An electric scrambler bike has the look of a classic dirt bike, with a long seat, wide tyres and a moto-style frame, but the convenience of an electric bike: no petrol, no clutch and a battery you can charge at home. It is a style choice as much as a transport choice, and it is one of the fastest-growing categories among riders who want something different from a standard commuter or a race-style motocross bike.
This guide compares three bikes from the Electric Dirt Bike Australia range using the real specifications on each product page: the Super73-RX Mojave, the Super73-S2 Adventure and, as an off-road alternative, the ACE-X Demon S5. We explain what each is good at, where it can be ridden and what to check before you buy.
What makes an electric scrambler bike different?
A scrambler is a retro-styled motorbike built for mixed surfaces, with a wide seat, a high handlebar and chunky tyres. The electric version swaps the engine for a motor and a removable battery, so there is no exhaust, no fuel and almost no noise. The riding position is relaxed, the weight is low and the bikes are easy for most riders to handle.
That combination makes them popular for beach roads, fire trails, rural tracks and relaxed weekend rides. Many riders also choose them because they look so distinctive, and some call them among the coolest e-bikes on the road. Whether that is true is a matter of taste, but the style is certainly part of the appeal.

Cool e-bike or practical bike: what to check
A cool e-bike should still be a good bike. Check the battery watt-hours, the brake size, the suspension and the warranty, not only the styling. A scrambler with a 960 Wh battery and four-piston brakes is a serious machine, while a bike with a small battery and basic brakes may look the same but ride very differently.
Super73-RX Mojave: the trail-ready scrambler
The Super73-RX Mojave is described as a street and trail adventure bike with an inverted coil-spring fork, a rear piggyback coilover and GRZLY all-terrain tyres. It has a 2,000 W peak off-road motor, a 960 Wh removable battery, Magura four-piston hydraulic disc brakes, a 50+ km/h off-road top speed and a range of 65 to 120 km depending on the assist mode. See the maker's information at SUPER73.
Super73-RX Mojave Scrambler Electric Moto
Iconic street & trail adventure cruiser with inverted coil-spring fork, rear piggyback coilover, and GRZLY all-terrain tyres.
The off-road mode matters. The product listing refers to off-road performance, and riding at those speeds is for private property and designated off-road areas only. Check your state rules before using any bike on public roads or paths.
Super73-S2 Adventure: the sport cruiser
The Super73-S2 Adventure is a sport-cruiser with an aircraft-grade aluminium frame, an air-assisted suspension fork and a retro moto headlamp. It has a 2,000 W peak motor, a 960 Wh lithium-ion battery, a 45+ km/h top speed and up to 120 km of range in eco mode. At 33 kg it is easier to handle than most motorbikes.
Super73-S2 Adventure Series Moto Cruiser
Sport-cruiser electric motorbike with aircraft aluminium frame, air-assisted suspension fork, and retro moto headlamp.
It suits riders who want the scrambler look and a more road-friendly feel, but the same legal caution applies. Check how the bike is set up and what the rules are in your state before you ride on public land.
ACE-X Demon S5: the off-road alternative
If you like the idea of a moto-styled fat tyre bike but want pedals and a more bicycle-like frame, look at the ACE-X Demon S5. It has a 1,000 W motor, a 52V 25Ah battery, 95 Nm of torque, dual front and rear suspension, four-piston hydraulic brakes with 203 mm rotors and a 180 kg maximum load. The listing says it is off-road only, and it comes with a two-year Ampd Bros warranty on adult e-bikes.
ACE-X Demon S5 Dual Electric Bike (52V 25Ah / 1,000W)
Ampd Bros fat tyre electric bike with 1,000W (off-road only), 52V 25Ah, range up to 100km.
Cruiser style: cruiser electric bikes and relaxed options
If a full scrambler feels like too much, the relaxed end of the market is worth a look. Many riders searching for ebikes cruiser options want a comfortable, upright bike for easy rides. Our beach and bay cruisers sit in that group, and you can compare them in our guide to electric bikes for cruising and in the cruiser e-bike comparison. The lowest-priced cruiser in our range is the Riptide 3 at $2,190, while a scrambler costs more and delivers more power.
