Is it for you?
Best suited to
Kids' model for first-time riders on private property. AMPD says ages 3.5 and up and rider heights of 100 to 115cm, with a 50kg maximum load.
Standout strength
The lightest bike in the AMPD kids range at 22.5kg, with dual suspension, hydraulic disc brakes and three speed modes of 15, 20 and 25 km/h plus parental controls.
The main compromise
The small 24V 5Ah battery gives about an hour or 15km, and a young rider will outgrow it quickly.
Consider something else if
You want a pedal bike for your child to ride on paths, since this model is for private property only.
Check before you buy
Start in the 15 km/h Eco mode, check your child fits the 100 to 115cm height range, and ride on private property only.

Common questions
How much does the AMPD Bros EVO Racing 16 cost in Australia?
The AMPD Bros EVO Racing 16 is listed at $1,599 (price at ampdbros.com.au (kids off-road only model)). eBikeFinder checks pricing against manufacturer and distributor information, and prices can change with sales and stock. This price was last checked on 17 Oct 2026.
Is the AMPD Bros EVO Racing 16 road legal in Australia?
Not as a bicycle. The AMPD Bros EVO Racing 16 sits outside the 250W pedal-assist standard (through higher power or a throttle that drives it beyond walking pace), so in Australia it is treated as a motor vehicle. That means it is for private property or off-road use, not public roads or shared paths, unless registered.
What is the range of the AMPD Bros EVO Racing 16?
The AMPD Bros EVO Racing 16 has a claimed range of about 15 km from its 120Wh 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 EVO Racing 16 have?
The AMPD Bros EVO Racing 16 uses a Rear hub (brand not published) motor, in a rear hub position, producing 40Nm of torque. The torque figure is as advertised by the seller and may be measured at the wheel, so it is not directly comparable with e-bike motor torque.
How much does the AMPD Bros EVO Racing 16 weigh?
The AMPD Bros EVO Racing 16 weighs about 22.5 kg as listed. Plan transport around a trailer, ramp or van.
Who sells and backs the AMPD Bros EVO Racing 16 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.
