Amp'd Bros ACE-X Adventure Series 5 Road Legal Electric Bike | Dune

Amp'd Bros ACE-X Adventure S5 Road Legal Electric Bike

The fat tyre bike that kicked off Australia's fat-bike wave, rebuilt for Series 5. The ACE-X Adventure is the ACE dialled for distance and comfort: a big 960Wh Samsung-cell battery, a plush two-up seat, Maxxis all-terrain rubber and factory EN15194 certification. One bike that does the commute, the coastal track and the weekend run with a passenger on the back, legally, on the road and the bike path.

Why You'll Love It

• Goes the distance: 48V 20Ah battery built on premium Samsung 21700 cells, good for up to 80 km a charge. It's removable, so you charge it inside, not the bike.
• Pulls up hills: Bafang rear hub motor with 80 Nm of torque, plus Hill Boost for short bursts on the steep stuff. The bike does the hard work, you stay fresh.
• Stops when it counts: 2-piston hydraulic discs on oversized 203 mm rotors. Big rotors matter when you're carrying two.
• Grips everywhere: tough Maxxis all-terrain 20 x 4" fat tyres float over sand and gravel and stay planted on wet bitumen.
• Connected: Ampd Bros GO App with live 4G GPS tracking, digital key, remote lock and alerts, ride stats, parental controls and software updates.
• Built for two: redesigned ribbed two-up comfort seat, adjustable front suspension and a 180 kg max load.
• Make it yours: customisable side panels and premium black spokes throughout.

Road Legal in Australia

This is the factory EN15194 road model (certificate SGS-260938-EA, which is also its NSW approval). It's rated at 250W continuous, pedal assist cuts out at 25 km/h and the throttle works as a 6 km/h walk assist only. That's what lets you ride it on roads and bike paths with no licence or rego. From March 2029 NSW will only allow EN15194 e-bikes on roads and paths, so this bike is already ahead of the rules. The road and off-road versions are built differently at the factory and one can't be converted to the other later.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far will the ACE-X Adventure go on a charge?

Up to 80 km on the 960Wh battery. Expect the top figure on flat ground in a low assist level; hills, a passenger, headwinds and cold mornings bring it down. The battery is removable for charging indoors.

Can I carry a passenger?

Yes. The long two-up seat is built for two and the bike carries up to 180 kg in total. Check your state's rules on carrying passengers on a bicycle before you double up 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 the Australian rules require. Above that, the motor only helps while you pedal. If you want an unrestricted throttle for private property, look at the off-road version.

What does the GO App do?

It links the bike to your phone over 4G: live GPS location, alerts if the bike is moved, unlock with your phone, ride stats, power settings, parental controls and over-the-air software updates.

What's the difference between Step Over and Step Through?

Step Over (the X frame) has a cross bar for a stiffer, sportier feel. Step Through (S frame) drops the bar so you can walk straight onto the bike, which suits riders who find it hard to swing a leg over. Ride and specs are otherwise the same.

What warranty does it come with?

Amp'd Bros covers its adult e-bikes with a 2-year Australian warranty that includes the battery, backed by a national network of service agents. Twelve Board Store is an authorised Amp'd Bros dealer, so warranty claims are handled properly.
