease.

This isn't just about comfort - it's about confidence. The suspension keeps your tyres in contact with the ground, improving traction and control whether you're navigating city streets or exploring bush trails.

Fat Tyres for Australian Conditions

The 20-inch Vee Huntsman fat tyres are 4 inches wide, providing exceptional grip and stability on any surface. These tyres excel on:

  • Beach sand and coastal paths
  • Gravel and dirt trails
  • Wet roads and slippery surfaces
  • Smooth pavement and bike paths

Combined with the dual suspension, these fat tyres make the Rover PRO capable of handling terrain that would challenge conventional eBikes.

Premium Security Features

The DiroDi Rover PRO includes innovative security features that set it apart:

  • Motorised Rear Wheel Lock: Advanced electronic locking at the touch of a button
  • Optional Patent-Pending Steering Lock: Additional security when parked in public
  • Lockable Under-Seat Storage: Keep valuables secure while you ride
  • Hidden AirTag Slot: Discreetly track your investment with Apple AirTag

Car-Grade Lighting System

Safety is paramount, and the Rover PRO delivers with a car-grade front light featuring fog mode. This integrated lighting system runs directly from the bike battery and can be controlled through the display screen, ensuring superior visibility in all conditions - from early morning commutes to evening rides.

 

Cargo Capacity and Practicality

The Rover PRO is built for real-world use with impressive cargo capabilities:

  • Premium rear basket (included): 40cm x 28cm x 7-14cm
  • 50kg maximum load rear rack
  • 170kg maximum frame load capacity
  • Custom 60cm long 2-person seat for sharing the adventure

Whether you're carrying groceries, work gear, or camping equipment, the Rover PRO has you covered.

Braking System

Confident stopping power comes from Tektro HD-E3520 hydraulic disc brakes with massive 203mm rotors. These brakes provide reliable, progressive stopping power in all weather conditions, essential for a bike with this much power and cargo capacity.

Drivetrain and Gearing

The 7-speed Shimano Tourney drivetrain with Prowheel double-wall chainring and KMC Z7RB anti-rust chain ensures smooth, reliable shifting. The anti-rust coating on the chain is particularly valuable for Australian coastal riders.

Frame and Build Quality

The aluminium alloy 6061 frame strikes the perfect balance between strength and weight. At 40kg, the bike is substantial but manageable, and the frame supports a maximum load of 180kg.

Available in both step-over and step-through frame options, the Rover PRO accommodates riders from 160cm to 190cm tall (5'3" to 6'3").

  • Commuters who want a reliable, feature-packed eBike for daily use

  • Couples who want to share rides with the 2-person seat
  • Anyone needing serious cargo capacity for shopping or work
  • Riders who value premium features and security
  • Beach and coastal riders who need fat tyres and rust-resistant components

Bike Maintenance

The DiroDi Rover PRO uses quality components that are readily available in Australia. Regular maintenance is similar to a conventional bicycle, with a few e-bike specific considerations:

  • Brake pads may need replacement every 600-900km depending on riding style and rider weight
  • Keep the chain clean and lubricated, especially after beach or wet rides
  • Check tyre pressure regularly - fat tyres perform best at lower pressures (typically 10-20 PSI)
  • Store the battery at 50-70% charge if not using the bike for extended periods

Final Thoughts

The DiroDi Rover PRO 500W represents two years of development focused on creating the ultimate Australian eBike experience. It combines premium components, innovative security features, and genuine versatility for riders who demand the best.

Whether you're commuting to work, running errands around town, exploring coastal trails, or embarking on weekend adventures, the Rover PRO 500W is ready to elevate every journey.
