STEP THROUGH.
FLOAT AWAY.
The Raptor S takes the fat-tyre Raptor platform and drops the frame low. Same suspension, same easy power, none of the swing-your-leg-over hassle — built for whoever wants the comfortable way around.
Same DNA as the Raptor, built for anyone to ride
The Raptor S shares its fat-tyre stance and suspension with the standard Raptor, but swaps the high frame for a low step-through — so getting on and off is simple no matter what you're wearing or how flexible your hips are feeling. It's the more forgiving, more sociable half of the Raptor lineup: relaxed geometry, a long banana saddle built for two, and enough range to make a whole weekend out of it.
What's actually holding this ride together.
Eight parts we looked at closely while testing the step-through.
250W Rear Hub
50Nm of torque, tuned for smooth low-speed pulling power on hills and loaded rides.
48V 18Ah Battery
Samsung-cell pack with a smart BMS, sized so weekend rides don't mean weekend charging.
Front + Rear Suspension
A 100mm adjustable fork up front and a rear shock out back soak up the rough stuff.
Long Banana Saddle
A hand-finished PU saddle built long enough to share, and soft enough for the long way home.
Low Step-Through
Carbon steel frame dropped low, so mounting and dismounting is a non-event in any outfit.
20" x 4.0" Fat Tyres
Wide, cushioned rubber front and rear that shrugs off potholes, kerbs and gravel.
160mm Disc Brakes
Mechanical disc rotors front and rear for confident, consistent stopping power.
EN1519 Certified
Meets the pedal-assist standard for riding Australian roads and paths without a licence.
Float over everything
A 100mm adjustable front fork works with a rear suspension shock and wide, cushioned tyres to soak up potholes, kerbs and broken ground before they reach you. On test, the difference showed up most on the rough stuff — the kind of surface that usually has you white-knuckling the bars.
Ride all weekend on one charge
The oversized 48V 18Ah pack is sized so charging isn't something you plan around. Baicycles rates it up to 75km — in our testing, real-world rides landed closer to 45–60km depending on hills and how much throttle we used, which still covers a full weekend of mixed riding before it needs a plug.
Cushioned, coast to coast
The long, hand-finished saddle sits above the same front-and-rear suspension doing the hard work underneath — so potholes and kerb cuts fade out well before they reach you. It's the kind of setup that makes the longer route home feel like the better option, not the tiring one.
Step in, take off
The low step-through frame means there's no awkward leg-swing to get moving — just step through, whatever you're wearing, and go. Paired with the long, plush saddle, it's the easiest bike in the lineup to get on and one of the more comfortable ones to stay on.

Range and rider-height figures vary across the manufacturer's own listing (65–75km rated, 45–75km real-world reported); we've shown the range we found most consistent with independent riding conditions. As with any e-bike, actual figures depend on rider weight, terrain, tyre pressure and assist level used.
No licence. No fuss. Just ride.
The Raptor S is certified to EN1519 / EN 15194, the pedal-assist standard that lets it be ridden on Australian roads and shared paths without a motorcycle licence or registration. As with any e-bike, it's worth checking your state's local rules and riding with a helmet — Baicycles notes this is ultimately the rider's own responsibility.
The easy way
onto two wheels.
Real suspension, a genuinely comfortable saddle, and a frame anyone can step through — the Raptor S is the friendliest entry point into the Raptor lineup, and it's fully road-legal across Australia.
