Amp'd Bros Taipan Off-Road Electric Bike | Midnight Black

Amp'd Bros Taipan Off-Road Electric Bike

The limited edition Taipan is Amp'd Bros' tribute to the 1970s chopper bike, four years in the making, here in its factory off-road build. Long two-up seat, sissy-bar attitude and full Series 5 tech, with the power unleashed and no throttle restriction. Built for cruising private property, farm tracks and holiday spots without pedalling and without a speed cut-out.

Off-Road and Private Property Use Only

This is Amp'd Bros' factory off-road model. It does not meet the EN15194 e-bike standard, it is not a road-legal electric bicycle, and it can't be ridden on roads, footpaths, bike paths, shared paths, car parks or anywhere the public has access. Ride it on land you own or land where you have the owner's permission. Amp'd Bros asks every off-road owner to complete its off-road acceptance (you must be 18 or over), and the bike can't be converted into a road-legal model later. If you want to ride on the street, choose the Taipan Road Legal version instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I ride the off-road Taipan on the street?

No. The off-road model isn't an EN15194 e-bike, so riding it anywhere the public has access can mean fines, seizure of the bike and no insurance cover. It's for private property only. For road and bike path riding, choose the Road Legal version.

Can it be made road legal later?

No. Amp'd Bros builds the road and off-road models differently at the factory, and limiting the speed or power afterwards doesn't make an off-road bike compliant.

Is the Taipan a limited edition?

Yes. Amp'd Bros is releasing the Taipan as a limited edition model, so colours may not be restocked once they sell through.

Can I limit the power for kids or new riders?

Yes. The GO App includes parental controls to adjust power and speed restrictions. Amp'd Bros recommends anyone under 16 is supervised by an adult on high-powered off-road bikes.

What warranty does it come with?

Amp'd Bros covers its adult e-bikes, including the Taipan, with a 2-year Australian warranty that includes the battery. Twelve Board Store is an authorised Amp'd Bros dealer.
