Yes — you can ride a brand-new e-bike in Sydney from $99.99 a week with a Cyberbikes rent-to-own plan. You pay a one-off $399.99 deposit plus a weekly instalment over 12, 24, 36 or 48 weeks, and at the end of your plan the full-suspension Centauro is yours to keep — no balloon payment and nothing to hand back. It is the simplest way to get on a premium e-bike now and pay it off as you ride.
If you have been searching for a way to rent to own an electric bike in Sydney without a lump-sum purchase, this is exactly what our plan is built for: weekly payments from $99 and the bike is yours at the end of the term.
How rent-to-own works at Cyberbikes
Rent-to-own splits the cost of the Centauro into a deposit and weekly payments, so you skip the big upfront price of buying outright. Every plan starts with the same $399.99 deposit; you then pick how fast you want to pay it off. A longer plan means a lower weekly payment, while a shorter plan clears it faster for less overall. Here are the current Sydney rent-to-own plans:
| Plan | Weekly | Deposit | Total to own (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 weeks | $349.99 | $399.99 | ~$4,599 |
| 24 weeks | $189.99 | $399.99 | ~$4,959 |
| 36 weeks | $129.99 | $399.99 | ~$5,079 |
| 48 weeks | $99.99 | $399.99 | ~$5,199 |
What’s included in every rent-to-own plan
Your weekly payment covers a lot more than just the bike. Every Cyberbikes rent-to-own plan includes a helmet, GPS tracker, lock, alarm and a phone holder or top-tube bag, plus one free tune-up every 12 weeks (labour covered up to $130 per visit; parts not included) and an 18-month warranty. The Centauro itself is a genuine all-rounder: a 250W rear-hub motor, a UL-certified 48V 25Ah Samsung battery, full front-and-rear suspension, hydraulic disc brakes and a welded rear rack rated to 50 kg. You can also add a front basket or mirrors, and choose from black, blue, silver or yellow. New to e-bikes?

Rent-to-own vs buying outright: which makes sense?
Buying outright is cheapest in total and best if you have the cash ready. Rent-to-own suits you if you would rather keep your savings, spread the cost, and start riding — and commuting instead of driving — this week. Many Sydney riders find the weekly payment is comparable to what they were spending on fuel, parking, tolls or public transport, so the e-bike effectively pays for itself while you own more of it every week. Because you keep the bike at the end, every dollar goes towards ownership rather than disappearing into a rental.
How to start rent-to-own this week
Rent-to-own is available to Sydney customers, and getting approved is quick. Bring your ID, proof of address, a debit or credit card, your BSB and account details, and proof of employment to Cyberbikes at 281 Parramatta Road, Leichhardt. Approval is subject to a short staff assessment, after which you pay the $399.99 deposit and your first weekly instalment and ride away. Please note Afterpay, EasyPay and similar finance cards are not accepted. You can choose your Centauro rent-to-own plan online or come in for a test ride first.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a rent-to-own e-bike cost in Sydney?
At Cyberbikes, rent-to-own on the Centauro starts at $99.99 a week on the 48-week plan, plus a one-off $399.99 deposit. Shorter plans cost more per week but less overall — for example the 12-week plan is $349.99 a week. Whichever plan you choose, the e-bike is yours to keep at the end.
Can I get an ebike on rent to own in Sydney?
Yes. Cyberbikes offers ebike rent to own in Sydney, with a rent to own ebike plan from $99.99 a week plus a $399.99 deposit. You ride a brand-new Centauro straight away and own it outright once the weekly instalments finish — no balloon payment and nothing to hand back.
Do I actually own the e-bike at the end of the plan?
Yes. Rent-to-own is not a lease you hand back. Once you finish your chosen 12, 24, 36 or 48-week plan, the Cyberbikes Centauro is yours outright, and it comes with an 18-month warranty.
Who can apply for rent-to-own at Cyberbikes?
Rent-to-own is available to Sydney customers. To apply, bring your ID, proof of address, a debit or credit card, your BSB and account details, and proof of employment. Approval is subject to a quick staff assessment. Note that Afterpay, EasyPay and similar finance cards are not accepted.
How big a deposit do you need for a rent-to-own e-bike?
Every Cyberbikes rent-to-own plan starts with the same one-off $399.99 deposit, whatever term you choose. There is no balloon payment at the end and no separate finance application — the deposit plus your weekly instalments cover the bike outright. Bring photo ID, proof of address, a debit or credit card and your BSB and account details when you come in to start.
Where can I get a rent-to-own e-bike near me in Sydney?
Cyberbikes is at 281 Parramatta Road, Leichhardt, open Tuesday to Saturday, and serves rent-to-own customers across Sydney. If you have been searching for rent-to-own bikes near you, you can start the plan in store, call 0491 794 668, or begin online at cyberbikes.com. Rent-to-own is available to Sydney customers only.
Is rent-to-buy the same as rent-to-own for bikes?
Yes — rent-to-buy and rent-to-own describe the same arrangement: you pay a deposit and weekly instalments, ride the bike the whole time, and own it outright once the plan finishes. That is what separates it from a straight rental or hire, where the bike goes back at the end and you keep nothing.
Is it worth it to rent to own an electric bike instead of buying outright?
For many riders, yes. When you rent to own an electric bike you spread the cost into weekly payments (from $99 per week at Cyberbikes, with a $399.99 deposit) instead of paying the full price up front, and unlike a plain rental the payments end with you owning the bike. Buying outright is cheaper in total if you have the cash available, so the choice comes down to cash flow: rent-to-own trades a modest premium for zero lump sum.
