Fatboy DNA V3 EN15194 Electric Bike — Gloss Black
Road Legal as Sold Australia-Wide | Top Speed: 25km/h | EN15194:2017 Certified
The DNA V3 is Fatboy's entry point into the fat-tyre electric bike world — light, simple, and seriously easy to ride. Built for shorter and younger riders, or anyone who wants the iconic Fatboy look and confidence without the bulk, the DNA delivers a rigid, responsive ride that feels natural from the first pedal stroke. No gears to think about. No complexity. Just hop on and go.
Where other eBikes compromise on aesthetics to pack in power, the DNA keeps things honest — a clean single-speed drivetrain, a compact rigid frame, and the FBX intelligent power architecture developed alongside Bafang connecting the motor, battery, and controller into one seamless ecosystem. The result is smoother power delivery, better efficiency, and a more controlled ride built into the core of the bike.
The DNA V3 is built to EN15194:2017 — the European safety standard for EPAC e-bikes — and is road legal as sold across all Australian states. It cannot be unlocked or de-restricted beyond 25km/h. The throttle is included with isolator and is intended for private property use only.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes an electric bike street legal in Australia?
To ride an electric bike on public roads and paths in Australia, it generally needs to meet EPAC (Electrically Power Assisted Cycle) standards — motor assistance limited to 25km/h, a maximum continuous motor power of 250W, and the motor must only assist while pedalling, not propel the bike on its own. The bike also needs to meet a recognised safety certification. The Fatboy DNA V3 meets all of these requirements as sold and is road legal across all Australian states without modification. Always check your specific state's regulations before riding, as rules around footpaths and shared paths vary.
What is EN15194 and why does it matter?
EN15194:2017 is the European safety standard for EPAC electric bikes and is one of two certifications recognised for road-legal e-bikes in Australia (the other being UL 2271/UL 2849). A bike certified to EN15194 has been tested and verified to meet strict requirements around electrical safety, braking performance, motor power limits, and speed assistance cutoff. For riders in Australia, it means the bike is compliant for road use as sold — no modifications, no grey areas. The Fatboy DNA V3 is EN15194 certified and cannot be unlocked or de-restricted beyond 25km/h.
Do I need a licence or registration to ride the Fatboy DNA V3?
No — because the DNA V3 meets EPAC standards, it is treated as a bicycle under Australian law, not a motor vehicle. This means no licence, no registration, and no compulsory third party insurance is required to ride it on public roads and bike paths. You do still need to wear a helmet, follow road rules, and comply with any local path rules in your state. If you're unsure about specific rules in your area, check with your state's road authority.
