Flightrisk FR505X Street Legal Electric Bike | Champagne

FlightRisk FR505X Street Legal Electric Bike | Series VI

The family all-rounder of the FlightRisk range, rebuilt for Series VI. The FR505X Street Legal pairs a lighter-weight fat tyre frame with a long two-up seat that, with FlightRisk's front cushion, pegs and baby seat, can carry up to four. It's a smart, compact alternative to a bulky cargo bike, it suits teens and shorter riders, and it's EN15194 certified so you can ride it on roads and bike paths with no licence or rego.

Road Legal in Australia

This is FlightRisk's factory EN15194 build. The 250W Bafang motor gives pedal assist up to 25 km/h and the throttle is restricted to a 6 km/h walk assist, which is what makes it legal on roads and bike paths without a licence or registration. From March 2029 NSW will only allow EN15194 e-bikes on roads and paths, so this bike is already ahead of the rules. The Street Legal and Off Road versions are built differently at the factory, so choose the version that matches where you'll ride.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it really carry four people?

With FlightRisk's front cushion, foot pegs and a baby seat fitted, FlightRisk rates the FR505X to carry up to four, within the 180 kg max load. Check your state's rules on carrying passengers and children on a bicycle before you ride on the road.

Does it have a throttle?

Yes, but on this road-legal model it works as a walk assist up to 6 km/h, as Australian rules require. Above that the motor only helps while you pedal. The Off Road version has an unrestricted throttle but is for private property only.

How far will it go on a charge?

Up to 80 km on the 25Ah Samsung battery. Expect the top figure on flat ground in Eco mode; hills, passengers, wind and cold weather reduce it.

Does it come assembled?

It arrives 95% assembled. Final setup is the handlebars and a few finishing touches, and it's ready to ride.

What does the FR Escape App do?

It connects the bike to your phone over 4G: live tracking, remote disable if the bike is taken, smart unlock and ride replay. The first year is free with every FlightRisk e-bike.

What warranty does it come with?

FlightRisk covers the FR505X with a 2-year warranty. Twelve Board Store is an authorised FlightRisk dealer, so warranty claims are handled properly.
