Hunting eBikes – A Brief Introduction

Image: ©fissioncycles

To begin with, let’s quickly talk about what an electric hunting bike is and why you might want one.

They are different from other bikes, like an unpowered bike or a city bike, or even electric mountain bikes. Unlike regular ebikes an electric hunting bike is specifically designed and built to be used as a hunting tool.

Hunting eBikes have strong motors and batteries, a resilient and durable frame, powerful suspensions, and impressive brakes, and usually come with fat tires to give you extra traction on tough and rough terrain.

In other words, they’re the best electric bikes to maximize your hunting success.

What Is The Best Hunting eBike Under $2000?

Many of the best electric bikes for hunting come with a price tag of $5000 – $8000. That’s often due to the very powerful and expensive motors they’re using.

However, with a lot of experience in this industry and with a little bit of digging there are still some great quality hunting ebikes to be found that sell for $2000 or even less.

What’s important is that these electric bikes are strong and reliable workhorses that turn out to be reliable hunting buddies that can get you safely to and from your hunting spots.

In this article, I share with you my personal reviews and selection of the best hunting eBike under $2000.

Can You Finance Your Hunting eBike Under $2000?

Even though finding hunting ebikes under $2000 is already a fantastic bargain, not everybody has this amount of money just lying around.

Luckily, that’s not necessary to become the proud owner of a great hunting ebike.

With the advancement of electric bikes into the mainstream and the increase in popularity of hunting electric bikes in particular more and more (online) retailers have partnered up with financial institutions to offer new customers easy-to-handle installment plans.

If you’d like to learn more about how to finance your electric bike for hunting I have provided additional information at the end of this article in the “Frequently Asked Questions” section.

What You Need To Know Before Buying The Best Hunting eBike Under $2000

Image: ©Bakcou

Contrary to what some people believe a hunting eBike is not just a regular electric bike painted in “camo” paint. There’s actually much more to it than first meets the eye.

Electric hunting bikes are specifically designed and built with the toughest hunting requirements in mind.

This includes the ability to handle very rough and challenging off-road terrain with ease while also carrying a tremendous amount of weight without any difficulties.

How Is A Hunting eBike Different From A Regular eBike?

Image: ©Electric-Hunting-Bike

There’s a huge number of things that are different from a regular electric bike and often the differences are in the details that can have a big impact in your day-to-day practical use.

Overall, it’s not necessarily one main part that makes the difference. Rather, it’s the unique combination of different components all in one electric bike that makes a hunting ebike the tremendous workhorse and reliable hunting partner that it is. This includes:

• Stronger motor (usually among the most powerful of all the best electric bikes)
• Ride with pedal assistance or throttle only
• Lightweight but very strong frame (usually aluminum)
• Powerful mechanical disc brakes or hydraulic disc brakes
• Fat tires
• Front suspension
• Weight load: Carry up to 300 lbs of weight
• 3 wheels instead of 2 (sometimes)
• All wheel drive is available (sometimes)
• Walk-assist mode (sometimes)
• Build specifically for hunting, handling off-road terrain, carrying a lot of loads, fat tires, camo paint, etc.

What Are The Advantages Of A Hunting eBike?

Let’s look at some of the advantages of using a hunting eBike compared to other modes of hunting mobility.

A Hunting Ebike Increases Your Chances Of A Successful Hunt

Image: ©TechTrends

• With an electric hunting bike, you can travel faster than on foot so you can spend more time hunting. A hunting e-bike also lets you explore a greater area to find that perfect hunting opportunity.
• With an electric bike, you produce less of a scent trail than walking on foot since you’re sweating less and you have less contact with the ground. In other words, e bikes help you to stay undetected for longer and get much closer to your prey than ever before.
• With a hunting ebike you can also check your trail cameras in a fraction of the time it’d take you on foot.
• You travel almost silently and without producing fumes so compared to hunting with an ATV or UTV you’re chances of not spooking the animals are significantly increased.
• With an electric hunting bike you can access more remote backcountry that would have been too far to get to by foot or that’s not accessible by ATV or UTV.

An Electric Hunting Bike Takes the Strain Out Of The Hunting Experience

• You have the choice between walking on foot for many hours vs getting there quickly and effortlessly with an electric bike.
• Carrying a lot of hunting gear on foot or riding a human-powered bicycle can be very difficult, especially on muddy or slippery terrain. Instead, you can move your gear quickly and effortlessly with an electric hunting bike.
• With a hunting eBike, you can also recover your hunt in one single trip rather than spending a tremendous amount of time and energy recovering it piece by piece.

An Electric Bike For Hunting Makes The Hunt Safer

In the unfortunate event of an injury or other emergency, an electric hunting bike can still get you back home.

A Hunting Ebike Lets You Hunt For Longer

With a hunting e-bike hunters can continue enjoying the hunting lifestyle they otherwise couldn’t due to age or health and mobility issues.

An Electric Bike Provides Added Peace Of Mind

Image: ©Bakcou

When you use an electric bike for hunting your loved ones feel reassured that you will get home safely, giving them that extra peace of mind they crave.

An Electric Hunting Bike Saves You Money

Even the best electric bikes for hunting are cheaper than ATVs or UTVs.

They’re also much easier to transport and don’t require additional investments such as a trailer or an extra garage.

What To Consider When Buying An Electric Hunting Bike

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes

Not all electric bikes for hunting are equal. They differ greatly in their ability to handle difficult terrain, especially inclines and declines. They also differ widely in their range and speed but not so much in their load capacity.

You should consider how you intend to use your new hunting eBike.

• Do you only get from the drop-off point to and from your deer blind?
• Do you move around a lot scouting for game or following a herd?
• Do you need to check your trail cameras regularly?

This will determine which features are most important for you.

What To Look For When Buying An Electric Hunting Bike

The motor is the most important factor you should consider when buying a hunting eBike. It determines the strength of your eBike and how well it can go up and down steep terrain.

The motor is also the most costly part of your eBike and a more valuable engine translates into a higher purchase price.

Most important here is the placement of the motor. There are basically 3 different types of motors you can choose from:

• a hub motor (usually a rear hub motor),
• a mid drive motor and
• an ultra-mid-drive motor.

Some manufacturers also offer an all-wheel drive system but that only applies to a small number of electric hunting bikes.

A rear hub motor drives the ebike by turning the back wheel, effectively pushing the bike forward from “behind”.

Mid drive motors are located more or less in the middle of the bike close to where the pedals are. The mid drive motor works with sensors that detect how strongly the rider is pedaling and then match the power output accordingly.

The Ultra Mid Drive motor is probably the most advanced (and therefore also most expensive) type of motor. It has even more sensors than the mid drive motor allowing for an even more natural feeling riding experience.

A powerful high-torque motor also requires capable brakes. Usually, you can choose between fat bikes with hydraulic or mechanical brakes.

Most electric bikes also offer a removable battery, and a pedal assist function and the best electric bikes even feature good front suspension for a smooth ride. Front and rear lights or front and rear fenders are also often optional.

Pay attention to the battery capacity so you can achieve a decent range with your particular riding style.

Legal Aspects To Consider When Buying An Electric Hunting Bike

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes

Ebike regulation is kind of a complex issue. Every state has the authority to come up with its own rules and many did.

However, many public lands are governed by local authorities or the national forest department of the public land bureau. Each of these organizations also has come up with its own rules.

Finally, often local governments have been empowered to override state laws for their specific areas or specific parts of the land. As a result, it’s almost impossible to give a general rule other than when in doubt check with your local authority.

Legality is an important aspect and one you always need to clarify before buying your hunting ebike.

How We Made Our Selection Of The Best Hunting eBike Under $2000

Image: ©Outdoor Zone

While I’ve been a bike enthusiast and cyclist for my entire life and while we do have a few electric bikes in our family I can’t claim that I have personally tested every single ebike out there (and I think probably no one can make such a claim).

So, to a certain degree, I had to rely on feedback from other hunters who had actual personal experience using a specific hunting ebike in the field.

I also got direct feedback from hunters who shared their experiences with electric hunting bikes on popular forums, sites like Reddit, Facebook groups, and other places where hunters hang out.

In addition, I studied real-world reviews published on YouTube and other websites and read manufacturers’ websites and their claims as well as online retailer websites and their claims, too.

It’s one thing to have personal experience using a specific hunting ebike and just tell you which parts I liked and which parts I didn’t like.

But it’s another and completely different thing to be able to objectively assess and compare different hunting electric bikes from different manufacturers providing an unbiased opinion about their quality and performance.

So, a large part of my work involved getting quite knowledgeable about the technical specifications of the motor and the battery and how they influence the performance of a hunting ebike in a particular way.

Finally, I want to emphasize that my research and this review are not focused on finding cheap electric bikes but rather THE best electric bikes for your budget. I am looking for great value for money. I’m looking for the best hunting ebike under $2000 that’s built with quality and endurance in mind and that delivers real value to the hunter.

Best Hunting eBike Under $2000 – My Selection

Now that you know what to look out for and what questions to ask, let’s dive into our selection of the best hunting ebike under $2000.

RadRover 6 Plus

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes

The RadRover 6 Plus electric hunting bike is a true multi-terrain ebike.

It’s a very versatile allrounder that’s great for hunting, fishing, camping, and off-road riding in general. But it’s also great for commuters, night cruisers, and recreational riders.

It can carry up to 275 lbs of weight and comes as a high-step or step-through model.

This all-weather ebike comes as a step over and a step through model. RAD Power Bikes recommends the step over model for riders with a height of 5’4” – 6’2″. The step through model is recommended for riders with a height of 5’2” – 6’2″.

The Motor

It features a strong 750 W rear hub motor that feels stronger than the RadRover 5 Plus.

If you’ve been on the RadRover 5 Plus you might notice how the RadRover 6 Plus lines up nicely with your pedal stroke.

There seems to be no delay between pedaling and the motor kicking in as can be the case in some other electric bikes with rear hub motors. As a result, the RadRover 6 Plus provides a more natural feeling riding experience when the pedal-assist mode is activated.

For a more in-depth review please read my RadRover 6 Plus review.

Hill Climbing Capabilities

When tested on a 15-degree incline the RadRover Plus 6 performed well and showed itself to be an excellent hill climber.

This is partly due to the 7 gears system hooked up to the 42-tooth chainring.

Combined with the 750 W motor you can maintain good speed when riding on even surfaces as well as when riding up hills.

Throttle

The powerful motor is controlled via a grip twist throttle on the handlebar. It’s easy to handle and allows for great fine-tuning of the power received from the motor.

Gearing

The 7-speed Shimano drivetrain works very well and allows for good cadence. Shifting with the 7-speed Shimano Acera is crisp and smooth which helps avoid putting too much stress on the motor.

The gearing is controlled via a very nice 7-speed thumb shifter.

Battery

The RadRover 6 Plus comes with a 48 V 14 Ah battery. This gives you a total of 672 Wh. Assuming that one mile consumes 20 Wh of energy you have a calculated maximum range on a single battery charge of 33.6 miles.

Of course, as I always mention, your actual mileage depends on many different factors and will probably be different.

ElectricBikeReport has tested the range in their electric bike review with the following results:

• With the highest level of pedal assist: 28.47 miles and an average speed 18.3 mph
• With the lowest level of pedal assist: 50.49 miles and an average speed 10.7 mph

They conclude that you should be able to get at least 25 miles and more out of a single battery charge, which is pretty awesome.

What’s new on the RadRover 6 Plus is also the semi integration of the battery into the frame. The more compact sleek battery pack can now easily be clipped into the bike frame. This semi-integration of the battery into the frame certainly looks very cool.

Pedal Assist Modes (1-5)

The RadRover 6 Plus electric hunting bike comes with 5 different pedal-assist modes for you to choose from depending on how much work you want to do yourself and how much support you want from this hunting ebike.

Overall, the different modes seem well-calibrated and all riding modes feel safe.

Brakes

I really like the brakes on the RadRover 6 Plus. They bite really hard.

This hunting ebike can go fast and it’s also slightly heavier so I think having hydraulic brakes on such a powerful e bike makes perfect sense.

Please note that due to supply chain issues the regular nut hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors at the front and rear might not be available when you order your new RadRover 6 Plus. However, RadRover assures customers that they will only use brakes of at least the same quality and performance.

Suspension

To make riding across rough terrain more comfortable the RadRover 6 Plus comes with a capable front suspension fork.

This new suspension fork has 60 mm travel which is less travel than the previous model (80 mm). However, somehow this seems to work better and give a better riding experience.

Tires

Like most other electric hunting bikes on this list, the RadRover 6 Plus comes with fat tires that add more stability to this e bike.

The RadRover 6 Plus will move you safely to and from your tree stand in any weather conditions. The durable 26” x 4″ fat tires are puncture-resistant and provide for great traction across challenging terrain.

Fat tires also allow for a wide array of air pressures to accommodate different terrain and riding conditions. You might want to have them harder for on-road riding and slightly softer for off-road riding or a “cushier” feeling.

Cockpit

I love the cockpit of the RadRover 6 Plus. I especially like the dual display which is mounted to the handlebar. It allows you to see more info at once which I find is very useful.

However, the smaller display could be a little bit lighter or brighter to make it more readable in sunny conditions.

Handlebar

The handlebar is nice and wide (700 mm) and reminds me a bit of a mountain bike. It definitely helps a lot with feeling balanced and stable.

It has a 4-inch rise/sweep which helps to keep the hunter in an upright riding position and looking forward. I found this really helps to keep the neck and lower back in a better position, too.

Legal

The RadRover 6 Plus comes as a Class 2 ebike

What I Don’t Like

I think the RadRover 6 Plus is an awesome machine that offers fantastic value for money.

If I had to make any suggestions it would be to make the second LCD display on the handlebar brighter so it’s easier to read on a sunny day.

I personally also don’t like grip twist throttles and I would change it to a thumb throttle. That’s just my personal preference because when you are walking with the e bike next to you it’s quite easy to accidentally twist the grip and have the motor kick in.

However, not everybody has that problem and apart from these 2 issues, I think the RadRover Plus is an amazing deal.

Verdict

If you’re looking for a versatile and reliable electric hunting bike backed by a reputable American company with strong customer service the RadRover 6 Plus might be the best hunting ebike under $2000 for your needs.

Himiway Zebra

Image: ©himiwaybike

The Himiway Zebra electric hunting bike is the updated version of the Himiway Cruiser.

It comes in 2 styles as a regular step-over or, if you don’t want or cannot lift your legs that high as a step through electric bike, making the getting on and getting off process much easier.

Himiway recommends the Zebra for riders with a height between 5’2 ~ 6’2 or 5’1 ~ 6’2 respectively.

The Himiway Zebra has a powerful 750 W geared rear hub motor. It’s an awesome ebike that will get you to your destination across flat and moderately challenging terrain with no problems.

What makes this electric hunting bike very special is its overall load capacity. The Himiway Zebra lets you carry an incredible 400 lbs which is more than many of its top-priced competitors. It’s also more than enough to carry a hunter, the gear, and the hunt in any situation I can think of.

Compared to the Cruiser, Himiway has added an extremely strong and solid rear rack to the bike, perfect for carrying bulkier items. It’s the perfect bike if you need to carry heavy loads that other electric hunting bikes cannot handle.

This electric hunting bike is aptly named “Zebra” because in the wild the zebra has even more stamina than the cheetah, the world’s fastest animal. That’s reflected in an amazing maximum range of 80 miles on a single battery charge with pedal assistance or 60 miles when riding only using the electric motor.

Keeping in mind that range as claimed by the manufacturer is often only achievable in “ideal” condition, the Himiway Zebra is a great electric hunting bike if you want to scout larger areas of wilderness and backcountry.

However, as you know, how much range you will get out of this battery depends on many different factors such as the overall weight you’re carrying or hauling including your body weight, the type of terrain you are riding on, the wind condition, your average riding speed, etc.

The battery has 48 V and 20 Ah which equals an impressive 960 Wh which makes a range of 30-50 miles on a single charge a realistic expectation.

The Zebra comes with all the necessary equipment, such as great hydraulic brakes, a strong aluminum frame with a total weight of only 79 lbs, a comfortable saddle, and good suspension. Everything you need to handle difficult and rough terrain head on and all part of the reason why we consider the Himiway Zebra one of the best electric bike for hunting under $2000.

The battery is securely locked to prevent theft but it can easily be removed when unlocked.

It has 26’’ fat tires for great traction when off road riding and a 7-speed Shimano gearing system to give you greater control over the power you need in any given situation.

