Fatboy Bagus V2 Electric Bike

BMX Soul. Big-Torque Muscle. Built for Two.

The Fatboy Bagus V2 is the fat-tyre e-bike that started it all — and it's still one of the most characterful electric bikes you'll find anywhere in Australia. Where most e-bikes chase anonymity, the Bagus V2 leans hard into its BMX-influenced, retro-muscle identity. Compact 20-inch fat tyres, a long two-up saddle, and a posture that says more street cruiser than commuter tool. If you want an e-bike that gets looks at the traffic lights and genuinely earns them, this is it.

Under the attitude sits a serious drivetrain. The Bafang rear-hub motor runs on a 52V Samsung lithium-ion system delivering 500W continuous output, 1,560W peak controller power, and up to 100Nm of torque — enough pull to carry a passenger, climb a hill, and still feel effortless at cruising speed. The 20Ah battery is rated up to 100km per charge under ideal conditions, with a realistic mixed-city range of 40–70km depending on terrain, load, and how much you lean on the throttle. The battery is removable and lockable, so you can take it inside to charge without moving the whole bike.

Comfort hasn't been sacrificed for style. The V2 runs premium front suspension plus a rear adjustable mono-shock — uncommon at this price point and immediately noticeable on Melbourne's patchwork suburban roads. Stopping power comes from 203mm TEKTRO hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, and the Vee Rubber 20×4" puncture-resistant fat tyres give you a stable, planted feel across bitumen, gravel, and everything in between. The colour LCD display includes USB phone charging, trip data, odometer, range estimate, and a passcode lock — it's a complete package out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Fatboy Bagus V2 legal to ride on Australian roads?

Yes — when operated in pedal-assist mode restricted to 25km/h, the Bagus V2 meets Australian EPAC requirements for public road use. The twist throttle is supplied with an isolator and must be disabled on public roads; it's for private property use only. Speed above 25km/h is also private property only. Always check your state's current e-bike regulations before riding on public roads — our team can walk you through this in detail on 03 9421 2293.

What's the real-world range I should expect?

The 100km figure is under optimal conditions — light rider, flat terrain, low assist, consistent speed. In real Melbourne mixed-use riding expect 40–70km. If you're riding with a passenger, using higher assist levels, or hitting hills, plan for the lower end of that range. For maximum distance: use PAS 1–2 on flat sections, keep tyre pressure at the recommended level, and minimise full-throttle starts. The removable battery means you can carry a spare charger or charge at your destination without hassle.

How does the V2 compare to the Bagus V3?

The V2 is the original Bagus — compact 20-inch wheels, BMX-influenced style, lighter at 38kg, and currently on limited clearance stock. The V3 is the updated flagship with larger 26-inch fat tyres, a 25Ah battery, rear cargo rack, passenger pegs, and 4-piston brakes — heavier and more premium. If you want the more characterful, lighter, BMX-style bike at a sharper price point, the V2 is the one. If you want the most capable, longest-range cruiser with maximum load-carrying ability, that's the V3. Both are on the floor in our Melbourne showroom — come in and ride them both.

About Fatboy Bikes
Fatboy Bikes was founded by two mates with one straightforward idea: riding should be fun, and it shouldn't be limited by where the road ends. While other e-bike brands leaned into technical jargon and corporate polish, Fatboy leaned into freedom, adventure, and the pure enjoyment of getting out and riding. That philosophy has made them one of Australia's most loved electric bike brands — bikes built for people who ride because they love it, with a lineup and community that reflects that energy from top to bottom.
