Is it for you?

Riders who want a stable, low-step fat-tyre cruiser that can carry a second passenger around town.
Standout strength
A 960Wh Samsung battery quoting up to 200km of range, well above most bikes at this price.

At around 36kg with 20 inch fat tyres it is heavy and slow-rolling, better for cruising than quick commuting.

What is the range of the SmartMotion Renegade?
The SmartMotion Renegade 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 Renegade have?
The SmartMotion Renegade uses a SmartMotion rear hub motor, in a rear hub position, producing 90Nm of torque.
How much does the SmartMotion Renegade weigh?
The SmartMotion Renegade 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 Renegade 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.
