Is it for you?
Best suited to
Kids' model for riders stepping up from a 16-inch bike on private property. AMPD says ages 5 and up and rider heights of 110 to 125cm, with a 50kg maximum load.
Standout strength
A 65Nm motor, dual suspension and hydraulic disc brakes on 18-inch wheels, with three speed modes of 15, 22 and 30 km/h plus parental controls.
The main compromise
Run time is short, about an hour or 15km from the 36V 5Ah battery, and 30 km/h in Sport mode needs close supervision.
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
Keep it in the lower modes until your child is confident, check the 110 to 125cm height range, and ride on private property only.

Common questions
How much does the AMPD Bros EVO Racing 18 cost in Australia?
The AMPD Bros EVO Racing 18 is listed at $1,999 (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 18 road legal in Australia?
Not as a bicycle. The AMPD Bros EVO Racing 18 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 18?
The AMPD Bros EVO Racing 18 has a claimed range of about 15 km from its 180Wh 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 18 have?
The AMPD Bros EVO Racing 18 uses a Rear hub (brand not published) motor, in a rear hub position, producing 65Nm 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 18 weigh?
The AMPD Bros EVO Racing 18 weighs about 26.6 kg as listed. Plan transport around a trailer, ramp or van.
Who sells and backs the AMPD Bros EVO Racing 18 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.