What’s really great is that Himiway has upgraded the braking system with hydraulic disc brakes, giving the hunter more confidence when tackling steep descents.

The pedals have small spikes to avoid slipping.

Himiway has also added an additional headlight at the front and every time you use the brakes the red light at the rear gets activated.

The Himiway Zebra comes with a 2-year warranty and a 15-day money-back guarantee (at the time of writing this review).

Verdict

If you are looking for an electric hunting bike that can carry up to 400 lbs of weight while also giving you an amazing range the Himiway Zebra might be the best hunting ebike under $2000 for you.

Quietkat Pioneer

Image: ©QuietKat

QuietKat is one of the leading manufacturers of Premium electric hunting bikes.

While most of their hunting ebikes demand a much higher price tag due to their outstanding quality and specifications, the QuietKat Pioneer falls within the $2000 budget range.

It’s a great entry-level e-bike for passionate hunters who are serious about improving their hunting game.

The QuietKat Pioneer comes with a 500 W motor which is smaller than most other electric hunting bikes but it also comes with the high built quality customers all over the world have come to love and expect from any QuietKat electric hunting bike.

If you’re able and willing to pay slightly more you can get the QuietKat Pioneer also with a 750 W motor. However, for this review, I’ll focus on the 500 W motor.

The QuietKat Pioneer is definitely an all-rounder that performs well on your daily commute as well as your off road excursions. It can easily handle moderately difficult terrain and hills as long as they’re not too steep.

The 48 V battery has 9.6 Ah which translates into almost 461 Wh, enough for a range of approximately 12 – 20 miles realistically, depending on the weight you carry, the terrain, the wind conditions, and a whole lot of other factors.

The QuietKat Pioneer provides exceptional value for money but the savings have to come from somewhere, right?

The QuietKat Pioneer comes in 1 size only (18’’) and features a single-speed drive, i.e. it has one mechanical gear that doesn’t shift. Like most things in life, that has advantages and disadvantages.

A single-drive ebike requires less maintenance because there are fewer parts (no derailleur, no hub gearing, etc) that can break or go wrong. Because of that, it’s also lighter than geared electric hunting bikes, making transportation easier to handle.

With a single-drive hunting ebike, the riding speed is set by how quickly or slowly you pedal.

For a budget of $2000 you’ll get an amazing entry-level all-terrain electric hunting bike that will definitely put a smile on your face.

Verdict

If you are looking for an entry-level electric hunting bike that’s easy to transport and that can get you to and from your hunting grounds without any complications the QuietKat Pioneer might be the best hunting ebike under $2000 for you.

RadRunner Plus

Image: ©Nick Linnen

The RadRunner Plus is another great electric hunting bike by RAD Power Bikes that made it onto this list of the best hunting ebike under $2000.

It started out as a hybrid electric utility bike but thanks to its very functional design and high built quality it has proven itself to be a great hunting companion as well.

Keep on reading to find out why. For a more comprehensive review please read my RadRunner Plus review.

I like the fact that the RadRunner Plus is an extremely versatile bike that you can use for your hunting adventures but also for your camping trips, fishing trips, mountain trails, or even your daily commute.

It features a great retro moped-style frame and vintage look that’s sure to turn some heads.

But don’t be fooled by its sleek appearance. The RadRunner Plus is definitely a workhorse to reckon with.

Powered by a 750 W geared hub motor that’s actually engineered by RAD itself the RadRunner Plus is quite an impressive hill climber.

With 80 Nm of torque, a 7-speed drivetrain, and a load capacity of 300 lbs this nimble electric hunting bike can definitely deliver you and all your hunting gear safely and effortlessly to your preferred hunting destination.

This is even more impressive considering that most of the premium electric hunting bikes on the market cannot carry more than 300 lbs either.

Riding the RadRunner Plus across some rough terrain is also no problem thanks to a durable front-suspension fork that absorbs much of the vibration.

You can also customize the RadRunner Plus with a whole range of accessories including different racks, baskets, pannier bags, and a very useful center console to make it the best electric hunting bike for your needs.

The battery of the RadRunner Plus provides 672 Wh which is enough for a range of approximately 33.6 miles (if 1 mile consumes 20 Wh).

The motor is controlled with a half twist throttle and a backlit LCD display lets you monitor the bike’s performance with a

• charge indicator,
• speedometer,
• odometer,
• trip odometer,
• pedal assist level indicator,
• wattmeter,
• and more.

Verdict

If you’re looking for an electric hunting bike that offers exceptional value for money and outstanding customer service provided by a reputable and well-established American company then the RadRunner Plus could be the best hunting ebike under $2000 for you.

Emojo Lynx Pro 750

Image: ©emojobike

The Emojo Lynx Pro 750 is not your usual electric hunting bike. As a matter of fact, it’s not really a hunting ebike at all. However, due to its outstanding performance features (it ticks all the boxes) I have included it on this list.

The Emojo Lynx Pro 750 is a foldable electric hunting bike which makes transporting it in your car an absolute breeze. Unfolded it measures 67 L x 24 W x 45 H. Folded up it only measures 39 L x 18 W x 26 H.

This ebike is an outstanding allrounder. It’s perfect for your daily commute, to run errands, or go off-roading.

It has an outstanding power-to-weight ratio. A beginner-friendly 750 W rear hub motor powers a sturdy aluminum frame bike that only weighs 55 lbs including the battery. It’s thrilling to experience the raw power when riding it.

It has a sturdy rear rack and can carry a total load of up to 230 lbs.

With a 48 V/10.4 Ah e bike battery this electric hunting bike has 499.2 Wh which translates into a maximum range of approx 20 – 30 miles (with a rider of average weight across not-too-challenging terrain).

The Emojo Lynx Pro 750 has a top speed of 20 mph and can be easily brought to a standstill using the dual Tektro mechanical disc brakes in the front and rear.

One drawback of the Emojo Lynx Pro 750 is the lack of any suspension. However, it’s fitted with fat tires (4.0 R 20 Kenda) that are low pressure (30 psi) that help absorb a lot of that bounce when riding off-road.

It also has a 7-speed Shimano Altus gearing system which gives you more control to tackle many different terrains.

It has pedal assistance as well as a throttle mode allowing you to comfortably ride on paved roads or off road paths.

Verdict

For a very reasonable price tag the Emojo Lynx Pro 750 delivers outstanding performance and if you’re looking for a beginner-friendly ebike that can take you off road as well as to work the Emojo Lynx Pro 750 might be the best hunting ebike under $2000 for you.

Emojo Wildcat Pro

Image: ©emojobike

The Emojo Wildcat Pro is a solid fat tire bike that was originally built more like a mountain bike.

With a reliable Bafang motor of either 500 W or 750 W and like some of the best electric mountain bikes it can handle moderate hills and performs well on loose ground and sand.

The solid aluminum frame has an impressive 330 lbs load capacity which makes it a great option for your hunting trips.

You can use the Emojo Wildcat Pro also as a commuter bike since even with the 750 W motor it is still regarded as a class 2 ebike which means in many jurisdictions it doesn’t require licensing or registration.

The 48 V / 10.4 Ah battery produces 499.2 Watt hours which is enough to cover 20 – 30 miles on a single battery charge.

The 750 W model is equipped with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes that allow you to tackle ascents and descents alike. The 500 W model comes with Tektro front and rear mechanical disc brakes that can be upgraded to hydraulic disc brakes if you want to.

The Emojo Wildcat Pro doesn’t come with front-end suspensions but those can be fitted at a later stage.

The main drawback for me is that the Emojo Wildcat Pro doesn’t come with the rear rack pre-installed. You need to buy one separately for approximately 60 bucks and then install it yourself or have someone do it for you. It’s not a major effort but it would have been nice to have it pre-installed in my opinion.

Verdict

If you are looking for an awesome electric hunting bike that you can also use for your daily commute or just to go on a family outing the Emojo Wildcat Pro could be the best hunting ebike under $2000 for you.

The Rooster 750 20 Rambo Bike

Image: ©rambobikes

The Rooster 750 20 Rambo is an amazing electric hunting bike. It’s built with quality components and it would have achieved a higher ranking if it wasn’t for a couple of, what I’d call, drawbacks. Keep on reading to learn what I mean by that.

The Rooster features a 750 W Bafang rear hub motor with an impressive 80 Nm of torque.

The 48 V battery has 14 Ah which translates into 672 Wh, enough for a range of approx. 30 – 35 miles without pedaling on even ground.

The Rooster weighs 61 lbs and has a load capacity of 300 lbs which makes it easier to carry all your hunting gear.

The first “drawback” of the Rooster 750 20 is the fact that it comes in only a single size with a 17″ medium-sized frame and a stand-over height of 16.5″. This makes it a great electric hunting bike for shorter riders but not for taller ones especially since the handlebar can not be height adjusted.

The Rooster is a step through electric bike which accommodates hunters with less flexibility or other mobility issues.

The second drawback of the Rooster 750 20 is the absence of any gearing. This makes it more suitable for easier terrains without hills.

The Rooster is a great all-rounder ebike for hunting but also for camping, a ride to the beach, or through town.

Since the Rooster is equipped with a rigid fork you’ll have to rely on the Kenda Krusade 20” x 4.0” fat tires to cushion your ride.

Who Should Buy The Rooster 750 20 By Rambo Bikes?

The Rooster 750 20 by Rambo Bikes is a perfect electric hunting bike for a beginner rider who is shorter and wants an ebike that can be used in many different situations.

The lack of gears is actually a benefit for a beginner rider since there’s less to learn and to take care of. There’s also less that can break and so the Rooster 750 20 is more forgiving which is great news for an ebike rider that’s still in the e-learning process.

Verdict

If you are looking for an electric hunting bike for shorter riders with less experience that need a simple yet reliable hunting companion the Rooster 750 20 by Rambo Bikes could be the best hunting ebike under $2000 for your needs.

RadExpand 5

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes

The RadExpand 5 by RAD Power Bikes is another electric folding bike that made it onto this list of best hunting ebike under $2000. Keep on reading to discover why. For a more exhaustive look please read my RadExpand 5 review.

The RadExpand 5 is designed for easy transportation and storage in smaller spaces such as an RV or an SUV, for example. However, despite its compact design it’s a true workhorse that’s ready for your next hunting adventure.

Like the other electric hunting bikes by RAD Power Bikes on this list, the RadExpand 5 is powered by the same RAD engineered 750 W geared hub motor that has proven itself in countless hunting trips through the wilderness.

With 4 levels of low-profile cadence sensing pedal assist levels combined with the 7-Speed MicroShift RD-M26 derailleur you can adjust the power level to tackle difficult terrains head on.

The RadExpand 5 hunting ebike also features a battery with 672 Wh giving you a theoretical range of 33.6 miles (if 1 mile consumes 20 Wh). That’s an impressive feast considering the more attractive price point of this ride.

Like the RadRover 6 Plus, the RadExpand 5 has a load capacity of 275 lbs which is at the lower end of the spectrum compared to many other electric hunting bikes. However, I think it’s still a very strong number especially for a foldable electric hunting bike.

Unlike some other electric bikes for hunting, the RadExpand 5 comes with a very capable rear rack already included.

The RadExpand 5 off-road electric bike also comes equipped with fat tires that’ll help you tackle rough terrain.

The motor is controlled via a half twist grip throttle and Rad Power Bikes’ custom LED display keeps you updated on your overall performance thanks to a

• charge indicator,
• pedal assist level indicator,
• error display,
• headlight/taillight indicator,
• and more.

I also like the fact that the adjustable riser bar allows you to personalize the fit of the handlebars to match your body measurements for maximum comfort.

The RadExpand 5 hunting electric bike weighs only 62.5 lbs (the battery alone weighs 7.7 lbs) for easy transportation.

RAD Power Bikes recommends the RadExpand 5 for hunters with a height of 4’10” – 5’10”.

Verdict

If you are looking for a folding electric hunting bike that’s light weight, easy to transport and easy to store the RadExpand 5 might be the best hunting ebike under $2000 for you.

The Cruiser Rambo Bike

Image: ©rambobikes

Hunters require different things from their electric bike for hunting than someone who is using their ebike only for their daily commute, for example.

What I like about the Cruiser 500 W by Rambo Bikes is that this electric hunting bike was built specifically as an entry-level hunting ebike. If you’ve used ebikes before on the road and you’re now looking to harness the power of electric bikes also for your hunting trips the Cruiser is perfect for you.

It’s a powerful mid drive bike with a 500 W motor from TruckRun. Everything else being equal, a mid drive electric hunting bike performs better on steep hills than a hub motor eBike.

With a peak power output of 750 W, the Cruiser will be of great help when you’re pedaling to climb those hills.

The lithium-ion battery has 48 V and 10.4 Ah which translates into 499.2 Wh. Assuming an average power consumption of 20 Wh per mile, this powerful battery gives you a maximum range of 20 – 25 miles on a single battery charge if you were riding this beast without pedaling at all.

And if you ride in the pedal-assist mode instead of full-throttle you can extend your range very significantly.

If you’re a deer hunter, for example, the Cruiser is perfect to get you to your viewpoint without alarming the deer. You can quickly travel the few miles from your truck to the stand in stealth mode. Without producing that typical rhythmical sound that humans produce when walking, traveling to your deer stand on the Cruiser won’t alarm the nearby deer.

And with a load capacity of 300 lbs recovering your hunt in one single trip is a feast (pun intended) with the Cruiser.

Verdict

If you want a mid drive electric hunting bike that can carry you and all you hunting gear reliably to and from your preferred hunting locations while also being an efficient hill climber the Rambo Cruiser could be the best hunting ebike under $2000 for your needs.

RadRunner 2

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes

“Jack of all Trades” that’s how RAD Power Bikes describes the RadRunner 2 electric hunting bike. This very versatile hunting ebike was originally designed as a utility cargo eBike. It’s extremely well thought out and very, very functional.

For starters, the RadRunner 2 hunting electric bike is a surprisingly good hill climber.

It has a 750 W geared hub motor and features 4 levels of pedal assist.

If you need to stop urgently or want to descend a steeper slope you can rely on the powerful TEKTRO mechanical disc brakes at both the front and the rear wheel. Both have a 180 mm rotor installed. I like these brakes because they can easily be fine-tuned, which as you might know is of utmost importance when it comes to technical brake efficiency.

RAD also made a good choice when it comes to the tires of the RadRunner 2 electric hunting bike. They’ve chosen Kendra fat tires that have some really good off-road capabilities in terms of traction and puncture resistance.

Given that the RadRunner 2 is a rigid hunting eBike, i.e. it has no suspension, the fat tires also serve as air cushions to make off-road riding that much more comfortable.

The cushioned moped-style seat also helps to further improve the ride quality over very rugged terrain.

The RadRunner 2 comes as a single-speed hunting electric bike.

A drivetrain with 52 tooth at the front ring and a 16 tooth cog in the rear provide for a comfortable and easy riding experience comparable to a middle-of-the-range type of gear setting.

Handling the RadRunner 2 electric hunting bike feels very easy with the wide aluminum handlebar and the ergonomically shaped rubber grips.

A basic but functional LED display gives you access to all necessary functions and information.

Despite its very attractive price tag, the RadRunner 2 hunting bike can carry a total weight of up to 300 lbs. That’s comparable to the maximum load capacity of some of the most premium (and most costly) electric hunting bikes on the market.

Unlike many of its higher-priced peers, the RadRunner 2 hunting electric bike even comes with an integrated rear rack that’s perfectly fitted into the sturdy frame of the eBike. Because it’s supported by the frame it can actually handle a substantial payload.

When it comes to range the RadRunner 2 also does not disappoint. With its 48 V 14 Ah battery and a total of 672 Wh you get a theoretical range of 33.6 miles.

ElectricBikeReport even achieved a range of 46.65 miles in Pedal Assist level 2. You can learn more in my detailed RadRunner 2 review.

The RadRunner 2 has a top speed of 20 mph and weighs a total of 65 lbs. which is very similar to many other good-quality electric hunting bikes.

In terms of frame size, the RadRunner 2 hunting electric bike is available in a frame size of 18” with a Stand Over Height of 16.5”.

According to RAD Power Bikes the RadRunner 2 is perfect for hunters that measure between 4’11 – 6’2 in height with an InSeam in the range of 26.75” – 37”.

If you want to test the RadRunner 2 to find out if it’s right for your needs RAD Power Bikes makes that possible with their “14-day Free Trial “ offer (at the time of writing this review).

