Taipan Electric Bike

The Ampd Bros Taipan is a retro chopper-style electric bike that has been 4 years in the making, a bold, modern reimagining of the iconic Raleigh Chopper of the 1970s, combining old-school character with premium e-bike technology. Built around a step-over X frame with a suspension fork and 20" wheels, the Taipan cuts a distinctive profile on any street, backed by serious performance credentials that match its unmistakable looks. Every Taipan arrives with a modular seat system, a low-back seat for a clean cruiser profile and a high-back seat for serious retro character, giving riders the freedom to switch between two distinct looks in minutes. Power comes from a Bafang 250 W rear hub motor delivering 80 Nm of torque, backed by a 4th generation 52 V 20 Ah Samsung 21700 premium cell battery for up to 80 km of range per charge. The Taipan's Hill Boost feature sets it apart, hold the minus button on the display to activate short bursts of extra torque for conquering steep climbs and quick acceleration, all while remaining fully EN15194 street-legal certified and compliant. A 3.5" ultra colour LCD display provides real-time speed, battery level, trip data, ride modes, and settings at a glance, while app connectivity keeps your ride data accessible and your settings customisable. Shimano Altus 7-speed gearing with Shimano Rapidfire shifters provides smooth, reliable gear changes on any gradient, while 2-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors deliver powerful, consistent stopping power in all conditions. A 17 W LED light with daytime running light (DRL) and low-beam mode ensures visibility day and night on every model, while an integrated rear brake and tail light keeps you visible from behind. An adjustable cup holder is included for those essential coffee run stops. The Taipan arrives with everything you need to get started, tool kit, bike charger (AU plug), Ampd Bros carry bag, tyre pump, instructional manual with video links, and compatibility with Ampd Bros family, pet, cargo, and surf trailers for extended adventures. Backed by a 2-year warranty and Ampd Bros' nationwide dealer network and local parts support, the Taipan is a premium, fully equipped chopper cruiser e-bike at 50 kg with a maximum load of 180 kg.
