Ampd Brothers is an Australian brand built in Burleigh Heads, Queensland. The Ace X Plus Series 4 has been independently cited as Australia's best electric bike for 2026 by reviewers who test these things seriously. We stock Ampd Brothers because we agree with that assessment — it's one of the most capable fat tyre electric bikes available in Australia for the money.
The Brand
Ampd Brothers started with a clear focus: high-performance fat tyre electric bikes, designed for adventure, built for Australian conditions. The brand is Australian-owned and operated — parts support, warranty response and brand communication all happen on local terms. We chose Ampd Brothers because the bikes earn it. The value proposition — what you get for the price — is strong. The build quality holds up. And when we've needed to sort something for a customer, the brand has been easy to work with.
The Bikes
Motor and performance
Ampd Brothers uses Bafang motors — the same benchmark hub motor as Fatboy. Reliable, high-torque, strong on Melbourne terrain. The bikes feel punchy and responsive in a way that some more restrained road-legal bikes do not.
Battery and range
Real-world range in Melbourne conditions for an average-weight rider in ECO or MID assist is 50 to 70km. The battery capacity is competitive for the price point. Batteries are built around quality cells and meet Australian safety standards.
EN15194 and unrestricted options
Ampd Brothers offers both road-legal EN15194 certified models — fully legal on Melbourne's shared paths, bike lanes and public roads — and unrestricted high-performance models for private property and off-road use only. We'll confirm which configuration suits your situation before you buy.
What Ampd Brothers Is Good For
Riders who want the most bike for their budget. The combination of motor output, battery capacity and build quality at the price point is genuinely strong — you are buying an Australian brand without the international brand premium attached. It suits daily commuters who want performance without paying for a badge. It suits recreational riders who want to cover real distances. It suits riders who want to buy Australian.