Verdict

If you want a very functional and strong electric hunting bike that also offers a very good range the RadRunner 2 by RAD Power Bikes could be the best hunting ebike under $2000 for you.

Fission Cycles FM

Image: ©fissioncycles

I have included the Fission Cycle FM 750 in this list even though it’s now priced slightly above $2000. However, I think it’s quite an impressive bike that you might be interested in. It would have achieved a higher ranking if it had a lower price point.

The Fission Cycle FM 750 is a neat and fully equipped compact electric hunting bike. It comes with a pretty powerful 750 W rear hub motor capable of handling moderate to slightly more advanced trails.

It’s a great all-rounder ebike perfect if you intend to use it not just for hunting but also to go fishing, grocery shopping, or commuting to work.

It’s classified as a Class 2 electric bike which means it’s street-legal in many jurisdictions.

The battery has 48 V and 14 AH which equals a total of 672 Wh, enough for a range of approximately 30 miles on flat land on a single charge.

Of course, it comes with fat tires that are puncture resistant tires (which I personally like a lot).

Tektro mechanical disc brakes at the front and rear wheel stop this hunting ebike whenever you need to.

The 8-gear Shimano gearing system is controlled by a twist shifter at the handlebar. Combined with the 5-levels pedal assist you have excellent control over the raw power that this motor can deliver. This makes tackling even more challenging terrain much easier and more satisfying.

Unlike some other hunting electric bikes on this list, the Fission Cycles FM 750 has strong suspensions at the front fork making long rides over bumpy terrain much more comfortable.

Verdict

If you’re looking for an electric hunting bike with front suspension and a capable motor and gearing setup that can get the job done, the Fission Cycle FM 750 could be the best hunting ebike for you even though it’s currently not available under $2000.

How To Finance Your Best Hunting eBike Under $2000

Buying a hunting ebike under $2000 is a significant investment and one that most people probably don’t make lightly. Not everybody has $2000 laying around waiting to be spent.

Many hard-working people would probably prefer to spread the investment over a long period of time resulting in smaller more manageable monthly payments.

Advantages Of Financing

Luckily, the e bike industry has evolved enough that large financial institutions and payment processors such as PayPal are willing to offer financing programs for the purchase of electric hunting bikes.

Dealing with smaller monthly installments instead of one bigger lump sum payment can make the difference between affordable and unaffordable.

Financing Options

While your local brick and mortar e bike dealership might not be able to offer you any financing options, most online retailers do.

Pay a small deposit first and then small monthly installments. You might even find some offers with 0% interest. Amazing, right?

Financing Process

When purchasing online, just proceed as normal by adding the hunting ebike of your dreams to your shopping cart.

Then on the checkout page select one of the financing partner companies such as

• PayPal,
• Klarna,
• QuadPay,

for example.

Once you’re approved you’re done and your hunting ebike will be shipped to you immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Best Hunting eBike Under $2000

I hope I’ve covered most of the important aspects that will help you to find the best hunting ebike under $2000 for your unique requirements.

But, there might be other questions I haven’t answered yet and I will try to do that in this section.

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions.

Can You Drag A Deer With An Electric Bike?

The short answer is “Yes, you can”.

Of course, it all depends on the individual circumstances and the type of e bike you’re using.

To drag a deer I’d definitely recommend using an electric hunting bike.

Electric hunting bikes are specifically designed and built with the hunter in mind. They are true workhorses that can make it extremely easy to recover your hunt through challenging terrain in one single trip. That’s exactly what they were invented for.

You can purchase a special trailer made for your specific hunting ebike which is perfect for recovering your hunt if you’re a big game hunter.

How Much Weight Can An eBike Pull?

Hunting electric bikes are specifically designed to help you carry a lot of gear or recover your big game hunt.

They are no strangers to heavy cargo and most of them can certainly pull 300 lbs across difficult off-road terrain.

What’s great is that even with a heavy load on your trailer a good electric hunting bike still lets you safely descend even steeper hills.

Some models even feature a “walk-assist” mode if you feel more comfortable tackling a challenging terrain on foot while the electric motor does most of the heavy lifting for you.

It’s really a win-win situation.

Why do eBikes Have Weight Limits?

All electric bikes have weight limits, i.e. a limit as to how much weight they can carry.

However, many of the best electric bikes for hunting have a load capacity of up to 300 lbs and more.

That means these hunting e bikes can easily handle a person and all the gear they carry in their pack as long as the combined weight doesn’t exceed the overall load capacity.

That’s important because the overall weight an eBike carries affects the bike’s performance, especially when it comes to braking.

Carrying too much weight can make any bike more sluggish and difficult to handle. It can also increase the length necessary for the ebike to come to a complete standstill if needed.

Finally, too much weight can also damage the ebike or some of its components over time.

What Electric Hunting Bike Accessories Are Available And Necessary?

• Front Luggage Rack
• Rear Luggage Rack
• Saddle Accessory Bag
• Additional Bike Light
• Cargo Trailer
• Home Tool Kit
• Phone Mount
• Saddle for more comfort

The post Uncover The Best Hunting Ebike Under $2000 To Set Out On An Epic Hunt – Compare The TOP 11 first appeared on Electric Hunting Bike.

We start by looking at the benefits of using an electric bike in general and an electric dirt bike in particular for hunting.

We discuss what you should be looking for when buying an electric dirt bike for hunting.

We also talk in detail about our favorite electric dirt bike for hunting: the Delfast Top 3.0 and the latest release the Delfast TOP 3.0i.

Why Use An Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting?

Image: ©Bakcou

Why should you even consider using a dirt bike and an electric one for that matter on your next hunt?

What does an electric dirt bike bring to the hunting table that makes it a compelling choice?

Benefits Of Using An Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting

Let’s look at some of the advantages that an electric dirt bike gives you, the hunter.

Electric Hunting Bikes Get You Closer To Your Prey

Image: ©Bakcou

One big plus of an electric bike is its extremely low sound emission.

Being almost completely silent, an electric dirt bike allows you, the hunter, to get yourself into the perfect position.

If you are on a scouting mission this is extremely helpful to conceal your movement and avoid spooking the animal, isn’t it?

When hunting elk on an electric dirt bike, this also comes in very handy. You can actually hear them calling while you’re riding. And since elks can move around a lot being able to cover lots of ground while scouting them can be a big advantage when trying to find your elk.

Electric Hunting Bikes Give You Better Ambush Success

Image: ©BowhuntingRoad

Unlike gasoline-based vehicles, electric dirt bikes don’t produce any smoke or fumes that could give you away and alert the animals before you even arrive which can have a big impact on the success of any hunting trip.

It’s also very beneficial when you are checking your trail cameras and you want to be in and out as quickly as possible without leaving any scent trail.

Electric Hunting Bikes Give You Access To Better Hunting Grounds

Image: ©Outdoor Zone

With an electric dirt bike, it’s much easier to access even more remote and challenging hunting locations.

Electric Hunting Bikes Dominate Rough Terrain

Image: ©Bakcou

An electric dirt bike for hunting enables you to get deep into rough terrain without getting slowed down.

A whole plethora of different terrains such as gravel, dirt, fallen brushes, mud, and even steep hills now become easily maneuverable.

An Electric Hunting Bike Carries Your Gear For You

Image: ©Outdoor Zone

With an electric dirt bike, you can haul a tremendous amount of hunting gear without any problems.

In addition to a trailer, you can even add gun/bow holders and other tie-downs to make your job easier.

An Electric Hunting Bike Moves You More Quickly

Image: ©Bakcou

With an electric dirt bike for hunting you can also move around more quickly and navigate any rough terrain to find that perfect hunting spot or follow that moving herd.

An Electric Hunting Bike Lets You Cover More Distance

In addition to speed, an electric dirt bike also allows you to cover much more hunting ground which in turn can increase your chances of success significantly.

An Electric Hunting Bike Carries Your Hunt For You

After a successful hunt, an electric dirt bike helps you easily pull along your game, for example.

Just imagine how amazing it will feel when you recover your hunt in ONE single trip with ease and subsequently spend more time with your loved ones enjoying a good meal after your success.

An Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting Is Easy To Transport

Compared to their gasoline-powered counterparts electric dirt bikes for hunting are lightweight and portable and surprisingly easy to store and bring along.

An Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting Is Easy To Maintain

They’re also much easier to maintain compared to gasoline-based modes of transport. A proper wash and a recharge are usually all that’s required to prepare for your next trip.

An Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting Can Save You Money

If all of that wasn’t enough already, an electric dirt bike for hunting is also more affordable than your average 3 or 4-wheeler which is kind of like the icing on the cake, isn’t it?

An Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting Is Just More Fun

It’s just great fun to go on the hunt with such a formidable machine. It’s definitely a cool ride that makes you look pretty cool, too.

In addition, it’s kind of multi-purpose because you can also take your electric dirt bike for a spin when you’re not hunting.

How awesome is that?

How Is An Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting Better Than A Quad, Side-by-Side, Or Other ATV?

Image: ©Bakcou

We have already discussed some of the advantages of using an electric dirt bike for hunting vs a regular electric bike or a human-powered bicycle. But what are the differences between an electric dirt bike and a quad bike or an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) for hunting?

And the answer is: “That depends”.

Each mode of transportation has its strengths and weaknesses and it largely depends on the intended use case as to which one is the more suitable option.

Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting Vs ATVs

Image: ©Pexels.com

ATVs are an excellent choice if you need to carry a lot of weight or a lot of bulky items or both.

They’re also great if you want to ride for an extended range (I’m talking around 120 miles (or maybe more) on a single tank) or need powerful acceleration.

However, since they’re gasoline-powered engines they emit a lot of noise and fumes which will make it almost impossible to stalk your prey without being detected. It also puts more pressure on the environment.

ATVs can also be a potential fire hazard due to possible fuel leaks.

They’re also more expensive than an electric dirt bike for hunting and offer only limited capabilities for carrying additional passengers.

Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting Vs UTVs

Image: ©Pexels.com

Side-by-sides or “utility task vehicles” (UTVs) have their own merits as well.

If you’re looking for a vehicle that can get you to faraway places (I’m talking 150 miles on a single tank) then look no further: the side-by-side is for you.

With a spare tank of fuel, you can stretch the horizon even further.

What’s more, you can easily invite some of your hunting buddies and still have enough room for all of your hunting gear as well.

No matter where you’re heading, a side-by-side can get you through mud or snow and if you fit a heater or air-conditioning you can even do it in comfort and style.

On the downside, side-by-sides are not that agile. Due to their size, they won’t be able to access as many narrow trails as an electric bike can, for example.

Just like UTVs, side-by-sides suffer from the main drawbacks of noise and fume emissions which, of course, are not ideal for hunting, aren’t they?

And then there is the higher price point and the potential risk of fuel leaks and even fires.

So Should You Consider Using An Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting?

Image: ©Bakcou

In summary, electric dirt bikes for hunting, quad bikes/ATVs, and side-by-sides/UTVs all have their advantages and disadvantages depending on what your specific hunting requirements are.

At the end of the day, you need to decide for yourself, which mode of transportation will give you the most benefits on your hunting trips and the most bang for your buck.

Have fun!

Best Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting Buying Guide

Image: ©Bakcou

Let’s look at some of the most important factors to consider when choosing the best electric dirt bike for hunting that’s perfect for your needs.

The important components of any electric dirt bike that can impact your hunting experience are:

1. The Motor
2. The Battery
3. The Frame
4. The Tires.

In your evaluation we recommend you consider the following aspects:

The Motor Of The Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting

The motor is the most important and most impressive component of your electric hunting bike. It determines the strength and/or power of the electric bike and its ability to get you in and out of the wilderness without any problems.

This includes the maximum speed of the hunting ebike and its pulling power (how much weight can it carry and pull).

This also includes how steep the electric hunting bike can go, and what pitch and slope in terrain it can handle.

Most electric bikes for hunting come with either a hub motor or a mid drive motor. The former is usually located in the rear wheel turning your bike into a rear wheel drive. Mid drive motors, on the other hand, are located in the middle of the bike near the pedals.

Some hunting ebikes feature an ultra mid drive motor, like the Bafang Ultra motor, for example, which is a mid drive motor with additional sensors.

A hub motor is considered a reliable source of power while mid drive motors are generally considered great at hill climbing. Ultra mid drive electric bikes are considered to be even more powerful and even better at climbing hills than their mid drive counterparts.

A hub motor is often the cheapest option while mid drive motors usually demand a higher price. However, an ultra mid drive motor is probably the most expensive motor available on the market today. It gives you the most natural feeling ride experience but many of the best electric bikes deliver superior performances with the other 2 motor types, too.

A small number of premium electric hunting bikes feature dual hub motors. These bikes have a rear hub and a front hub motor which makes them twice as powerful. This can seriously improve their off road capabilities while also putting some pressure on the battery life.

The Battery Of Hunting Ebikes

Image: ©delfastbikes.com

Having a strong motor also requires a strong battery that can provide enough energy for a long enough period. Many brands feature a frame integrated battery. Ultra mid drive bikes or those with dual hub motors often come with dual batteries as a power source.

While dual batteries offer twice the energy they usually also come with a higher price tag.

You should pay attention to the range of the bike’s battery, i.e. how many miles can you ride on a single battery charge. Make sure this matches your hunting requirements.

The charge-ability of the battery, i.e. how long does it take to fully recharge the battery, and the expected battery life, i.e. how many charging cycles can you expect to get out of the battery over its overall lifetime are two more aspects to consider, too.

The Frame Of Electric Hunting Bikes

The frame is another important component of an electric hunting bike. It plays a pivotal role in the overall quality, durability, and longevity of the electric dirt bike.

The frame has to be strong enough to handle the forces generated by the powerful motor and when riding off road across rugged terrain. It also has to be able to carry and pull a tremendous amount of weight while being light enough to be transported easily.

Make sure the load capacity or weight limit of the electric dirt bike can handle your body weight plus your hunting gear and the rest of your cargo. Knowing the maximum weight capacity of your bike is important because exceeding the weight limit might severely damage the motor which is a scenario you want to avoid.

Often, a big bike has more load capacity but there are exceptions.

Many of the best electric bikes come with a rear rack to allow you to carry more gear and even bulkier items on your ride. Often, the bike rack is included in the base price. However, sometimes you need to add the rear rack to your order for an additional charge, so it’s worth paying attention to that.

The dimensions of the electric hunting bike are also important and need to match or be suitable for the rider’s dimensions. Know your body height and leg length and follow manufacturers’ recommendations to find a comfortable electric hunting bike that you’ll enjoy riding for a very long time to come.

The Tires Of Hunting Ebikes

Image: ©Bakcou

Most electric hunting bikes are fat tire bikes.

Fat tires offer more grip and stability when riding off-road compared to regular tires. They enable the electric bike to perform well on many types of surfaces and rugged terrain.

Due to their cushioning effect fat tires also contribute to a smoother riding experience.

However, fat tires are not the only option. Electric dirt bikes often feature motorcycle tires that also offer great grip and maneuverability on different terrains.

Some of the best electric hunting bikes even offer puncture resistant tires or at least fat tires made from thick enough rubber to withstand minor punctures.

How Reliable Is An Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting

One of the big advantages of electric hunting bikes is their reliability. The electric motor is known to rarely break down and to be very easy to maintain. With proper care, an electric bike can be your best friend for 10 years or longer.

However, just like any other man-made mode of transportation, parts that are objected to normal wear and tear such as the brake pads or tires need to be monitored and if necessary replaced when needed.

General Usability Or Manageability

Image: ©Bakcou

Different types of electric bikes require different initial learning curves.

If you’re already familiar with riding bicycles or maybe even mountain bikes you should have no problems getting on an electric bike.

However, if you’re a complete beginner I’d recommend an electric hunting bike with a rear hub motor to get you started. Once you’re familiar with it you can consider a hunting ebike with a mid drive motor. After that, you might consider even more powerful ultra mid drive or dual hub motors.

Rear hub motors are more forgiving and easier to handle while a mid drive bike requires the hunter to be on top of his or her game at all times to avoid damage to the bike.

Hub motors are good for riding across flat land while the other motor types are usually better for climbing steep hills.

Most bikes have a pedal assist function while some also include a walk assist mode.

The former lets you save on battery power and often lets you pedal your bike should the motor stop working, e.g. when the battery is empty.

The walk assist mode is very useful when you encounter challenging terrain and you prefer to walk with your bike.

Riding ebikes should be fun. Therefore, you should also consider these questions when making your selection:

• How easy or difficult is the electric dirt bike to handle?
• What is the ride experience like and how comfortable is the e-bike to ride?
• How good are the suspensions? Do they provide a smooth ride?
• How balanced does it feel?

