Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders who want the cheapest way into an Earth hardtail for paths, gravel and light trails.
Standout strength
A hardtail with a 60Nm rear hub, a 500Wh battery and hydraulic brakes, at the entry price of Earth's trail range.
The main compromise
A rear-hub drive on a trail bike lacks the climbing feel of a mid-drive.
Consider something else if
You want mid-drive climbing torque, where the PRIME S Hardtail steps up.
Check before you buy
Confirm tyres and frame suit your terrain, and consider the dual-battery option.

Common questions
How much does the Earth REX Hard-Tail cost in Australia?
The Earth REX Hard-Tail is listed at $2,790 (ride-away (incl GST)). eBikeFinder checks pricing against manufacturer and distributor information, and prices can change with sales and stock. This price was last checked on 2026-09-22.
Is the Earth REX Hard-Tail road legal in Australia?
Yes. The Earth REX Hard-Tail 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. Compliance is asserted by the brand rather than independently verified, so confirm the current spec with the seller.
What is the range of the Earth REX Hard-Tail?
The Earth REX Hard-Tail has a claimed range of 40 to 70 km from its 500Wh 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 Earth REX Hard-Tail have?
The Earth REX Hard-Tail uses a EARTH 60Nm rear hub motor, in a rear hub position, producing 60Nm of torque.
How much does the Earth REX Hard-Tail weigh?
The Earth REX Hard-Tail weighs about 27 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 Earth REX Hard-Tail in Australia?
The Earth range is distributed in Australia by Earth Electric Bikes. Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
