TEBCO GiaCarlo Electric Bike
Retro European Style. Big 720Wh Battery. Built to Turn Heads.
The TEBCO GiaCarlo is an electric bike for riders who want something a little different.
With its distinctive retro European styling, long comfort saddle, high-rise handlebars, chunky 20 x 3-inch tyres and beautifully integrated rear cargo basket, the GiaCarlo has a personality all of its own. It's the sort of e-bike that gets noticed – whether you're cruising along the Adelaide coastline, heading to the local café or simply riding down to the shops.
But the GiaCarlo isn't just about looks.
Underneath the classic styling is a practical everyday e-bike with a 48V 250W rear hub motor, huge 720Wh Samsung battery, Shimano 7-speed gearing and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with large 180mm rotors.
Add the low step-through frame, front suspension, integrated lights and large rear basket with its included Basket Buddy Bag, and the GiaCarlo combines distinctive styling with genuine everyday practicality.
Key Highlights
-
Classic Retro European Styling
This is what immediately sets the GiaCarlo apart. The long saddle, high-rise bars, compact wheels and distinctive frame create a look that's unlike a conventional commuter e-bike. -
Large 720Wh Samsung Battery
The 48V 15Ah Samsung lithium battery provides an impressive amount of capacity for an urban e-bike, giving you plenty in reserve for longer recreational rides and everyday transport. -
250W Rear Hub Motor
The 48V ShengYi rear hub motor provides straightforward pedal assistance up to 25 km/h. -
9 Levels of Pedal Assistance
Choose how much assistance you want through the colour display, making it easy to tailor the bike to the terrain and how much effort you want to put in. -
Easy Step-Through Frame
With a low 40cm step-over height, getting on and off the GiaCarlo is simple and convenient. -
20 x 3-Inch Kenda Cursor Tyres
The wide tyres give the GiaCarlo its distinctive stance while providing plenty of cushioning, stability and confidence on sealed roads and bike paths. -
Tektro Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Quality Tektro HD-E350 hydraulic brakes with large 180mm rotors front and rear provide strong, predictable stopping performance. -
Shimano 7-Speed Gearing
Simple Shimano trigger shifting gives you a useful range of mechanical gears to complement the electric assistance. -
Large Rear Cargo Basket
A frame-integrated rear rack with a 25kg carrying capacity gives the GiaCarlo genuine everyday utility. -
Basket Buddy Bag Included
The included bag makes the rear cargo area even more useful for shopping, picnics and everyday belongings. -
Full-Colour Display with USB Port
Clearly see your speed, assistance level and battery information while also having access to USB charging. -
Integrated Front & Rear Lights
Front and rear 48V lighting is already fitted for everyday convenience.
The Style Is Half the Fun
There's no point pretending the GiaCarlo is trying to blend in.
It isn't.
The retro Euro-inspired design is a huge part of this bike's appeal. The high-rise handlebars create a relaxed riding position, the long saddle adds to its unmistakable appearance, and the wide 20-inch tyres give it a substantial stance.
It's a bike with personality.
For someone who loves the idea of an e-bike but doesn't necessarily want something that looks like a traditional bicycle or conventional commuter, the GiaCarlo offers something refreshingly different.
Huge 720Wh Samsung Battery
One of the specifications that really stands out on the GiaCarlo is its battery.
The 48V 15Ah Samsung lithium battery provides 720Wh of capacity, which is substantial for this style of urban e-bike.
TEBCO quotes a maximum assisted range of up to 80km* under suitable conditions.
As with every e-bike, actual range will depend heavily on rider weight, terrain, assistance level, wind, tyre pressure and how the bike is ridden. But starting with a 720Wh battery gives the GiaCarlo plenty of capacity for everyday riding.
Practical Enough for Everyday Life
The GiaCarlo might attract attention because of its styling, but there's plenty of practicality built into it.
The rear of the frame incorporates a heavy-duty rack rated to 25kg, with a large basket and Basket Buddy Bag included.
That makes it ideal for trips to the shops, carrying a backpack, picking up groceries or packing a few things for an afternoon ride.
Full-length mudguards, integrated front and rear lights and an adjustable kickstand further add to the everyday usability.
Instead of buying an e-bike and then immediately adding accessories to make it practical, much of what you need is already there.

Why We Love It
The TEBCO GiaCarlo isn't trying to be another generic commuter e-bike – and that's exactly why we like it.
It's fun.
It looks different, has a comfortable upright riding position, carries your gear and has a massive 720Wh Samsung battery sitting behind its distinctive retro design.
The combination of the low step-through frame and wide 3-inch tyres also makes it approachable for riders who value stability and ease of getting on and off their bike.
Then there's the practicality. The large rear basket is genuinely useful, hydraulic brakes provide proper stopping performance, and the 7-speed Shimano drivetrain means you've still got conventional gearing to work alongside the electric assistance.
If you're shopping purely by weight, the GiaCarlo's 36kg isn't going to be its strongest selling point.
But that's missing the point of this bike.
The GiaCarlo is about comfort, style, stability and enjoying the ride.
Perfect for Adelaide Coastal Cruising
We think the GiaCarlo is particularly well suited to Adelaide's flatter coastal areas.
Cruise from Brighton towards Glenelg, head down to the beach, meet friends for coffee or use it instead of taking the car for shorter local trips.
The relaxed riding position, wide tyres and electric assistance make it a bike that's less about chasing average speeds and more about simply enjoying where you're going.
And when you stop at the café, you're unlikely to lose it in a row of identical-looking bikes.