The Manoeuvrability

Here are a few questions you might want to ask yourself during your selection process:

1. How agile is the electric dirt bike, especially on a narrow and winding path or down some tight trails?
2. How easy is it to handle and maneuver on a straight path or around some tight corner?
3. Does it allow for a comfortable ride even through harsh terrain and when carrying a heavy load?

How To Transport Your Electric Hunting Bike

Image: ©Outdoor Zone

If you want to bring your electric dirt bike on many hunting trips (and you probably will) that process should be easy and simple.

The heavier and chunkier your electric dirt bike is the more difficult and cumbersome its transportation to your preferred hunting grounds.

So, you should pay attention to the overall weight of your electric bike as well as its dimensions.

The Safety Of Your Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting

Safety is, of course, an important aspect when it comes to hunting.

This includes the safety of the ride, and the safety of the rider but it also includes things like theft protection as well as.

Different electric bikes have different types of brakes such as mechanical disc brakes or hydraulic brakes. Both are fine but I prefer hydraulic brakes as they usually require less maintenance.

Regenerative braking is often a topic of discussion among electric bike enthusiasts but for me, the technology is not well enough developed yet to make a meaningful contribution to any hunting trip. As a result, I prefer electric bikes without regenerative braking at this point.

Lighting is also an important safety feature but you can always equip your electric hunting bike with additional lights at any time, so it’s not a differentiating factor in my opinion.

Guarantees

This one is self-explanatory, isn’t it?

What guarantees does the manufacturer provide for the electric bicycle and/or some of its components?

The Price Of An Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting

The price is an important factor but so is the price-performance relation, i.e. the value for money.

Is The Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting eBike Law Compliant?

Image: ©Outdoor Zone

Depending on the jurisdiction where you want to use your new electric dirt bike for hunting or riding on dirt trails, different rules might apply.

Ebike laws are developing and sometimes changing quite quickly with more and more trails and paths becoming available to eBike riders. However, you should always inform yourself upfront about the legal requirements in your area.

This includes the very important question, on which types of trails and paths you can ride your electric dirt bike for hunting legally depending on whether your bike is classified as a bicycle or as a motorized vehicle.

This also includes questions like:

• Is the electric dirt bike street legal and does it require licensing or insurance etc.?
• How about helmet and safety vest requirements or age restrictions?
• What regulations does the Bureau of Land Management have for electric bikes?

Upgradability And Customization Options

While I’d recommend you start with the stock model to gain some experience first it is good to know what upgrades you could make further down the road (pun intended).

Knowing this before you commit gives you extra flexibility once you’re more familiar with and more experienced in using an electric dirt bike for hunting.

The Aesthetics Of The Best Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting

When buying an electric dirt bike, you obviously have certain expectations regarding the look and feel of the bike, right?

Electric or not, a dirt bike has to look cool.

Other Bells And Whistles

You might want to consider any other features that you get for your money that I haven’t included above. The more accessories that are included in the base price the lower your overall investment will be.

Overall Customer Experience With The Best Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting

Deciding on and purchasing a great electric dirt bike for hunting is one thing.

However, you also want to have peace of mind that your purchase is backed by a professional team that supports you every step of the way.

Not all electric bikes are manufactured in the United States so it’s worth inquiring about the dealer support structure should there be any issue after your purchase.

What Other Hunters Are Saying About Electric Dirt Bikes For Hunting

Learning from others who have already done what you’re planning to do is a great way to avoid disappointment.

I’d recommend listening to the feedback of fellow hunters who have already got practical hands-on experience in hunting with a specific electric dirt bike.

What’s more, the Delfast Top 3.0i can easily be customized to fit your specific hunting needs and we look at some of the very useful accessories further down in this post.

You’ll Enjoy A Performance That’s Second To None

At the heart of every electric hunting bike is the engine, i.e. the motor and the battery. They’re what gives the eBike its bite, its speed, its range, and its pulling power.

The battery and the motor are a big reason why we consider the Delfast Top 3.0i the best electric dirt bike for hunting. It’s pure power and strength.

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

With a 72V 60A (4,320 W) controller and a 72V 48Ah (3,456 Wh) battery (yes, you read that right: this battery is gigantic which is fantastic), you have a true workhorse at your disposal.

Compare that to many other e-bikes that come with a 400-500 Wh battery, or less. Even for DIY setups, you’d have problems finding an off-the-shelf battery with more than 1000 Wh. This electric bike comes with 3000 Wh, which is absolutely awesome, isn’t it?

This powerful battery comes with its own battery management system which provides greater current flow.

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

The rear hub motor is capable of producing up to 14000 watts of power and accelerating 3000W, withstanding its peak load of 6000W (in ideal conditions). This rear hub, back wheel drive beast can climb hills, carry a heavy load and reach a top speed that other bikes can only dream of.

While the eBike controller is secured in a protective casing, the carbon belt drive transmission delivers optimal performance.

This setup delivers a peak torque of 182 Nm and an incredibly high maximum speed of 50 mph (80 kph).

I can’t think of many scenarios where you might need to get to or from your deer blind that quickly but it just provides extra peace of mind knowing that you can, should things suddenly change and you find yourself in a tight spot with the need for extra speed.

Under ideal conditions, the Delfast Top 3.0 electric bike has been shown to cover a distance of 321 km (about 200 miles) on a single charge.

However, that test was done riding the bike at an average speed of 15.7 mph probably with a very light rider. When you’re going full-throttle or when you’re carrying a lot of heavy stuff you might see a sudden voltage sag and you should expect your maximum range at maximum speed to be more like 40 miles on a single charge (which compared to other electric hunting bikes is still fantastic).

So, depending on your average speed and the weight you’re carrying expect your maximum range to be somewhere between 40 – 200 miles.

This is about five times more range than most e-bikes can offer and probably more than enough range for the average hunting trip but it’s just good to know that you have that capacity to get you back home safely should the need suddenly arise, isn’t it?

The battery is guaranteed for up to 500 charging cycles which gives you a minimum of an estimated 100,000 miles of awesomeness. However, the battery might actually last up to 3000 cycles which is an absolutely incredible number.

This electric dirt bike for hunting comes with 3 different speed modes for you to choose from depending on your needs at the time.

1. Speed mode 1 “Limited”: 750 W, 15 mph max
2. Speed mode 2 “Eco”: 750 W, 20 mph
3. Speed mode 3 “Unlimited”: 3000 W, 50 mph

The Delfast Top 3.0 eBike also has 3 different driving modes giving you a great amount of control:

• Driving mode 1: Pedal Only
• Driving mode 2: Pedal Assist
• Driving mode 3: Full-throttle

Depending on your location and jurisdiction, the Delfast Top 3.0 eBike is being shipped to you as a street-legal Class 2 electric bike with a validation sticker.

However, to be considered a Class 2 e-bike, you must ride it in Limited or Eco Mode and put it into Throttle Driving Mode.

A Great Allrounder

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

While we’re mainly focusing on how the Delfast Top 3.0i can complement your life as a hunter, it’s good to know that this electric bike can do so much more.

I found the Delfast Top 3.0 eBike to be a fantastic all-rounder, built to last and to impress and comfortable on all types of terrain and in any season.

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

Top 3.0 performs great off road, on trails, and on rural countryside roads. With its powerful pedal-assist mode, you can easily handle any hilly or mountain-like terrain giving the Delfast high cross-country ability regardless of whether you’re on a hunting trip or just hitting a dirt trail for fun.

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

The Delfast Top 3.0i comes with standard moto tires which handle well on pavement and off-road terrains. However, you might want to choose the optional Dirtcross tires that are superior on trails and for pure off-road riding.

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

What’s more, the Top 3.0 is just as comfortable and reliable when commuting or traveling around the city.

When shipped, the e-bike is set to power up to 750 W and travel up to 20 mph. If you want to take it off road, and off paved city streets, you can unleash its full power in “Unlimited Mode”.

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

The Delfast is a good choice if you want to buy a fast e-bike with lots of range and ride it often and also on the road.

It’s an electric dirt bike for hunting that gives you a tremendous amount of bang for your buck.

You’ll Look And Feel Cool On This Awesome Ride

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

Unlike other electric hunting bikes, the Delfast Top 3.0i looks more like a dirt bike.

It just looks amazing and as cool as you’d expect a dirt bike to look. It certainly evokes the confidence that it can dominate any type of terrain you throw at it, just like its gasoline-powered counterpart.

Its great aerodynamic design is complemented by a lot of attention to detail.

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

The high front fork suspension, for example, allows for sufficient standing height complemented by the 2 stylish mirrors on the handlebars.

The latest Delfast Top 3.0i eBike is upgraded with a KKE front fork, with a 203 mm stroke, which gives you the sense of a true motorcycle ride.

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

In addition, even the high front fender and the over-the-wheel rear fender complete the classic dirt bike style and look.

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

The standard seat of the Delfast Top 3.0i is good enough for most use cases but when primarily riding off-road you might want to opt for the moto seat which is definitely the more comfortable solution when your hunting trip leads you over rough terrain.

Feel Safe At All Times With Some Great Safety Features

The Brakes

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

The Delfast Top 3.0 eBike is equipped with high-performance hydraulic disc brakes that provide more powerful and effortless braking.

The latest model Delfast Top 3.0i eBike even comes with regenerative braking (since April 2022).

• The brakes have been upgraded to hydraulic disc brakes with a 203 mm disc on each wheel. So there’s no overheating while stopping the e-bike at high speed.

You can relax knowing that you can bring your ride to a halt, at any moment – no matter what.

The Delfast App

With the Delfast App, you get additional safety features.

• A visual indicator that alerts you if you’re accidentally speeding.
• Weather alerts help you avoid slick road conditions.

Theft Protection

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

The Delfast Top 3.0 eBike has a great bike alarm system providing security no matter where the road takes you.

The latest model, the Delfast Top 3.0i eBike also comes equipped with a bike alarm silent mode option (since April 2022) and an immobilizer that locks the bike’s motor (since April 2022).

For convenience, you can even use the Delfast App to lock and unlock your bike or arm and disable your bike alarm.

Accessories And Customization For The Perfect Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting

Since you might not be able to store all of your gear in your pack, the Delfast Top 3.0 and Delfast Top 3.0i come with the option to add more storage capacity by using Delfast’s original accessories.

Side Boxes

Image: ©delfastbikes.com

Top of my list and probably the easiest and most straightforward solution are Deflast’s premium side boxes.

They come in 2 types: as standard side boxes made from plastic and as more durable yet lightweight premium side boxes. You can even have them customized if you wanted to but I think Delfast already came up with a very convincing design.

Image: ©delfastbikes.com

These large cargo storage units can be attached to and removed from the Delfast Top eBike easily without any complications.

They’re the perfect addition to store smaller items that you don’t want to carry on your back such as sidearms or your field glasses and binocs, for example.

Trailer

Image: ©delfastbikes.com

Should you find yourself needing still more cargo storage space you can add Delfast’s foldable cargo trailer.

The trailer is attached to your electric hunting bike with a special mount allowing you to take it with you as you traverse even the most difficult and demanding terrains.

Image: ©delfastbikes.com

And, since it’s foldable, it won’t take up too much space on your truck bed either.

Other Bells And Whistles

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

The Delfast Top 3.0i has a lot of accessories already included in the stock version that can greatly help you traverse safely and more enjoyably to and from your blind or tree stand.

• Hands-free handlebar-mounted phone/navigation holder
• Enduro 2.75-19 motorcycle tires / (Moto, 19’’ Dirt Cross) take you over any terrain
• Proprietary built-in 3G GPS navigation system (no sim card) accessible via Delfast App
• Reliable Bluetooth connection with off-grid
• New onboard computer (since April 2022)
• Wi-fi backup that controls the bike when off-grid (since April 2022)
• Track total mileage, odometer, and speedometer metrics via Delfast App
• Monitor bike power via Delfast App
• 24-Hour Chat via Delfast App

If you want to use your electric dirt bike not just for hunting and off road riding but also on paved roads Delfast has you covered as well with these great features:

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

LED high and low beam headlights, and LED brake lights.

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

Dual front LED turn signals (located on mirrors) and rear turn signals.

Image: ©Delfast

Quick start push ON/OFF button.

With all these capabilities it’s clear to see why we think the Delfast Top 3.0(i) is the best electric dirt bike for hunting, isn’t it?

In addition, you can even purchase a spare set of tires with your new electric hunting bike to be prepared should things go south as they sometimes do, right?

Best Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting – What Else You Need To Know

Image: ©Dr. Drones Media

Electric bikes in general and electric dirt bikes for hunting in particular are still a relatively new phenomenon as they’ve only started to grow in popularity over the last few years and legislation is also still in its infancy.

In some states, electric bikes are regulated as bicycles while other states regard them as motorized vehicles. Many laws can be quite vague and you should always familiarize yourself with the laws of the specific area where you’re planning to use the Delfast Top 3.0i.

In some areas, for example, no e-bike usage is allowed, period. And you don’t want to spend your money only to end up having problems with law enforcement, right?

In some jurisdictions, you can only use hunting ebikes with motors up to 750 W on public land. Many jurisdictions also limit electric bikes to top speeds of 20 mph with pedal-assist, or 28 mph without pedal assist.

In those jurisdictions, you would have to ride the Delfast Top 3.0i only in Speed Mode 1 “Limited” (750 W, 15 mph max) or Speed Mode 2 “Eco” (750 W, 20 mph).

Furthermore, the Delfast Top 3.0i is not a lite bike. With a weight of around 150 pounds, it’s quite heavy to lift in and out of your truck.

But that’s not the only issue.

Some laws protect trails from bikes that weigh more than 100 pounds so it’s good to figure out the rules in the area where you want to hunt, isn’t it?

Best Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting – What Do Other Hunters Say?

Image: ©Electric Vehicle Channel

Here are some quotes from owners of the Delfast Top electric dirt bike for hunting.

The Good

1. “Overall Delfast is good. Expect a very long wait between the time you order and when it arrives on your doorstep. Slow to communicate manufacture updates but a legit product. A true test of patience.”
2. “Very fast and powerful can replace a car if living in the city.”
3. “Charge time is reasonable and a full charge lasts for multiple trips.”
4. “Good built-in security system!”
5. “Likely to get questions from people every time you bring it out in public. A real head-turner.”

The Bad

1. “The stock bike seat cushion is not very comfortable.”
2. “Mirrors tend to swivel and become loose sometimes.”
3. “Very heavy to lift.”

Best Electric Dirt Bike For Hunting – In Summary

In summary, the Delfast TOP 3.0 and the Delfast Top 3.0i are very remarkable electric dirt bikes that can make a real difference in your hunting experience.

They’re a true workhorse with a load capacity of almost 300 lbs and with a top speed of 50 mph and a range of up to 200 miles they’re a cut above the rest.

This superior performance provides great peace of mind for you and your loved ones knowing that you’ve got a powerful and reliable companion at your side that will bring you home safely, no matter what.

In addition, both e-bikes are very versatile.

You can customize the Delfast Top 3.0 and 3.0i to meet your unique hunting needs and on your day off you can take them out and hit some dirt treks or go hiking off road just for fun or even commute to work with them daily.

Provided that the Delfast bike is legal in the locality where you intend to ride it, it’s definitely the best electric dirt bike for hunting to own and well worth the investment.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: How Good Is This Electric Hunting Bike?

Image: ©Rungu Bikes

The Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition is one of the best electric hunting bikes on the market today.

This awesome beast comes in

• Midnight Black,
• Winter Slate,
• Forest Green or a
• custom powder coat or
• Camo wrap.

It has got its name from one of North America’s most challenging off-road and overland trails. I’m talking, of course, about the Rubicon Trail.

Rungu equipped this Dualie XR hunting ebike with the tools and accessories necessary to tackle this famous Rubicon Trail.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: The Best 3 Wheel Electric Hunting Bike?

Image: ©Rungu Bikes

Before we dive any deeper into this Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon review, let me first address the elephant in the room.

A bike with 2 front wheels? Really?

Admitted, the dual front wheels look unusual and maybe even like a gimmick but trust me when I say that all you need to do is ride the Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon electric hunting bike once and you’ll agree how much these double front wheels improve performance, especially on very difficult terrains.

Having 2 front wheels greatly enhances stability. The Dualie XR Rubicon doesn’t even need a kickstand. It keeps upright all by itself.

This allows you to tackle difficult objects more slowly without the fear of losing balance.

