I am very happy with my new bamboo direct drive board. I was so glad to be able to chat with the staff at Ampd Brothers who patiently answered my questions before I made my choice of board. It was good to receive, old fashioned service. I also made a mistake with an accessory, and without question, the guys refunded me. Top job, i look forward to dealing with them again. Thanks

I’m new to skateboarding, but purchasing the Vortex Bamboo with the cloud and all-terrain wheels have made this experience unbelievable. I also brought the front and rear lights, a must have accessory for these amazing boards. My next purchase is the Vortex Carbon (direct drive)

Thank You Amp’d Brothers, an absolute life and game changer for me being a Harley Davidson Rider

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Product

    What wheels are included?

    All our boards include different Wheels as Standard so be sure to check the specifications.

    However all our boards can be optioned with 6" All Terrain Pneumatic wheels OR 120mm All Terrain Cloud OR 115mm Rubber wheels! Simply select the option you'd prefer for your ride! 

    We recommend Rubber 115mm wheels for Direct Drive Boards and All Terrains for Belt Drive Boards for the ultimate board combination.

    Does changing wheels effect range?

    As a general rule of thumb...

    Larger Wheels Eg. 120mm = Faster Max Speed & Less Range / Distance on Charge

    Smaller Wheels Eg. 97mm = SlowerMax Speed& More Range / Distance on Charge

    Remember when you change wheels to also adjust your boards wheel size settings in your remote.

    Whats the benefits of Direct Drive?

    DD Motors are affixed to the boards axle where the wheel mounts onto the side of the motor. They provide super smooth yet crisp delivery of performance and are the ultimate motor for everyday cruising or street carving. Direct Drive Motors are virtually maintenance free, plus are extremely efficient and super silent given they produce no loud belt noises and are fast becoming the motor of choice.

    Key Benefits

    • Incredibly Efficient & Smooth 
    • Very Quiet & Low Sound Output
    • Low Maintenance
    • Ideal for Cruising and Carving

    Downfalls

    • Motor clearance on smaller wheels isn't ideal, although motor protective covers are easily replaceable and in-expensive.

    Whats the benefits of Belt Drive?

    BD Motors are mounted off the back of the boards axle (and in some cases off the front) which then drive a belt via a pulley that adapts to the wheel allowing more ability to change gearing variations to alter the performance, torque or range characteristics depending on the type of wheels and tooth of adapters used. Thanks to this gearing the motors will provide phenomenal amounts of torque and acceleration comfortably. 

    Key Benefits

    • Ultimate in Torque & Acceleration
    • Excellent Heat Dissipation
    • Ideal for All Terrain Capability

    Downfalls

    • Can be quite loud and noisey 
    • Require's more tuning and maintenance of belt tensions etc

    What comes in the Board box?

    Shipping

    How does my bike come delivered?

    All our E-Bikes come securely boxed and are shipped 80% assembled and do require some assembly. Should you need assistance you can checkout our YouTube for assembly videos or you can also refer to a store near you for bike builds and service.

    How long will it take to receive my order?

    Standard shipping normally takes 3-5 days. Express shipping is available on all small domestic orders (for an additional charge). 

    Bulky freight such as E-Bikes will typically take substantially longer to deliver as more manual handling is required so with this in mind on average to most major cities is approx a 5-10day's. For more rural areas, NT, WA or TAS you could expect to see 14 days or more for your order to arrive.

    International shipping times depend on the products and destination.

    How much is shipping?

    Completely Free within Australia on all our Boards! For international quotes please contact us.
