Product Information
All Fatboy Bikes models have a maximum continued rated power of 500 watts at 25km/h with a max load of 180kg. In the opinion of Fatboy Bikes this is inline with NSW EPAC legislation. The continued rated power can be further limited where required by restricting the bikes speed further. Throttles are strictly for private property use and should be isolated when riding in public. Each state has slightly different rules around e-bikes so before using this vehicle, check the applicable local laws relating to your intended use of the vehicle on roads, footpaths, shared paths, bicycle lanes and bicycle paths.
On February 2023, the government gave recognition to the NSW Minister for Metropolitan Roads for amending the Road Transport Act 2013’s provisions limiting the maximum power of e-bike motors permitted on public roads. The permissible level of continuous running power was increased from 250 watts to 500 watts by the Road Transport Legislation Amendment (Electric Skateboards and Bicycles) Regulation 2023