It’s an awesome ride that can do things and go places that other 2-wheeled ebikes just can’t.

The 2 front wheels are close enough together that turning corners is no problem thanks to a unique steering setup with each of the front wheels still tracking like a regular bike.

It’s no surprise that many hunters also use the Dualie XR Rubicon to commute to work.

Keep on reading to uncover why exactly the Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition is such an amazing electric hunting bike.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: Hill Climbing

Image: ©Rungu Bikes

This hunting ebike loves to climb hills. And I’m not talking about slopes I’m talking about steep inclines or descents.

Rungu calls it the “Straight Up Climb Ability”.

Thanks to a “75/25” weight distribution the front tires stay on the ground when going uphill.

That allows you to climb hills with incredible grades of more than 50%. Yes, you read that right: more than 50%!

And you can do that while remaining seated and without getting out of the saddle. Absolutely breathtaking.

And if that wasn’t enough, the Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition by Rungu also descends better, too!

Thanks to the “Total Control Wheelbase” as Rungu calls it the Rubicon can descend hills more easily while simultaneously limiting the risk of any over-the-handlebar wipeouts.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: About The Motor

Image: ©Rungu Bikes

That’s not really surprising considering the Rubicon hunting electric bike comes fully equipped with the Bafang BBSHD 1120 W (G310.1000) mid drive motor.

As a mid drive motor with over 1000 W, it has the necessary torque and grip that’s needed to make hills seem like a mere inconvenience.

It has the power to get you up and over some tough obstacles that could stall many standard fat tire electric hunting bikes. I’m talking about grade 2 of the climbing rating system: up to 50%!

For an overview of more options check out my article about finding the best electric hunting bike for your needs.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: About The Brakes

Image: ©Rungu Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

To match the power of this motor, the Dualie XR Rubicon hunting ebike has dual hydraulic front disc brakes with 203 mm rotors that are electronically integrated with the motor.

In the rear, it has a dual-piston hydraulic rear brake with a 180 mm rotor that’s also electronically integrated with the motor.

The Dualie even has a parking brake that comes in handy not just when parking on a slope.

Dualie’s Double Front Wheels control descends better thanks to the dual front-wheel disc brakes which provide twice the stopping power of conventional e-bikes.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: Off-Roading Capabilities

Image: ©Rungu Bikes

Next in this Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon review, we’ll take a closer look at the amazing off-road capabilities of the Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition.

The Rubicon electric hunting bike doesn’t just convince when it comes to climbing very steep hills. It’s also superior and a lot of fun when transitioning between the road and off-road riding.

Riding the Rubicon on the road or a flat surface almost feels like a waste of its capabilities. Rungu calls it the “Go Anywhere” performance capability. And they’re not overpromising.

With the patented Double Wheel design the Rubicon can outperform most single-front-wheel electric hunting bikes on muddy ground, in soft snow, on loose sand, and over scree and rocky terrain.

That’s also due to the Dualie’s 75/25 weight distribution and “Total Control” wheelbase which keeps more traction on the front wheels. As a result, the front wheels have more traction and can turn even on very soft or very slippery surfaces.

Washouts and wipeouts that might be more common with conventional e-bikes would be almost impossible to produce with the Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition even if one tried.

The Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition has its name from the world-famous Rubicon Trail because this electric hunting bike just loves tackling the most challenging terrains and effortlessly riding through mud, over rocks, logs, and more.

Regular two-wheel fat tire bikes perform very well on sand that’s already hard-packed like sand near the high tide mark at the beach, for example.

But they often struggle and can get bogged down if the sand is very powdery or loose.

The Rungu XR Dualie Rubicon Trail Edition, on the other hand, can easily handle soft sand or loose dirt and is superior even in deep snow up to 9 or 10 inches deep without getting stuck or overwhelmed.

That’s also because the dual wheels help prevent you and your ebike from plowing down into the sand or snow.

Thanks to the unique steering mechanics of the Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition and the narrow enough distance between both front wheels, this amazing electric hunting bike is very easy to handle on and off the road.

It especially handles corners very well without any sketchy cornering or other issues.

The Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition lets you get on and off the beaten path in a jiffy which is exceptionally great fun when riding.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: About The Tires

Image: ©Rungu Bikes

The Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition is a three-wheeled electric hunting bike that features very capable Maxxis tires.

The wheels are protected and held in position by 26’’ alloy rims that are specially designed for fat tires. These rims have stainless steel spokes and sealed-bearing alloy hubs.

The 2 front wheels of this patented Double Wheel design are spaced only nine inches apart. The path width i.e. the distance from the outside of one front tire to the other is only 13.75 inches.

As a result, problems like washouts and over-the-bar wipeouts are a thing of the past.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: About The Suspension

Image: ©Rungu Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

Having 2 front wheels, the Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition electric hunting bike also has dual front suspensions.

Rungu equipped this hunting beast with its own custom GTMRK fat tire suspension forks.

These forks work extremely well with 100 mm of travel. Of course, they also have adjustable coil tension and lockout.

The Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition also has what Rungu calls the “FreeRide” Independent Suspension.

This system gives each front wheel over three inches of independent suspension travel. This makes for a remarkably smooth ride when riding on uneven and rugged terrain.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: About The Seat

The Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition electric hunting bike comes with the Velo Plush saddle and a 400 mm alloy seat post with an alloy quick-release adjustment clamp so you can customize it according to your personal preferences.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: About The Gearing

Image: ©Rungu Bikes

The Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition has a high-strength alloy 3OT chainring and capable BOX Prime 9 gearing to give you just the right amount of power when you need it.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: About The Cockpit

Image: ©Rungu Bikes

In the next few sections of this Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon review, we’ll examine some of the peripheral essentials of this awesome hunting tool.

In a sense, the Rubicon Dualie XR hunting ebike has not just one but two handlebars.

It’s a very unique patented dual-handlebar steering system with sealed-bearing alloy headsets with new soft-impact handlebar end-stops.

This ingenious steering system certainly makes handling this superb hunting electric bike extremely easy and comfortable, especially on challenging terrains.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: Weight Load Capacity

Image: ©Rungu Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

This hunting electric bike can handle a weight load of 350 lbs which is definitely at the highest end of all the electric hunting bikes that I’m aware of on the market today.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: About The Rack

Image: ©Rungu Bikes

If you need to bring along more weight you’re in luck. Rungu offers several accessories with great utility.

Let’s start with the Rungu Cargo Rack which can support up to 180 lbs of evenly distributed load.

This rear rack works together with the Rungu frame and offers many built-in fastening points to hard-mount your gear.

You can also add a 2” ball trailer hitch to this rack and tow up to 300 lbs!

How awesome is that!

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon review: About The Trailer

Rungu also offers 2 types of trailers that fit perfectly with the Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition electric hunting bike.

The Burley COHO XC single-wheel cargo trailer has as the name suggests a single wheel. It also has a built-in suspension for better load management and can carry up to 70 lbs of gear or supplies.

The Burley Flatbed Cargo Trailer has two wheels and can pull loads of up to 100 lbs.

You can even upgrade this trailer to Plus Size wheels which can help minimize resistance that might build up when the trailer is being pulled through soft sand or snow.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: Range Capabilities

Image: ©Rungu Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

Rungu estimates that the Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition can deliver a range of up to 24 miles on a single battery charge.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: About The Battery

The Dualie XR Rubicon electric hunting bike is equipped with a set of TWO very powerful LiNMC batteries, each with 52 V and 17.5 Ah.

Rungu calls it the “Double Up” battery system which doubles the practical range of your Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition electric hunting bike.

This gives you a whopping total of 1,872 Wh which in turn translates into a theoretical range of 93.6 miles on a single battery charge and without any pedaling (assuming that 1 mile traveled consumes approximately 20 Wh).

Yes, that’s not a printing error. 93.6 miles!

Micah Toll of Electrek tested the Rungu Dualie with 2 slightly smaller 52 V 15 Ah batteries. In his test, Micah was using the throttle-only mode instead of the pedal assist mode (PAS) most of the time.

He rode the Rungu Dualie on and off road including some tough riding in loose sand and dirt and a lot of hill climbing (all of which burns up battery more quickly).

However, he did about 6 hours of riding while traversing roughly 45 miles until the end of his test run and afterward stated this setup can “last you for a whole day of riding”.

He also states that “Rungus have been able to approach a hundred miles on some trips in the past”.

The Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon electric hunting bike comes with a 7.5 A battery charger that can fully charge a battery in less than 3 hours.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: How to Transport Your Electric Hunting Bike

The Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition has a hand-welded frame that’s designed by Rungu themselves.

It’s made out of 6061-T6 Aircraft aluminum and measures 14.5 inches in size.

The wheelbase has a length of 54.7 inches and a projected length of 85 inches.

The Rubicon weighs a total of 120 lbs. (54.4kg) with all accessories.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: What Upgrades And Addons Can You Get?

Image: ©Rungu Bikes

The Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition electric hunting bike is the flagship in the Rungu hunting eBike lineup.

The double front wheel design doesn’t just add incredible stability when riding.

The Rungu Dualie stands upright on its own without the need for a kickstand.

Rungu calls this “Stand Alone” Storage.

Thanks to the patented dual-handlebar steering system which uses what’s called the “Ackerman Steering Geometry”, the two front tires turn very smoothly, just as the two front wheels in a car.

The Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition hunting electric bike is equipped with everything you need to tackle even the toughest hunting trails in any weather condition.

This includes spare parts, tools, a skid plate, a first aid kit, and a very capable tire inflator to get you back on the trail in just a few minutes.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: What Warranty And Guarantees Do You Get?

Warranties and guarantees are important which is why we’ll look at them next in this Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon review.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: Warranties

Rungu has a 2-year warranty on all components (at the time of writing this review).

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: Money Back Guarantee

Rungu also has what they call their “Performance Guarantee” (at the time of writing this review).

If your new Rungu® Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition electric hunting bike “doesn’t go where other e-bikes can’t go”, they’ll buy it back.

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: Who Should Buy This Electric Hunting Bike?

Image: ©Rungu Bikes

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: Available Size

The Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition comes with a modified step-through frame to make it accessible for hunters with many different heights.

It has a Stand Over Height of 26.5 inches.

The saddle height can be adjusted from its lowest position of 34 inches to its highest position of 42 inches, with a ground clearance of 8 inches.

Rungu recommends the Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition for riders of at least 5’ (152 cm).

Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Review: eBike Law Compliance

The Dualie XR Rubicon Edition electric hunting bike comes in an “off-road only” version which is the one recommended by Rungu because it gives you unlimited access to all that power either in “throttle-only” mode or with different levels of Pedal Assist (PAS).

If you prefer you can also order your Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition as a Class 1 hunting eBike. In that configuration, the Rungu Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition comes with Pedal Assist (PAS) system but without any throttle. The power output in that configuration is limited to 749 W and the speed is limited to 20 mph.

Rungu also offers the Dualie XR Rubicon as a Class 2 electric hunting bike. In that configuration, the hunting eBike comes with a throttle and Pedal Assist system. The power output is limited to 749 W and the speed is limited to 20 mph.

Finally, if you live in Canada, Rungu now also offers the Dualie XR Rubicon Trail Edition with the required Canadian configuration.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Well Can It Handle Ascents And Descents?

Let’s start with one of the most important aspects of any electric hunting bike and that’s the question how well does it climb hills?

That, of course, depends to a large degree on the motor.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Good Is The Motor?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The Rambo Pursuit comes with the Bafang BBS02 750 W High Torque motor which is a mid drive motor.

Everything else being equal, mid drive motors have superior hill-climbing capabilities compared to hub motors and the Pursuit is no exception.

This hunting ebike has a peak power rating of 1000 W and can deliver up to 120 Nm of torque. That’s most likely more than enough to tackle most slopes and hills that’ll come your way.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Good Are The Brakes?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The Rambo Pursuit 750 W 26 electric hunting bike is equipped with very effective fully adjustable Logan HD-E500 2 Piston Hydraulic brakes both in the front and the rear.

The front and the rear brakes also have 180 mm rotor discs as well to give you the confidence that you can stop or go downhill whenever you want to.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Well Can It Handle Off-Road Terrain?

It’s a powerful hunting, fishing, and even camping companion that excels in the woods and the backcountry.

If you prefer a hunting ebike with 1000 W check out my article about finding the best electric hunting bike for your needs.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Good Are The Tires?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The Rambo Pursuit electric hunting bike has Kenda Krusade Anti-Puncture 26” x 4.0” fat tires that give you great balance, stability, and traction on off-road terrains.

The tires are protected by double wall rims w/o holes and 80 mm width.

These tires are not as “knobby” as the Maxxis tires on the XP Rambo bikes such as the Rebel or the Nomad, for example, but they certainly perform efficiently and are superior to more traditional thin-walled tires.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Good Is The Suspension?

While the Rambo Pursuit first started as a rigid electric hunting bike without any suspension, Rambo introduced a coil front suspension for the Pursuit in 2021.

The Pursuit hunting ebike now has a GT MRK front fork suspension which certainly adds to the comfort especially if you’re riding across rugged terrain for a prolonged period.

It’s another example of how Rambo has listened to hunters and continuously improved the Pursuit to make it the effective and capable hunting electric bike it is today.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Good Is The Seat?

The Rambo Pursuit comes with a high-quality and comfortable Justec saddle.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Good Is The Gearing?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The Rambo Pursuit electric hunting bike now comes with Shimano 8-Speed Gear Box system.

This is still an internal gear hub but it replaces the previous 3-speed Sturmy Archer internal hub gearing system.

You benefit from a superior gearing system that requires less maintenance and has no derailleur that could get tangled up with sticks or other types of debris when scouting the backcountry.

Rambo Pursuit Review: Can You Carry Your Weapons?

Carrying your rifle, bow, or other weapons on your hunting eBike is an important aspect and one we will look at next in this Rambo Pursuit review.

If you want to carry some weapons like your rifle or bow on your Rambo Pursuit electric hunting bike you can easily attach the Gator-Gripp bow and gun holders to the handlebar.

It’s a very nice setup and they do an excellent job when you’re riding in or out of the woods.

Alternatively, you can mount the Kolpin Ratcheting Rhino Grips to the handlebar. They also hold your gear, rifle, or bow exceptionally well.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Good Is The Cockpit?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The handlebar on the Rambo Pursuit hunting electric bike is the PROMAX 770 mm which adds stability and has a very nice and wide feeling to it.

The Stem is also from PROMAX, namely the PROMAX MA-50.

The grips are HL Ergonomic Lock-On grips.

On the right side of the handlebar, you also have the thumb throttle to control how much power you want to receive from the motor.

Right in the center of the handlebar, you have the Rambo Digital Display with USB Power.

The cockpit is completed with the easy-to-handle thumb shifter.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Much Weight Can It Handle?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

The Pursuit 750 W 26 by Rambo Bikes has a load capacity of 300 lbs which is the same across all Rambo premium electric hunting bikes.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Good Is The Rack?

If you want more storage (and you most likely do) you can purchase the Back Rack and then add the Rambo saddle bags to carry your gear instead of having it tied on your back.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Good Are The Trailers?

Rambo offers great trailers to go with the Pursuit and I think they’re worth it especially if you prefer to haul out your hunt in one single trip.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Much Range Does It Have?

Even though I included “range” in this Rambo Pursuit review it’s a difficult topic to cover.

That’s mainly because the range you can ride depends on so many different factors that it’s difficult to give any meaningful estimate. Therefore, in the next section, I have included a short formula that should make it easier for you to compare the range capabilities of different electric hunting bikes.

Rambo estimates that the Pursuit 750 W 26 hunting ebike gives you a range of approximately 35 miles on a single battery charge.

Rambo Pursuit Review: How Good Is The Battery?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The LG lithium-ion battery is frame integrated on the Rambo Pursuit and has 48 V and 14 AH.

This is more than the original Pursuit which had a 10.4 Ah battery until Rambo upgraded it in 2021.

The battery has a total power output of 672 Wh which gives you a theoretical range of 33.6 miles on a single battery charge without any pedaling if one assumes that 1 mile requires 20 Wh of energy.

That’s pretty good and in line with many other premium electric hunting bikes on the market today.

Rambo Pursuit Review: Transporting Your Electric Hunting Bike

Image: ©Rambo Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

The Rambo Pursuit hunting electric bike has a frame made from Aluminum Alloy 6061 which is pretty common on many high-quality electric hunting bikes today.

It comes only in 1 frame size of 19” which Rambo describes as “Medium”.

