ADR approved — the RFN you can actually register and ride on the road
The ARES Endurance Road is the only road-legal bike in the RFN range. It is Australian ADR approved, which means it can be registered and ridden on public roads rather than being confined to private property. For anyone who wants one electric bike that commutes during the week and explores fire trails on the weekend, this is the one.
Registration: ADR approval makes the bike eligible for registration, but the process, cost and licence class are handled by your state transport authority and vary between states. Check your state's requirements before purchase.

Gearing — read this before you order

It can be optioned to a 58T or 48T sprocket for up to 80 km/h, at the cost of some torque. Which you want depends on whether you're mostly commuting on open roads or riding loaded and off-tarmac.

Why electric on the road
No fuel, no oil changes, no exhaust, no engine noise. Running costs come down to electricity, tyres, chain and brakes. For a commuter that's a substantial saving over a petrol equivalent, and you can charge at home overnight.
