AmpX Australia

AmpX Australia and its electric bike conversion kits

AmpX Australia is an Australian supplier specialising in conversion kits that turn conventional bikes into electric bikes. Its catalogue is organised into eight power tiers ranging from 250 W to 5000 W, with voltage options including 72 V in the higher tiers. The company presents itself as a direct-sales alternative, with no middlemen or waiting lists, and targets those who prefer to build their electric bike themselves.

Eight power tiers and reference prices

The catalogue is structured into eight tiers with published starting prices and availability listed as in stock. Each tier combines power, top speed and motor torque:

• Tier 01: 5000 W, up to 100 km/h and 200 Nm of torque, from AUD 780.
• Tier 02: 3000 W, up to 90 km/h and 150 Nm, from AUD 680.
• Tier 03: 2000 W, up to 80 km/h and 120 Nm, from AUD 540.
• Tier 04: 1500 W, up to 60 km/h and 95 Nm, from AUD 480.
• Tier 05: 1000 W, up to 45 km/h and 75 Nm, from AUD 440.
• Tier 06: 750 W, up to 35 km/h and 62 Nm, from AUD 420.
• Tier 07: 500 W, up to 30 km/h and 48 Nm, from AUD 400.
• Tier 08: 250 W, up to 25 km/h and 32 Nm, from AUD 380.

Tiers 01 and 02 are flagged as the most popular. The company states that the advertised power levels match the real ones and that it publishes data such as BMS ratings, cell brands and component dimensions.

Components and how the system works

The kits are sold as complete packages that include the motor, adapters, wiring and warranty. The company claims that most users can have the system running the same afternoon they buy it, with an average installation time stated at 47 minutes. In addition to conversion kits, the catalogue includes batteries and accessories, and offers the option to buy complete kits. The company says its products are specified for Australian conditions, with summers reaching 35 degrees, steep inclines and dirt roads.

Shipping, warranty and customer service

AmpX Australia offers free express shipping within 5 to 8 days Australia-wide and a two-year warranty. The site also mentions a standard shipping option of 15 to 20 days. Customer service is handled via email at sunny@ampx.com.au, with hours Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm (AEST).

VIP programme and user community

The company runs a subscription programme called VIP Inner Circle, which it says has 800 members. This programme offers launch pricing, early access to new power tiers and members-only pricing on complete kits. The company also shares content generated by its user community, with more than 850 verified conversions and an average rating of five stars. The published testimonials come from verified buyers in various parts of Australia, such as Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia, and describe uses ranging from urban and university commuting to beach, gravel, mountain and rural tasks.