This hunting ebike is slightly lighter than many other comparable electric hunting bikes with a weight of 63 lbs.

This makes lifting the ebike on and off your truck, for example, that much easier.

Rambo Pursuit Review: What Upgrades And Accessories Can You Buy?

Included in the Rambo Pursuit are very nice Neco Alloy pedals and an integrated speed sensor.

Of course, Rambo offers many accessories that will further increase the utility of your Rambo Pursuit hunting ebike which is why I’ve included some of them in this Rambo Pursuit review.

I’ve already mentioned the Rambo saddle bags earlier. They’re a great addition to store away lots of gear.

You can also add a lithium rechargeable headlight to make riding in and out of the woods at night time that much easier. I recommend you choose a detachable one that you can also use as a flashlight to look for blood trails, for example.

The Justec saddle is good and probably enough for shorter hunting trips. If you intend to ride on your Pursuit hunting electric bike for a longer period you might want to upgrade to a more comfortable seat, like the Schwinn extra wide comfort seat, for example.

The Rambo Pursuit, even though purposely built for the backcountry comes without any fenders. If you want fenders you need to add them to your shopping cart when you’re purchasing your ebike.

Considering the Pursuit is specifically designed for the backcountry, I think fenders should come as standard because out in the woods, they can be a real lifesaver.

If you’re riding in wet conditions or on muddy trails without fenders, the mud will get everywhere. It will land on your back and the front wheel will throw it up onto your rifle or your bow. It certainly is no fun without fenders.

They also help to reduce any humming noise on the road which is another great benefit.

18arrowhead an avid hunter who uses the Rambo Pursuit 750 W 26 electric hunting bike primarily for deer and turkey hunting used the fender kit for the RAD Rover 5.

The fender kit for the RAD Rover 5 fits the Rambo Pursuit perfectly in the front while in the rear you have to cut off about 3.5 inches where it meets the crank area and then add a bracket to keep it off the tire.

You can also add the Hawk Crawler Game Cart with pivoting axle to move deer out of the woods or take your tree stand in when you’re doing the pre-scouting setup.

Rambo Pursuit Review: What Warranties Do You Get?

Rambo Pursuit Review: What Warranty Do You Get?

Rambo offers the Pursuit hunting ebike with their Standard warranty which includes a lifetime frame warranty for extra peace of mind (at the time of writing this review).

Rambo Pursuit Review: What I Like The Least

• Fenders are not included

Rambo Pursuit Review: Who Should Get This Electric Hunting Bike

Image: ©Rambo Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

Rambo Pursuit Review: What Size Is It?

The Rambo Pursuit electric hunting bike is available in a single size of 19”.

It has a Stand-Over height of 29”.

These dimensions should allow the majority of hunters to find the Pursuit comfortable for their height.

Rambo Pursuit Review: My Conclusion

I hope you found this Rambo Pursuit review helpful in discovering what exactly this amazing electric hunting bike brings to the hunting table.

Please let me know if I missed any important aspect so that I can further improve this Rambo Pursuit review to help more hunters along the way.

Are you searching for a comprehensive and objective Rambo Prowler review to help you decide if the Prowler is the best electric hunting bike for you?

If you are, this report is tailor-made for you.

Continue reading to find out why so many hunters before you chose the Prowler as their main hunting tool and haven’t looked back.

Rambo Prowler Review: How Capable Is This Electric Hunting Bike?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The Rambo Prowler 1000 XPE is a well-thought-out, purpose-built premium electric hunting bike.

It’s a hunting ebike that loves challenging terrain and is the perfect companion for hunters, explorers, trailblazers, and extreme adventurers.

This hunting electric bike from Rambo is designed using only premium high-quality components that in the aggregate produce a hunting machine that’s very powerful and extremely capable.

The frame comes in Rambo’s exclusive TrueTimber VSX camo paint pattern and is prepared to handle all sorts of attachments, from a great rear rack to a strong trailer.

With the Prowler 1000 XPE electric hunting bike you can certainly stow tons of gear or quickly haul your big game out of the deep woods after a successful hunt.

In this Rambo Prowler review, I dive into all the details that make the Prowler by Rambo one of the best electric hunting bikes on the market today.

Rambo Prowler Review: Hill Climbing

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The Rambo Prowler is a great hill climber even if you’re planning on loading a lot of weight or hauling a trailer.

Rambo Prowler Review: Let’s Talk About The Motor

Image: ©Electrified Reviews

That’s in large part due to the Bafang 1000 W Ultra-Mid Drive motor.

This beast has 1000 W of nominal wattage and a peak rating of 1500 W. Awesome.

Combine that with a maximum torque of 160 Nm and you can see why the Prowler electric hunting bike does not disappoint.

Taking into account that the Ultra Mid-Drive motor can leverage the gearing for even more torque or speed it’s easy to see why the Prowler is so ridiculously powerful.

It’s a torque-sensing motor. That means it’s equipped with a super smooth, super precise torque sensor that’s much more efficient with the battery life.

The torque sensor makes sure the motor only gives you the power that you need exactly when you need it. This makes the off-road riding experience that much more natural in feel as well as significantly more efficient.

If you prefer a hunting bike with less power check out my article about finding the best electric hunting bike for your needs.

Rambo Prowler Review: Let’s Talk About The Brakes

Image: ©Electrified Reviews

To control all of that power, the Prowler hunting electric bike by Rambo comes with powerful Tektro HD-E725 4 Piston Hydraulic brakes in the front and the rear.

The front brake has a 203 mm rotor while the rear brake has a 180 mm rotor.

These brakes have an excellent bite which is especially great for when you’re hunting deep in the woods in wet or muddy conditions.

Rambo Prowler Review: Off-Roading

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

It almost feels like an insult to question the off-roading capabilities of the Prowler given the fact that this electric hunting bike was purposely built to conquer the wild.

However, in the next 2 sections of this Rambo Prowler review, I will detail two essential components for any premium hunting eBike, namely the tires and the suspension.

Rambo Prowler Review: Let’s Talk About The Tires

Image: ©Electrified Reviews

The Prowler electric hunting bike by Rambo has a Maxxis Minion FBF 27.5” x 3.8” fat tire in the front and the Maxxis Minion FBR 27.5” x 3.8” fat tire in the rear.

These fat tires are designed specifically for trail riding.

They offer outstanding traction on slippery terrain, especially when airing them down.

Thanks to their huge air volume these fat tires also provide some extra cushioning which is nice, especially on very rough terrain.

The tires are protected and held in place with a double wall rim w/o holes and 70 mm in width.

Rambo Prowler Review: Let’s Talk About The Suspension

Image: ©Electrified Reviews

The Rambo Prowler hunting ebike has an inverted front fork which has shown itself to offer superior handling, especially when riding at higher speeds or turning corners.

It’s the fully adjustable GT860 Inverted Air Fork Suspension with 120 mm of travel.

This suspension is pretty smooth and great for leveling out bumpy trails, and turning huge tree roots into little twigs feeling-wise.

Rambo Prowler Review: Let’s Talk About The Seat

Image: ©Electrified Reviews

The Prowler electric hunting bike has the Selle Royal A027HEO saddle as standard. It’s a classic, high-quality, water-resistant saddle that’s pretty comfortable.

However, I always find seats are a very personal thing. A seat might be comfortable for one person and less so for another.

In either case, I think the Selle Royal A027HEO won’t disappoint and if you prefer a different seat for your hunting trips you can always change it at any time, right?

Rambo Prowler Review: Let’s Talk About The Gearing

Image: ©Electrified Reviews

The Rambo Prowler electric hunting bike features a continuously variable transmission system from Enviolo. It’s a rear gear hub that offers a much wider range of gearing compared to more traditional derailleurs.

The Enviolo Silent Hub is very similar to a 9-speed but it automatically locks the gearing whenever the drive train is under stress.

This makes changing gears very similar to riding a motorcycle (by briefly taking the foot off the gas to shift) and helps to prevent damage to the system.

The Enviolo hub also has the advantage of infinite gear settings with its huge 380% gear range.

It’s very easy to adjust the settings to match the type of terrain you’re riding on with the Prowler’s Hillside Indicator. By simply twisting the shifter back if you’re on flat ground and forward if you’re tackling a steeper slope, for example.

Rambo Prowler Review: Let’s Talk About The Cockpit

Image: ©Electrified Reviews

In this section of my Rambo Prowler review, we explore the cockpit which is sometimes overlooked but plays an important role when hunting in the backcountry.

The handlebar of the Prowler is the PROMAX 770 mm which you can also find on many other premium Rambo electric hunting bikes. Its width is great for helping to maintain good control.

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The MA-50 stem is also made by PROMAX and the 100 mm Velo grip feels awesome and has a 122 mm lock on to avoid any slippage.

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The DP C10.UART digital display is big, beautiful, and bright enough to be easily readable even in very sunny conditions. If that’s not enough you can easily adjust the angle of the screen to fit your personal preferences.

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The handlebar features the thumb throttle in a convenient location. The independent control pad for the display is mounted on the left of the handlebar and the effective twist shifter is on the right side.

Rambo Prowler Review: Load Capacity

Like all other Rambo premium electric hunting bikes, the Prowler can carry up to 300 lbs which is probably more than enough for most hunting trips.

However, Rambo also offers great racks and trailers in case you need them to carry your gear or haul your deer stand or your deer, for example.

Rambo Prowler Review: Range Capabilities

Rambo estimates that the Prowler hunting ebike will give you a range of approximately 40 miles on a single battery charge.

However, I need to point out that more powerful motors like the Bafang 1000 W Ultra Mid-Drive eat up a lot of energy which is why I don’t recommend riding the Prowler using throttle-only mode too often or for too long.

Instead, if you use low-level pedal assist the battery will last much longer.

However, bringing a second battery along is sound advice for any electric hunting bike. You might not need it but it’s comforting to know you have enough energy to safely get back. That also adds peace of mind for your loved ones.

Rambo Prowler Review: Let’s Talk About The Battery

Image: ©Electrified Reviews

The Rambo Prowler comes with a capable frame-integrated Samsung battery with 48 V and 17 AH.

This pack of the very best lithium-ion batteries is lockable and removable.

It produces a total of 816 Wh which translates into a theoretical range of 40.8 miles (given that 1 mile traveled consumes 20 Wh) on a single battery charge without any pedaling.

That’s certainly an impressive number compared to many other electric hunting bikes on the market today.

Rambo Prowler Review: Top Speed

The Rambo Prowler can easily reach a speed of 30 mph in throttle-only mode.

Using a high level of Pedal-Assist mode you might even reach a faster top speed when pedaling on flats.

But the Prowler doesn’t just impress with its top speed. It also has very impressive acceleration.

Rambo Prowler Review: What Upgrades And Addons Can You Buy?

In this section of my Rambo Prowler review, I take a closer look at some other details of the Prowler that you might find interesting and useful.

The Rambo Prowler electric hunting bike has a KT-M0CF 150mm sealed front hub. In the rear, it has the Enviolo CVT rear hub.

It has the Rambo Custom 44T Narrow Wide chain ring and the Wellgo B807DU pedals that are common on many Rambo electric hunting bikes.

Thanks to a great modular motor design and the integrated controller disassembly, repair, or maintenance are extremely easy.

I also like the fact that the Prowler comes with lots of bosses all over the frame to attach useful upgrades.

You have 4 bosses on the down tube to attach a bottle cage or battery holder, for example. You have another 4 bosses on the stem to attach a load-bearing basket. You also have a few sets of bosses at the rear of the frame for a rear rack or trailer.

Rambo Prowler Review: How Can You Transport Your Electric Hunting Bike?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

The Prowler has a frame made from high-quality Aluminum Alloy 6061 which makes it super rigid and capable of handling rough terrain.

It has a total weight of 70lbs which makes it one of the slightly heavier Rambo premium electric hunting bikes which is to be expected given that you have a very powerful motor and battery that both contribute to the overall weight.

Rambo Prowler Review: What Warranty And Guarantees Can You Expect?

Rambo Prowler Review: Warranty

Rambo sells the Prowler electric hunting bike with its limited lifetime frame warranty and a one-year comprehensive warranty for extra peace of mind (at the time of writing this review).

Just remember to register your ebike to activate the warranty.

Rambo Prowler Review: Guarantees

The Prowler also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee and return policy (at the time of writing this review).

Rambo Prowler Review: Should You Buy This Electric Hunting Bike?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

Rambo Prowler Review: Available Size

The Prowler comes in a single frame size of 19.7″ which Rambo describes as “Medium” and has a Stand Over Height of 32.8″.

Brent McCluskey from Electrified Reviews who tested the Prowler is 5’10’’ and the Prowler was perfect for him.

Rambo Prowler Review: My Conclusion

I hope you found this Rambo Prowler review helpful in discovering what exactly this amazing electric hunting bike brings to the hunting table.

Please let me know if I missed any important aspect so that I can further improve this Rambo Prowler review to help more hunters along the way.

Are you trying to find a concise and well-researched Rambo Megatron review to help you decide if this is the right electric hunting bike for you?

If you are, then this report is for you.

Keep on reading to uncover all the secrets and hidden details of why so many hunters can no longer imagine a hunting trip without this awesome hunting companion.

Rambo Megatron Review: How Good Is This Electric Hunting Bike?

The Rambo Megatron 1000 X2WD is probably the flagship electric hunting bike from Rambo.

First introduced in 2021 it’s the only All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) hunting electric bike from Rambo.

It’s an absolutely awesome powerhouse that feels almost more like riding a dirt bike.

It comes in the popular TrueTimber Viper Western Camo paint and is designed to deliver incredible power even on the harshest terrains.

Each Rambo bike is designed to serve a specific purpose whether you’re riding in the city, riding two tracks, riding single tracks, or riding big train, for example.

The Rambo Megatron 1000 X2WD electric hunting bike is truly a high-performance workhorse that lets you climb steep paths, ride through deep snow, or along sandy beaches with unbelievable ease.

In this Rambo Megatron review, you’ll discover why it’s an amazing tool to put into your hunting or fishing tool kit or just for having bucket loads of fun.

Keep reading to learn what edge the Rambo Megatron 1000 X2WD electric hunting bike provides the passionate hunter.

Rambo Megatron Review: What About Climbing Hills?

It almost feels like an insult to even question how well the Megatron 1000 X2WD can climb hills.

Being an All-Wheel drive hunting ebike there’s probably nothing the Megatron enjoys more than hauling you and your load up and down any kind of sloped or hilly terrain.

Rambo Megatron Review: Let’s Look At The Motor

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

This beast features not just one but TWO Bafang 1000 Watt hub drive motors.

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

One motor is located in the front wheel and the other in the rear wheel.

What’s even better, you can easily switch between an All-Wheel drive mode and Rear-Hub-Motor-Only or Front-Hub-Motor-Only mode.

This gives you maximum control over your riding performance allowing you to crank it up to all-wheel drive when it’s needed while also preserving valuable battery charge on mild terrain.

Each of these motors has a peak power rating of 1500 W putting an incredible 3000 W of combined total peak power output at your fingertips.

You can ride this awesome machine either in Throttle-Only or cadence-sensing Pedal-Assist mode.

If 3000 W is too much for you why not check out some more options in my article about finding the best electric hunting bike for your needs.

Rambo Megatron Review: Let’s Look At The Brakes

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

Having such powerful motors at your disposal also requires an equally impressive stopping power. And the Rambo Megatron 1000 X2WD does not disappoint.

It comes fully equipped with Tektro HD-E725 4 Piston hydraulic brakes at the front and rear wheels. At the front, you have a 203 mm rotor while in the rear you have a 180 mm rotor.

The stopping power of these brakes is phenomenal. But, there’s more.

Given the awesome power of these motors, coupled with the weight of the Megatron, Rambo has also equipped this great electric hunting bike with motor inhibitors.

Every time you hit the brakes, the two motors also instantly shut off avoiding a battle between motors and brakes and instead having all parts work in harmony together to achieve a common goal.

Beautiful.

Rambo Megatron Review: What About Challenging Off-Road Terrain?

Handling challenging off-road terrain is kind of the essence of an effective electric hunting bike which is why the next few sections of this Rambo Megatron review are dedicated to this topic.

The Megatron 1000 X2WD was not specifically designed to work in snowy or icy conditions but the hosts at Ultimate Outdoor Adventures TV tried it anyway.

They wanted to see how well the Megatron performed in thick snow and they were not disappointed.

Using only the front hub motor or only the rear hub motor they found the Megatron could easily handle riding in 6 inches of fresh powdery snow without any problems.

