Fatboy Scrambler V3 Electric Bike
Rugged. Refined. Built for the Long Way Around.
The Fatboy Scrambler V3 is the benchmark fat-tyre cruiser for riders who want comfort, stability, and unmistakable presence in one tough everyday package. It stays true to what made the Scrambler famous — rugged stance, two-up capability, fat tyres built for anything — and refines every system underneath. Smoother suspension, stronger brakes, smarter power. If you ride it back to back with a V2, you feel the difference immediately.
The V3's biggest leap forward is the FBX Power Platform — developed alongside Bafang, FBX connects the battery, motor, and controller into one unified intelligent ecosystem rather than three separate components bolted together. The result is smoother power delivery, better efficiency across all nine assist levels, and a more responsive feel under load. The motor itself is the proven 52V BAFANG rear-hub rated at 500W continuous output and 100Nm torque, paired with a 52V 20Ah Samsung lithium-ion battery and a 1,560W peak controller — the same strong core as the V2, now smarter in how it delivers power.
Fatboy built the V3 suspension entirely from their own tooling — an industry first for fat-tyre e-bikes. The front suspension includes preload, compression, and rebound tuning that you can dial in to your weight and terrain, giving you precise control over how the bike feels whether you're on smooth bike paths or rougher back roads. Combined with a fully adjustable rear mono-shock, the V3 lets you set up the ride exactly how you want it. The braking system is equally custom — 4-piston calipers with metal sintered pads and cooling fins, paired with heavy-duty 203mm discs now 2.9mm thick for stronger, longer-lasting stopping power under load and repeated hard braking. Ergonomics were also refined for the V3: lower-profile seat, new handlebar position, and an updated crank ratio that keeps high-speed pedalling smooth and effortless all day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Fatboy Scrambler V3 legal to ride on Australian roads?
Yes — when operated in pedal-assist mode restricted to 25km/h, the Scrambler V3 meets Australian EPAC requirements and is legal for public road use in VIC, NSW, QLD, SA, ACT, WA, and TAS. The motor cuts out at 25km/h or when pedalling stops above 6km/h. The twist throttle is supplied with an isolator and must be disabled on public roads — it's for private property use only. Regulations vary slightly by state so call us on 03 9421 2293 if you want clarity before purchasing.
What's the real-world range on the Scrambler V3?
Real-world range varies based on rider weight, terrain, tyre pressure, temperature, and assist level. The FBX platform improves efficiency compared to older Fatboy systems, meaning the 20Ah Samsung battery goes further under equivalent conditions. In mixed city riding at moderate assist expect 40–70km. For maximum range: use PAS 1–2 on flat sections, maintain recommended tyre pressure, and avoid repeated full-throttle starts. The Scrambler V3 is tuned for stable cruising rather than aggressive riding, so natural use tends to be efficient.
How does the Scrambler V3 compare to the V2?
Both run the same 52V 20Ah Samsung battery and 500W BAFANG motor at their core — so power and range are comparable. The V3 upgrades are substantial: the FBX unified power platform for smoother delivery, Fatboy's proprietary custom front suspension with full preload/compression/rebound tuning versus the V2's standard front fork, upgraded 4-piston brakes with metal sintered pads and 2.9mm thick discs, and refined ergonomics throughout. The V2 is the lighter, more characterful original at a sharper clearance price. The V3 is the refined everyday machine built to last and loaded with Fatboy's latest technology. Both are in our Melbourne showroom for a side-by-side ride.