Electric cruiser bikes Australia riders choose for comfort
Shoppers who type electric bikes cruiser into a search box usually want comfort first. Electric cruiser bikes Australia wide are built around comfort: a swept-back handlebar, a wide seat and a step-through or step-over frame. If you ride on flat paths, a cruiser may suit you better than a scrambler. If you ride on dirt, sand or gravel, the wider tyres and stronger suspension of a scrambler pay off.
Ladies electric cruiser bike options and cruiser ebikes
Shoppers often ask about a ladies electric cruiser bike, and cruiser ebikes in general come in both step-over and step-through frames. In our range, the Ampd cruisers come in step-through versions, such as the Riptide-S and Chubbie-S, which make mounting easier. Check the seat height and the rider limit on each product page and choose the frame that fits.
A scrambler buying checklist
Use this list before you pay for any scrambler or cool cruiser bike.
- Check the battery in watt-hours, not only volts.
- Check the brakes: four-piston calipers and large rotors suit heavier bikes.
- Check the weight and whether you can lift or load the bike.
- Check the legal setup and where each mode may be used.
- Check the warranty, the charger and how parts are supplied.
- Plan where you will charge and store the battery.
A cool cruiser bike that fails these checks is a poor buy, however good it looks.
Size and fit for scramblers
Scramblers are long and low, so the seat height and reach matter. Sit on the bike if you can, check you can put a foot down, and make sure your arms are slightly bent when you hold the bars. Taller riders may prefer the roomier Mojave, while shorter riders may prefer the lighter S2.
Where you can legally ride a scrambler
Where you can ride depends on the bike's setup and on state rules. Off-road modes with higher power are for private property and designated off-road areas only. Road and path rules vary by state, and the limits that apply to e-bikes are set by the state authority. For general guidance see our e-bike laws overview and the official pages for Queensland and Transport Victoria. The rules change, so always check the current version. A dirt bike is a different category with its own rules, so do not assume an e-bike scrambler follows the same ones.
Accessories and upgrades
Most scrambler riders add a few essentials: a good lock, a rear rack or bag, a helmet that suits the style and, for trail riding, hand guards and a bash plate. Check that any accessory fits your bike's mounting points and does not interfere with the battery or the wiring, and ask us on the contact page if you are unsure what suits your model.
Maintenance, charging and battery care
Scramblers are simple to look after. Keep tyres at the right pressure, check brake pads and rotors, lube the chain or belt and keep the bolts tight. Charge on a hard, dry surface away from anything flammable and use only the supplied charger. Battery University explains how to prolong lithium battery life, and the NSW Government's guidance on lithium-ion batteries and e-micromobility devices is a good safety reference.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a retro cruiser ebike, and is it the same as a scrambler?
A retro cruiser ebike is a comfortable, vintage-styled bike for relaxed riding. A scrambler is built more like a small dirt bike, with stronger suspension and wider tyres. They overlap, but scramblers like the Super73 bikes are more powerful and more expensive.
Is a cruiser ebike australia buyers choose good for the beach?
Yes, if it has wide enough tyres and you keep to firm sand. Fat tyre bikes float better in soft sand and are easier to control. See our fat tyre guide for the options, and rinse any bike with fresh water after a beach ride to protect the chain and bearings.
Are cruiser e bikes australia wide suitable for hills?
Many are, but check the motor torque and battery. The ACE-X Demon S5 lists 95 Nm of torque, and the Super73 bikes list 2,000 W peak power. Lower-powered cruisers cope with gentle hills but struggle on steep, long climbs.
Can I ride an electric scrambler bike on the road?
It depends on the bike's setup and your state's rules. High-power off-road modes are for private property and designated off-road areas only. Check with your state authority, and read the product page for the legal notes.
How much does an electric cruiser bike cost?
In our range, cruisers start at $2,190 for the Riptide 3 and scramblers start at $4,990 for the Super73-S2 Adventure. Paying with crypto or PayID takes 10% off at checkout, and orders over $1,500 ship free, so most of these bikes qualify for free freight.