Using the All-Wheel drive they were blown away by the performance of the Megatron electric hunting bike in at least a foot of fresh and powdery snow.

So, even though the Megatron was not designed for snow if you’re ice fishing or late-season hunting and you have fresh snow, for example, the Megatron would be a great tool to have in your arsenal.

Rambo Megatron Review: Let’s Look At The Tires

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

When first introduced the Rambo Megatron 1000 X2WD electric hunting bike came with massive Maxxis Minion 26 x 4.8’’ fat tires.

However, maybe due to supply chain issues, the Megatron currently features equally impressive and capable 26 x 4.5’’ fat tires. These tires give you great traction on any off-road terrain.

The Megatron hunting ebike also has 100mm wide double-wall rims w/o holes.

Rambo Megatron Review: Let’s Look At The Suspension

The Megatron is a hardtail ebike with a very effective GT MRK 355 Air 26 front suspension fork.

This fork has 120 mm of travel and re-bound damping adjustment to allow your shock absorbers to return to their original extension fast enough ready to absorb the next bump.

Tuned correctly, it can give you much improved comfort and control when you’re moving over various kinds of terrain.

Rambo Megatron Review: Let’s Look At The Seat

The Megatron 1000 X2WD electric hunting bike is equipped with the Selle Royal A027HEO saddle.

It’s a comfortable premium seat that can be found on almost all Rambo Bikes premium hunting ebikes.

Rambo Megatron Review: Let’s Look At The Gearing

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

Next in my Rambo Megatron review, we look at the gearing of the Megatron or should I say the absence of it, to be more precise.

Featuring 2 powerful motors and 2 massive batteries the Megatron electric hunting bike is heavier than other hunting ebikes. It can be ridden using just human power but it’s not designed with that use case at the forefront. It’s primarily intended to be used either in throttle-only mode or with Pedal-Assist mode.

As a result, Rambo had the foresight to make this hunting behemoth a single-speed ebike.

There’s no gearing and no derailleur to worry about and you have ample control over the amount of power provided by the Megatron using the different cadence-sensing Pedal-Assist levels combined with using either one of the 2 motors or both of them together.

To handle the immense power, Rambo has opted to include the extra strong Rambo Custom Built 36T Narrow Wide chainring.

A wise decision, indeed.

Rambo Megatron Review: Let’s Look At The Cockpit

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The handlebar on the Megatron is from PROMAX with a comfortable handle width of 770 mm for great stability and handling. It’s a quality component that you can also find on many other Rambo premium electric hunting bikes.

The Megatron has the PROMAX MA-50 stem which has also been battle-tested on other Rambo hunting ebikes.

The grips on the Megatron, however, can only be found on the top-of-the-range Rambo hunting electric bikes. They are Velo 122 mm ergonomic lock-on grips that look cool and feel firm and solid.

The two motors are controlled via a thumb throttle that’s mounted on the right side of the handlebar.

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The super bright full color digital display is easy to read even in sunny conditions and keeps you updated on your rpms, your speed, your battery life, etc.

Rambo Megatron Review: What About Carrying A Lot Of Weight?

As you would expect from a Rambo electric hunting bike, it has a load capacity of an awesome 300 lbs getting you and all your gear wherever you want to go.

Rambo Megatron Review: Let’s Look At The Racks

If you need more storage capacity the Rambo Megatron electric hunting bike comes with bosses in the head tube for an optional front rack and bosses for the optional rear rack.

Rambo offers a lot of high-quality and very useful accessories. I especially like the Triple Accessories Bag.

You can check it out on their website.

Rambo Megatron Review: Let’s Look At The Trailer

Even though the trailer is not included in the basic price I just wanted to briefly mention it in this Rambo Megatron review.

Rambo offers a whole range of different trailers you can easily attach to your Megatron hunting ebike. This type of accessory is obviously very important and I think it’s good to know that Rambo has you covered.

Regardless of whether you need to haul out your big game (Congrats!) or you want to transport your kayak, Rambo offers a trailer for that, too.

Rambo Megatron Review: What About The Range?

Since the Rambo Megatron hunting electric bike has TWO massive batteries you can expect a greater than-usual range.

According to Rambo Bikes, a range of up to 80 miles is achievable.

That’s awesome news if you’re planning some great overnight extreme hunting or overnight backpacking, for example.

Rambo Megatron Review: Let’s Look At The Battery

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

But let’s look at the numbers.

As I mentioned, there are two frame-integrated batteries on the Megatron 1000 X2WD. Each of these lithium-ion batteries has 48 V and 17 Ah. This gives you a total of 34 Ah – awesome!

1 battery sits inside the down tube and the other is mounted on top of the down tube. Both batteries can be locked and/or removed individually.

Let’s use my “traditional” way of comparing ranges on different electric hunting bikes.

With 48 V and 34 Ah the Megatron 1000 X2WD provides you with a jaw-dropping 1,632 Wh. If 1 mile consumes 20 Wh, the Megatron offers an amazing 81.6 miles of range on a single charge without any pedaling at all.

Of course, this is just a theoretical number, and as I always mention your actual range will vary depending on many factors such as the amount of weight you’re carrying, the type of terrain you’re riding across, the speed with which you’re traveling, etc.

But considering that many other premium hunting electric bikes top out somewhere in the 30 – 40 miles range you get an idea of the awesomeness of the Rambo Megatron 1000 X2WD electric hunting bike, right?

Rambo Megatron Review: What About The Speed?

The Megatron has a top speed of 28 mph.

Rambo Megatron Review: What About Upgrades, Addons, And Accessories?

Overall, the Megatron is a very well-organised electric hunting bike with the wiring all routed through the frame.

I also like the pedals which are the Wellgo B807DU, battle-tested on all premium hunting electric bikes from Rambo.

Rambo Megatron Review: How To Transport Your Electric Hunting Bike?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

Next in my Rambo Megatron review, I want to briefly cover the issue of weight as this might influence how easy it is to load your hunting eBike on and off your truck.

Like all other Rambo premium electric hunting bikes, the Megatron 1000 X2WD has a frame made from high-quality aluminum alloy 6061.

Of course, featuring 2 powerful motors and 2 massive batteries takes its toll on the overall weight of this hunting behemoth.

With a weight of about 77 lbs. the Megatron feels much heavier than many other ebikes but maybe less than one might expect.

Rambo Megatron Review: What About Warranties And Guarantees?

Rambo Megatron Review: What About Warranties?

At the time of writing this review, Rambo offers the Megatron with their STANDARD LIMITED WARRANTY which I would summarize like this: lifetime warranty on the frame and a 1-year warranty on everything else.

Rambo Megatron Review: What About Guarantees?

At the time of writing this, Rambo also offers a 30-day money-back or replacement guarantee for an unused bike.

Rambo Megatron Review: Who Should Buy This Electric Hunting Bike?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

As you have seen so far, the Rambo Megatron is an outstanding premium hunting eBike.

But there are a few limitations that I want to include in this Rambo Megatron review as they might influence your purchasing decision.

Rambo Megatron Review: What About The Size?

The Megatron 1000 X2WD electric hunting bike features a “medium” frame size of 19.7″ and a Stand Over Height of 31.6”.

Rambo Megatron Review: What About eBike Laws?

With 2 1000 W motors, the Megatron does not fit into any of the 3 electric bike classifications you can find in many jurisdictions (Class 1, Class 2, Class 3).

The Megatron is intended to be used on private land or in areas where it can be ridden legally, for example in areas where motorized vehicles are permitted.

Always check the legalities first before riding your Megatron or any other electric hunting bike to protect the reputation of hunters, ebike riders in general, and the Rambo brand.

Rambo Megatron Review: My Conclusion

I hope you found this Rambo Megatron review interesting and beneficial.

This amazing electric hunting bike has a lot to offer to the passionate hunter.

Please let me know if I missed anything important in this Rambo Megatron review so that I can include it as well.

Happy Riding

Rambo Bikes states that the Bushwacker 750W XPC hunting ebike “won’t climb Mount Everest” but “It’s gonna get you pretty much wherever you need to go”.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Let’s Talk About The Motor

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The Rambo Bushwacker 750W XPC is equipped with a Bafang 750W BBSHD High Torque motor.

It’s a powerful mid drive motor with plenty of torque and power to get you up and down hills or help you haul your gear into, and your big game out of the backcountry.

Mid drive motors are especially good at hill climbing and this beast can be controlled by a thumb throttle on the handlebar.

I also always recommend checking the peak power (wattage) output of the motor for better hill-climbing capabilities.

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The Bushwacker 750W has a nominal power rating of 750 W but a peak power rating of 1000 W.

That’s great news because I found that, everything else being equal, any electric hunting bike with at least 1000 W peak performance turns out to be a good hill climber.

One other detail I especially like about the Bushwacker is the fact that the thumb throttle that’s mounted on the right side when the ebike is first delivered can also be mounted on the left side of the handlebar.

It’s a nice touch that enables a higher degree of customization and personalization to accommodate your personal preferences and riding style.

However, if you prefer 1000 W you can find more alternatives in my review of the Best Electric Hunting Bike.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Let’s Talk About The Brakes

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

Having a powerful motor demands very capable brakes and I’m very pleased to see that Rambo opted to equip the Bushwacker electric hunting bike with hydraulic brakes.

This hunting ebike has Tektro 2-piston hydraulic brakes (Tektro HD-E350) with a 180 mm rotor both at the front and at the rear.

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

It’s a sensible decision but having these high-quality components also explains why a premium electric hunting bike like the Bushwacker by Rambo comes with an equally premium price tag.

However, it’s money well spent.

Just imagine how satisfying it feels when you can confidently tackle any descent even if you’re hauling your big game back to your truck after a successful hunting trip.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: How Well Can It Handle Off-Road Terrain?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

Since the Rambo Bushwacker 750W XPC was purposely designed to give hunters an edge, it comes as no surprise that this electric hunting bike loves off-roading and hunting in stealth mode.

The Bushwacker hunting ebike excels when riding on mountainous terrain and sand and can give you a real adrenaline kick when you feel all of that power kicking in.

It comes with a great camo paint called “TrueTimber Viper Western Camo” which helps you blend into your surroundings very well.

With the Bushwacker 750W XPC you can travel very quietly deep into the wilderness and enter your stand in stealth mode without much more than the sound of a whisper.

You can quickly and effortlessly check your game cameras regularly and in a fraction of the time it would take you to do the same job on foot.

You can scout large areas of your land without stressing out the animals because you’re not producing fumes, smoke, or noise while moving around.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Let’s Talk About The Tires

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

Equally important for a great hunting experience are the tires of your electric hunting bike which is why we take a closer look at them in this chapter of my Rambo Bushwacker review.

The Rambo Bushwacker 750W XPC hunting electric bike is equipped with Maxxis Minion FBF, FBR 26 x 4.0” fat tires.

These fat tires feature a nice tread that’s great for traction on rough and rugged terrain as well as on more slippery grounds covered with snow or mud.

The double wall RIM also helps to keep debris and sticks from getting into the tires.

Of course, as with all fat tires, you can adjust the tire pressure according to the terrain you’re riding on but 7-15 psi is generally the optimum.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Let’s Talk About The Suspension

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

I’m a big fan of inverted front suspension forks on electric hunting bikes, especially the more powerful ones because this type of fork provides for much more rigid and firm handling at higher speeds or on more challenging terrain compared to a “regular” suspension fork.

Rambo decided to equip the Bushwacker 750W XPC hunting ebike with the GT MRK 860 Air fork which is an inverted fork.

It has the rigid part on top and the moving pistons down below for a cushy smooth ride and more rigid and sturdier handling in the long run.

I like it a lot.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Let’s Talk About The Seat

The Bushwacker 750W XPC electric hunting bike comes with a good quality Selle Royal A027HEO saddle.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Let’s Talk About The Gearing

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

Another detail about the Bushwacker I like is the internal hub.

Unlike many other hunting ebikes, the Bushwacker doesn’t have a derailleur and an exposed gearing system that could be attacked by all sorts of debris, sticks, grass, etc

Instead, it features a 5-speed Sturmey-Archer internal hub that protects your ebike and your chain etc. from any damage from all of that which is great for hunting, isn’t it?

It also has 80mm wide double-wall rims w/o holes.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Let’s Talk About The Cockpit

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

In this next section of my Rambo Bushwacker review, we’ll examine the cockpit.

The cockpit of the Rambo Bushwacker electric hunting bike is stylish and functional. It includes the PROMAX handlebar that’s 770 mm wide for a more balanced feel.

I also like that the handlebar can be adjusted slightly forward or backward by turning or swiveling it to accommodate different arm lengths and reach by different hunters.

The stem is PROMAX MA-50 and the grips are G225-1 Lock-On grips.

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The Bushwacker motor can be controlled by a handy thumb throttle that is attached to the handlebar close to the grips.

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

Also on the handlebar is the twist shifter to communicate with the 5-speed Sturmey-Archer internal hub.

The full-color DP C10.UART LCD display gives access to the Pedal Assist Modes among other things and is clearly readable and well-lit.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: How Much Weight Can It Handle?

As with other comparable premium electric hunting bikes the Rambo Bushwacker 750W XPC can carry up to 300 lbs. in weight.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Let’s Talk About The Trailer

If you need to transport more weight or chunkier items, (maybe some big game?) Rambo offers different types of trailers, anything from cooler trailers to hauling gear or kayak trailers.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: What Range Does It Offer?

The range is often considered an important factor when choosing an electric hunting bike and I’ve also included it here in my Rambo Bushwacker review as well.

However, it’s kind of a difficult topic to cover because the range you can travel depends on so many different factors, many of which are out of the hunter’s control.

According to Rambo Bikes, The Bushwacker 750W XPC electric hunting bike has an estimated range of up to 35-38 miles on a single battery charge.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Let’s Talk About The Battery

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

It comes with a capable 48 V 14 AH battery that delivers a total of 672 Wh.

Image: ©Rambo Bikes

The battery is frame integrated and consists of numerous lithium-ion batteries.

Assuming that 1 mile consumes 1 Wh of energy, a total of 672 Wh gives you a theoretical distance of 33.6 miles on a single battery charge without any pedaling.

Please remember as always that this is just a theoretical number that can be used to have a standardised way of comparing the range capabilities of different electric hunting bikes.

Your actual range will depend on many factors outside the control of the hunting ebike manufacturer or brand but by using the above formula you have a means for a meaningful comparison.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Available Upgrades And Addons

Image: ©Rambo Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

At the time of writing this, Rambo offers the Bushwacker 750W XPC as a Limited Edition with a few differences from the regular version.

Unlike the regular version that comes with a 5-speed internal hub, for the Limited Edition, you can choose between a single-speed and a Box 8-Speed Cassette gear option.

However, the front hub is still the same KT-M9CF 150mm sealed.

The Bushwacker Limited Edition also features the same pedals as the regular version: Wellgo B807DU.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Ease Of Transportation

The Rambo Bushwacker electric hunting bike has a strong frame made from aluminum alloy 6061 and weighs a total of 66 lbs.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Warranties And Other Guarantees

Because in the real world, accidents do happen sometimes which is why I think it’s worthwhile to briefly mention warranties in this Rambo Bushwacker review.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: What Warranties Are Included?

At the time of writing this, the Bushwacker 750W electric hunting bike comes with Rambo’s Standard Limited Warranty for peace of mind.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Who Is This Electric Hunting Bike For?

Image: ©Rambo Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

Rambo Bushwacker Review: What Is Its Size?

The Bushwacker 750W XPC (and the Limited Edition) both have a frame size of 19” and a Stand Over Height of 30”.

Rambo Bushwacker Review: Is It eBike Law Compliant?

The Rambo Bushwacker 750W XPC has a throttle and Pedal Assist Mode and a top speed of 19 mph and therefore meets all federal regulations for non-motorized vehicles (Class 2).

Rambo Bushwacker Review: My Conclusion

I hope you found this Rambo Bushwacker review helpful in discovering what exactly this amazing electric hunting bike brings to the hunting table.

Please let me know if I missed any important aspect so that I can further improve this Rambo Bushwacker review to help more hunters along the way.

Happy Riding

Are you looking for more information about the RadRunner 2 as an electric bike for hunting? Then this Radrunner 2 electric utility bike review is right for you.

Read further to discover exactly how well this electric bike performs as an essential and effective hunting tool.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: How Well Does This Electric Hunting Bike Perform In The Backcountry?

Image: ©Outsider

The RadRunner 2 electric bike might look more like a moped or a regular commuter ebike for on-road riding but don’t be fooled by this first impression.

