Is the AMPD Bros Chubbie-S 2 road legal in Australia?
Yes. The AMPD Bros Chubbie-S 2 is a 250W pedal-assist e-bike that stops assisting at 25 km/h, which meets the road-legal e-bike standard in every Australian state. It ships with a throttle; on a road-legal e-bike the throttle must not propel the bike above 6 km/h, so check how the throttle is set for your state. Compliance is asserted by the brand rather than independently verified, so confirm the current spec with the seller.
What is the range of the AMPD Bros Chubbie-S 2?
The AMPD Bros Chubbie-S 2 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.
What motor does the AMPD Bros Chubbie-S 2 have?

How much does the AMPD Bros Chubbie-S 2 weigh?
The AMPD Bros Chubbie-S 2 weighs about 38 kg. That matters if you need to lift it onto a car rack, carry it up stairs, or store it, since e-bikes are heavier than regular bikes because of the motor and battery.
Who sells and backs the AMPD Bros Chubbie-S 2 in Australia?
The AMPD Bros range is distributed in Australia by AMPD Bros (Gold Coast, QLD). It comes with a 2 years frame, 2 years motor and battery warranty. Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
