Fatboy Electric Bikes

What Makes a Fatboy Street Legal

A fat tyre e-bike is street legal in Australia when it is EN15194-certified: a 250W motor, pedal-assist, with assistance cutting off at 25km/h. A bike that meets that spec is treated the same as a regular bicycle, so no licence and no registration. The fat tyres make no difference to that, which is where the confusion comes from. Fatboy makes street legal models that meet this spec, and higher-powered off-road models for riders who want more grunt on private land. If you would like a hand choosing between them, give us a call and we will talk it through.

The Fatboy Story

Fatboy was created by two mates who wanted to challenge what a bike could do and where it could go. They built bikes with premium-quality parts at an affordable price to do it. That value proposition, paired with genuinely good componentry and the stability and comfort of fat tyres, has made Fatboy one of the most popular fat tyre e-bikes in the country. Designed here, for the way we ride here.

Why Fatboy

The appeal is premium fat tyre performance without the premium-brand price tag. Fat tyres deliver grip, comfort and confidence across a mix of streets, paths, gravel and sand. Quality hydraulic brakes mean it stops properly and holds up over time. And the value pricing means more bike for your money. It is the smart-buy choice for riders who want real capability without overspending.

The Fatboy Range

The range spans different frames, motor outputs and battery configurations, from street legal models through to higher-powered off-road builds. Frame style, riding position and power all differ across the line-up, so the best way to choose is to tell us how and where you want to ride, or come and sit on them at Richmond. We will point you at the right one rather than just the most expensive.

Motor Power

Motor power drives hill performance and defines a street legal bike. 250W is the street legal spec and is enough for genuine commuting. The higher-powered models give you more grunt for off-road and private land. Which is right depends on what you are after, and we are happy to help you weigh it up.

Battery and Range

Battery capacity is measured in watt-hours. Bigger battery, more range. Claimed figures are best-case, calculated on flat ground with a light rider on low assist, so expect less with hills, rider weight, throttle use and cold. Ask us for the honest real-world number on the model you are looking at.

Brakes and Suspension

Hydraulic disc brakes come standard across the Fatboy range and they are the right call on a bike this heavy and quick. They give stronger, more consistent stopping with less lever effort and need less adjustment than mechanical brakes. Suspension where fitted smooths out rough paths, gutters and gravel.

Battery Care and Safety

Charge with the supplied charger, avoid storing fully flat or fully charged for long periods, do not charge unattended overnight, and keep it out of extreme heat. Genuine product from an authorised dealer means a battery you can trust, which is a key reason to buy local rather than grey import. If a battery ever swells, smells or behaves oddly, stop using it and bring it in.
