Fatboy The Bagus V3 Electric Bike | Gloss Black
The Flagship Cruiser. Maximum Range. Fatboy's Most Advanced Ride.
The Fatboy Bagus V3 sits at the top of the Fatboy lineup — and it earns that position. Larger battery, smarter power platform, industry-first suspension, and purpose-built braking make the V3 the most capable, most refined fat-tyre cruiser Fatboy has ever made. If you're buying once and buying the best, this is it.
The V3's biggest advance is the FBX Power Platform — developed alongside Bafang, FBX connects the battery, motor, and controller into one unified intelligent ecosystem. Rather than three components working independently, FBX manages power delivery as a single system, resulting in smoother assist across all nine levels, better efficiency, and a more responsive feel under load. It also introduces password-protected speed control, letting you set and lock a custom top speed for family or shared use — a genuinely useful feature that no previous Fatboy model offered. The motor is the proven 52V BAFANG rear-hub rated at 500W continuous and 100Nm torque through a 1,560W peak controller, now working smarter through FBX.
The Bagus V3 is the only model in the range with an extended 25Ah Samsung lithium-ion battery — approximately 25% more capacity than the standard Fatboy 20Ah pack across the Scrambler and Harlem. That translates directly to more distance between charges, more freedom on longer coastal or weekend rides, and less range anxiety on days when you're not sure how far you'll end up going. The suspension is Fatboy's own proprietary design — an industry first for fat-tyre e-bikes, built from custom tooling engineered specifically for the V3's weight and geometry, with preload, compression, and rebound tuning front and rear. The braking system is equally custom: 4-piston calipers with metal sintered pads and cooling fins, paired with 203mm discs now 2.9mm thick for stronger, longer-lasting stopping power. Ergonomics were fully reconsidered for the V3 — lower-profile seat, refined handlebar position, and an updated crank ratio that keeps pedalling smooth and effortless even at higher speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Fatboy Bagus V3 legal to ride on Australian roads?
Yes — when operated in pedal-assist mode restricted to 25km/h, the Bagus 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 Bagus V3?
The 25Ah battery gives the Bagus V3 approximately 25% more capacity than the 20Ah Scrambler and Harlem models — so real-world range is meaningfully better under equivalent conditions. Actual distance varies based on rider weight, terrain, tyre pressure, temperature, and assist level used. The FBX platform also improves efficiency over older Fatboy systems. In mixed city riding at moderate assist expect 50–80km. For maximum range: use PAS 1–2 on flat sections, maintain recommended tyre pressure, and avoid repeated full-throttle starts.
How does the Bagus V3 compare to the Scrambler V3 and Harlem V3?
All three V3 models share the same FBX power platform, custom proprietary suspension, 4-piston brakes, and ergonomic upgrades. The Bagus V3 is the flagship of the range — it's the only model with the extended 25Ah battery (Scrambler and Harlem both run 20Ah), and it sits at the top of the lineup for riders who want maximum range and the full Fatboy technology package. If range is your priority, the Bagus V3 is the one. All three are available at our Melbourne showroom for a side-by-side comparison.
About Fatboy Electric Bikes
