*Terms and Conditions apply.
New South Wales
Stamp Duty was abolished from 1 September 2021 until 31 December 2023. Initially electric motorbikes & scooters were not included in the scheme however Fonz Moto lobbied the government and the decision was overturned.
While there are no further exemptions available today, FONZ motors being 0cc means the registration costs sit in the lower motor displacement category, and therefore registration is lower than most bikes
Queensland
Electric motorcycles and electric scooters pay reduced stamp duty of $2 per $100 compared to up to $4 per $100 for more polluting vehicles. Learn more.
