Is it for you?
Best suited to
Taller riders who want a full-size 26-inch fat-tyre beach cruiser with long range and a clean, integrated battery.
Standout strength
26 x 4.0 tyres roll over sand and broken ground better than 20-inch fat bikes, and the 960Wh battery gives a claimed 80km plus.
The main compromise
A big bike to store and transport, and there is no suspension fork as standard.
Check before you buy
The step-through version is sold as the Chubbie-S 3 at the same price. Order the road-compliant configuration for public roads.

What is the range of the AMPD Bros Chubbie 3?
The AMPD Bros Chubbie 3 has a claimed range of about 80 km from its 960Wh battery. Real-world range is usually lower than the claim, since it depends on assist level, rider weight, terrain and wind.

How much does the AMPD Bros Chubbie 3 weigh?
