Common questions
How much does the Smartmotion F20 cost in Australia?
The Smartmotion F20 is listed at $2,999 (Price at smartmotionbikes.com.au). eBikeFinder checks pricing against manufacturer and distributor information, and prices can change with sales and stock. This price was last checked on 26 Sep 2026.
Is the Smartmotion F20 road legal in Australia?
Yes. The Smartmotion F20 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 Smartmotion F20?
The Smartmotion F20 has a claimed range of about 200 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 Smartmotion F20 have?
The Smartmotion F20 uses a Smartmotion 48V rear hub motor, in a rear hub position, producing 80Nm of torque.
How much does the Smartmotion F20 weigh?
The Smartmotion F20 weighs about 36 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 Smartmotion F20 in Australia?
The Smartmotion range is distributed in Australia by Ride Electric (Gold Coast). Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
