Each of these e-trikes is equipped to transport over 100 small parcels and up to 1,200 letters. The load capacity is 120 kg or 270 kg with a trailer, according to the Kyburz website. The EVs used in Australia drive at speeds with up to 45 kph and offer a range of up to 115 km.

Modifiers love the bikes because of their basic construction - radio host Merrick Watts has a side business, Post Modern motorcycles, specialising in exactly that. The current Honda CT110 bike has developed something of a cult following. Currently, Australia Post replaces its motorbikes every three years or 25,000 kilometres. The new models will be phased in over the coming years.

It features electronic fuel injection, and also has electric start - no doubt a relief for posties who’ve developed an unusually large right leg from kick-starting their current two-wheeler.

Not only are the new bikes safer, they’re also more efficient. The new grey and lime green step-through bikes will be fitted with highly visible fluorescent yellow pannier bags - a much more eye-catching appearance than the current red and orange combo, which will make the posties easier to spot on the road - and the plastic shield at the front of the bike keeps the rider’s knees protected, too.
