Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders wanting an affordable Sur-Ron alternative for trails and private land.
Standout strength
72V, 6.5kW peak and 260Nm for around $5,000.
The main compromise
Range claim is at a gentle 25 km/h average, and dealer support is limited.
Consider something else if
You need a road-legal e-bike. This is an off-road motorbike; look at the compliant bikes in the directory instead.
Check before you buy
Confirm where you can legally ride it (private land or a registered off-road park), and who handles warranty and parts in your state.

Common questions
How much does the Rawrr Mantis X cost in Australia?
The Rawrr Mantis X is listed at $5,100 (Sale price at Potent Pig (QLD); RRP $5,250.). eBikeFinder checks pricing against manufacturer and distributor information, and prices can change with sales and stock. This price was last checked on 9 Oct 2026.
Is the Rawrr Mantis X road legal in Australia?
Not as a bicycle. The Rawrr Mantis X 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 Rawrr Mantis X?
The Rawrr Mantis X has a claimed range of about 100 km from its 2160Wh 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 Rawrr Mantis X have?
The Rawrr Mantis X uses a Rawrr motor, 3kW rated motor, in a mid-drive position, producing 260Nm 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 Rawrr Mantis X weigh?
The Rawrr Mantis X weighs about 63 kg as listed. Plan transport around a trailer, ramp or van.
Who sells and backs the Rawrr Mantis X in Australia?
The Rawrr range is distributed in Australia by Potent Pig (Yarrabilba QLD). Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