Behind an unpretentious exterior lies a very well-designed and thought-through electric hunting and cargo bike.

It’s certainly very versatile which is why RAD Power Bikes calls it their “Jack of all trades”.

It’s a true workhorse and RAD has emphasized functionality and utility in building an ebike that performs very well indeed in a variety of different settings while being sold at a very attractive price point.

This affordable step-through hunting ebike is nothing fancy but it’s reliable, versatile, and good at what it does.

It’s comfortable to ride and probably will last a long time.

Versatility is good, but we want to know what the RadRunner 2 brings to the hunting table to make our hunting trips easier and more successful, right?

So, let’s dive into my Radrunner 2 electric utility bike review.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Hill Climbing Capabilities

Image: ©Outsider

Let’s start with hill climbing which is an important aspect of hunting and riding through the backcountry.

ElectricBikeReview tested the hill climbing capabilities of the RadRunner 2 and came to the very positive conclusion: “It’s not purposely designed to be an aggressive hill climber but it did it anyway”.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Motor

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

The RadRunner 2 is equipped with a powerful 750 W motor that is engineered by RAD and designed in-house.

It’s a geared rear hub motor which makes the RadRunner 2 easier to handle, more forgiving and more beginner-friendly.

This electric hunting bike has an intelligent 4-level pedal assist system coupled with a low-profile cadence sensor.

This setup allows you to go steeper at lower speeds which can be very beneficial especially if you’re carrying a lot of weight while riding over rough terrain.

The RadRunner 2 hunting ebike comes with a half-twist grip throttle and generally runs very quietly.

There seems to be no strain even when under high output.

750 W not enough for you? Read my review of the Best Electric Hunting Bike.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Brakes

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes

The RadRunner 2 electric hunting bike has TEKTRO mechanical disc brakes with 180 mm rotors at the front and rear wheels installed.

These high-quality brakes are easy to work on and set up.

They’re also super adjustable and super “tunable”.

That’s very important because the performance of a mechanical disc brake heavily depends on how well it’s tuned.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Off-Roading Capabilities

Image: ©Outsider

The RadRunner 2 was originally developed as a utility cargo bike. However, it’s perfectly equipped to offer some astounding off-road capabilities, too.

The powerful 750 W motor combined with exclusive Kenda tires give this ebike some good off-road capabilities. It can easily handle a light dirt trail or a fire road and it’s confident on mulch, grass, gravel, and sand.

When conducting the research for my Radrunner 2 electric utility bike review I fell in love with how nimble this electric hunting bike is.

Compared to the previous model, I only noticed a few changes.

The head tube is now just a little bit taller while the overall bike’s wheelbase is 1 inch longer. This makes the bike feel a little bit more stable, especially at speed. The ebike’s chainstay on the other hand is now 1/8 of an inch shorter.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Tires

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

The 20” x 3.3” exclusive Rad Power Bikes tires by Kenda K-Rad are smaller than your average fat tires but they have a nice tread with nice gaps and little knobs about 3 mm high for good traction.

These tires are puncture-resistant tires (4-ply with K-Shield puncture-resistant liner) that offer some nice dual-sport capabilities.

Please note that due to supply chain issues RAD Power Bikes might have to use tires with different branding.

The RadRunner electric hunting bike has aluminum rims with 36 holes and a width of 55 mm.

When tested in the field, the RadRunner 2 hunting ebike has proven itself to handle off-road terrain very well.

This ebike has great carving capabilities letting you explore any trails with hard-packed dirt, some leaves and branches, and even the occasional rocks.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Suspension

Image: ©Outsider

The RadRunner 2 electric hunting bike has a rigid steel fork with no suspension but the rear tire and the cushioned seat absorb a lot of the bumps.

However, you do feel a lot of vibration in the handlebar.

Given that this hunting ebike is much more affordable than other electric hunting bikes I guess that’s the kind of compromise one has to make.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Seat

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes, ©Outsider edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

The custom Rad Power Bikes moped-style saddle comes with extra padding, a fixed angle, and an integrated steel seat post.

This Millenium falcon style seat seems wider than usual and narrower or shorter from front to back.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Gearing

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes

The RadRunner 2 is a single-speed hunting ebike with no gearing.

It has a single-speed drive train with 52 teeth at the big front chain ring and a 16-tooth cog in the rear.

I would describe this as a medium setting comparable to gear 4 in a nine-gear setting.

This results in a nice “middle ground” gear ratio that’s comfortable on uphills and also when cruising on the flat. However, if you want an affordable electric hunting bike with a gearing system please read my article Best Hunting eBike Under $2000.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Cockpit

Image: ©Outsider

My Radrunner 2 electric utility bike review wouldn’t be complete without an in-depth look at the cockpit.

Just like the overall ebike, the cockpit of the RadRunner 2 hunting ebike is very functional without any unnecessary gadgets.

Image: ©Outsider

It features Rad Power Bike’s custom LED display which is kind of very minimalistic but provides you with all the necessary functions such as a light switch, power, pedal-assist up and down, and battery levels.

The handlebar is made out of aluminum with 686 mm width, and 10′ rise, which I’d consider “high rise”.

The grips are made of durable ergonomic rubber.

One feature I especially love about the RadRunner 2 cockpit is the bell that’s neatly integrated into the brake lever.

It’s a cute little detail that was quite unexpected and put a smile on my face.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Load Capabilities

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

The RadRunner 2 has a 6061 aluminum frame with a maximum weight capacity of an impressive 300 lb.

Given the very attractive price tag of this electric hunting bike it can carry about the same amount of weight as many of its premium peers.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Rack

While with some other hunting ebikes the rear rack has to be purchased separately and fixed to the ebike manually, I like the fact that the RadRunner 2 comes with a Rear rack that’s already integrated into the rear frame giving it a much greater payload capacity.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Range Capabilities

Image: ©Outsider edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

Depending on your style of hunting, the range you can cover with your electric hunting bike on a single battery charge might be more or less important to you.

However, it’s always good to know that you’re not running out of power unexpectedly, right?

According to Rad Power Bikes the RadRunner 2 can travel up to 25-45+ miles per charge.

The team from ElectricBikeReport has put this to the test and they found the following results:

• When riding in Pedal Assist level 2 they managed to travel 46.65 miles with an average speed of 14.7 mph.
• When riding in Pedal Assist level 4 they managed to travel 31.06 miles with an average speed of 16.7 mph.

These are quite impressive numbers and the range is probably enough for most hunting scenarios.

By bringing along a second battery you can, of course, always double your range as well.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Battery

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

The RadRunner 2 comes equipped with a solid 48 V 14 Ah battery that’s mounted right behind the seat post and delivers a total of 672 Wh.

Given my earlier assumption that 1 mile consumes approximately 20 Wh of energy, a single battery charge would give a theoretical range of 33.6 miles without pedaling.

The RadRunner also comes with the 48V, 2 Amp Rad Power Bikes smart charger that operates on 100V-240V AC power outlets.

The controller on the RadRunner 2 is Rad Power Bikes’ very own controller with 48 V and 750 W.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Speed Capabilities

Image: ©Outsider

While speed might not be the most important factor for an electric hunting bike, I want to include it in my Radrunner 2 electric utility bike review.

• The RadRunner 2 is originally designed as a cargo bike, i.e. a bike that can carry a lot of weight, gear, and hunt. It’s not designed as a speed racer.

I like the nice throttle power to help you pull off from zero or stand still.

The RadRunner 2’s top speed is 20 mph but, in the highest pedal-assist mode (4) it’s rather difficult to pedal fast enough to get more than 14-15 mph (because of the lack of any gearing).

You probably don’t want to ride much faster anyway when you’re carrying a lot of weight across some rough terrain, right?

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: RadRunner 2 Upgrades and Mods

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes

The RadRunner 2 electric hunting bike comes equipped with

• composite platform pedals with reflectors,
• CrMo axle,
• standard 9/16″ x 20 TPI threading and
• 50 mm + 30º (15 mm rise) STEM.

It’s also equipped to support a large variety of accessories and add-ons.

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes

You can choose to add the extremely useful center console for superb storage of your gear.

Image: ©Outsider

We’ve already discussed the strength of the rear rack that comes with your RadRunner 2 as standard. You can purchase reliable Fremont pannier bags that can easily be attached to and removed from the rack if you don’t want to carry a backpack while riding.

Image: ©Outsider

The rack also supports a sturdy bench that can be used as a scooter-style seating if you wanted to take a passenger along with you.

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes

To give your passenger something to hold on to, you might also want to add these sturdy passenger bars.

Image: ©RAD Power Bikes

For the front of your electric hunting bike you have a plethora of options as well.

Image: ©Outsider edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike.com

Overall, the RadRunner 2 fat tire electric bike gives you the ability to customize it to perfectly fit your hunting needs.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Can You Transport This Hunting eBike In Your Truck?

With a total weight of 65 lb (29.5 kg) and the battery weighing approximately 7.7 lb (3.5 kg) the RadRunner 2 is about as light or as heavy as many of the other high-performance electric hunting bikes on the market.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Legal And Money Matters

Warranties and guarantees differ quite widely between different brands of electric hunting bikes which is why I think it’s necessary to talk about them briefly in this Radrunner 2 electric utility bike review. Please note that the information in this review is accurate at the time of writing it but things might change in the future. So, please make sure you always check before making your purchase.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Warranties

The RadRunner 2 electric hunting bike comes with a 1-year warranty.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Money Back Guarantee

You can even try the Radrunner 2 hunting ebike risk-free for 14 days thanks to Rad Power Bike’s 14-day Free Trial offer.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: What I Like The Most

• Dual leg, spring loaded, steel kickstand, which makes working on tires much easier
• Integrated front and rear lights, integrated with battery
• Cables are nicely wrapped to give a more neat and organized look

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: What I Like The Least

• Half twist grip throttle.

There’s nothing wrong with a twist throttle but I am not a big fan of it myself. I think it’s just too easy to accidentally twist the throttle when walking next to your hunting ebike with the hands on the handlebar grips. Once you had that experience you’d probably be more inclined to agree with me.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Who Should Buy The RadRunner 2?

Image: ©Outsider

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: Available Sizes

The RadRunner 2 electric hunting bike comes with a single frame size of 18” and a Stand Over Height of 16.5”.

RAD Power Bikes recommends the RadRunner 2 for hunters with a body height between 4’11” – 6’2″ and an InSeam between 26.75” – 37”.

Radrunner 2 Electric Utility Bike Review: My Conclusion

I hope you found this Radrunner 2 electric utility bike review helpful in discovering what exactly this amazing electric hunting bike brings to the hunting table.

Please let me know if I missed any important aspect so that I can further improve this Radrunner 2 electric utility bike review to help more hunters along the way.

The post RadRunner 2 Electric Hunting And Utility Bike Review first appeared on Electric Hunting Bike.

Would you like to discover why the QuietKat Apex electric hunting bike offers the performance you need when hunting, fishing, camping, and exploring?

If you do, I wrote this QuietKat Apex review specifically for you.

Keep on reading to find out exactly what the QuietKat Apex can do for you and your hunting lifestyle.

QuietKat Apex Review: How Does This Electric Hunting Bike Perform In The Wild?

Image: ©Quietkat

Apex is QuietKat’s top-of-the-line hardtail model featuring everything you’d expect from a QuietKat electric hunting bike but in the “hardtail” version.

This electric hunting bike is equipped with QuietKat’s highest-end component package.

According to their tagline: “hunt, fish, camp and explore” the Apex hunting ebike offers the performance you need.

The QuietKat is first and foremost designed to offer great utility and great power when riding off-road, on private land or in areas where you don’t have the typical 3-class ebike restrictions.

However, if you want to use your QuietKat Apex also on the road, QuietKat offers this very capable electric hunting bike with a compliant 750 W motor, too.

But in this QuietKat Apex review, we’ll talk hunting.

Continue reading to see how well the Apex electric hunting bike performs under more challenging conditions.

QuietKat Apex Review Of Its Hill Climbing Capabilities

Image: ©Quietkat

The Apex is QuietKat’s most powerful hardtail electric hunting bike.

This ebike doesn’t just manage to get up that hill. It excels at this task.

When testing the Apex hunting ebike in the field (actually on the road, but you know what I’m saying) Electric Bike Report and We Tried It both found that the Apex was able to accelerate when riding up a hill.

The Apex by QuietKat is a very nice and pleasant climbing bike that lets you, the hunter, tackle steep climbs and rugged, moderately steep descents with confidence.

QuietKat Apex Electric Hunting Bike Review Of The Motor

Image: ©Quietkat Edited by Electric-Hunting-Bike

The motor is the most important and most expensive part of any hunting eBike which is why we take a close look at it in the next section of this QuietKat Apex review.

The Apex electric bike for hunting comes with 2 motor options: 750 W and 1000 W Bafang motors.

QuietKat Apex Motor Review: Mid-Drive Motor Pros And Cons

Both are mid-drive motors that are usually superior in off-road and hill climbing performance compared to similar hub-drive motors.

However, if you’ve read some of my other reviews you might have learned that mid-drive motors are less forgiving and require a steeper learning curve for the beginner.

That’s because a mid-drive motor moves the chain itself (unlike a hub-drive motor that only turns the wheel without moving the chain).

The advantage is that all of the motor’s torque is transferred through the drive train to the rear wheel (hence the better hill-climbing capabilities).

The issue with this often arises when less experienced riders try to shift gears. Because this ebike has so much power it can easily bend the chain, the cassette, or even the front chain ring if you’re not careful.

QuietKat Apex Motor Review: Special Protective Feature

The Apex has a fantastic safety feature that aims to eliminate this issue.

When shifting gears, the torque sensor picks up that change, cuts the motor for a split second, and allows the bike to shift gears under much less power.

I cannot overstate how big of an improvement that is.

QuietKat Apex Motor Review: Eco Mode And Sport Mode

The QuietKat Apex electric hunting bike can be used in 2 different modes: Eco-mode and
Sport-mode. The latter provides even more power while also draining the battery slightly faster.

For each of these 2 modes, you can choose between 5 levels of pedal assist, giving you effectively 10 different motor settings to handle any situation that comes your way.

QuietKat Apex Motor Review: Walk-Assist Mode

Another great feature of the Apex is QuietKat’s “walk-assist” mode.

This setting moves your Apex hunting ebike at approximately 3 mph. It’s ideal if you’re hauling a lot of gear or your big game back to your truck across rough terrain that you don’t feel confident riding across.

With the “walk-assist” mode you can easily walk next to your ebike (with your hands on the handlebar, of course) while the bike is moving all that weight for you.

QuietKat Apex Electric Hunting Bike Review Of The Brakes

Having a powerful motor also requires some powerful brakes.

QuietKat has equipped their Apex electric hunting bike with strong Tektro 4-Piston Hydraulic brakes that help you stop your hunting ebike when you need to.

These brakes also allow you to descend challenging declines with more confidence.

QuietKat Apex Review Of Its Off-Roading Capabilities

Image: ©Quietkat

In the next section of this QuietKat Apex review, we investigate the different components that influence the off-road performance of this great hunting companion.

With the QuietKat Apex you can tackle tough terrains such as soft sand or snow and even hard-pack trails and rocks.

QuietKat Apex Electric Hunting Bike Review Of The Tires

This is accommodated by some great fat tires.

The small frame size comes with high-quality 24’’ x 4’’ fat tires while the medium and large size frames are fitted with 26’’ x 4.5’’ fat tires.

QuietKat Apex Electric Hunting Bike Review Of The Suspension

The suspension on the QuietKat Apex electric hunting bike deserves some special attention.

QuietKat is using a technology that, to my knowledge, not many other hunting ebike brands have included in their models.

First of all, the Apex is a hardtail electric bike for hunting, which means there’s no suspension at the rear wheel.

That’s not an issue for me personally at all but if you prefer a full-suspension electric hunting bike you might want to consider the QuietKat Jeep or the QuietKat Ridgerunner.

Back to the Apex.

QuietKat Apex Suspension Review: Inverted Adjustable Air Suspension Fork

At the front fork, QuietKat is using what’s called an Inverted Adjustable Air Suspension Fork (also known as Moto style fork) with 150 mm travel.

In the following part of this QuietKat Apex review, I’ll explain what that means and why it’s a big deal.

In layman’s terms in a traditional front-end suspension fork, the smaller stanchions are on the top and the bigger stanchions are on the bottom.

In an inverted front suspension fork it’s as the word says “inverted”, i.e. the other way around. You have the bigger stanchions on the top (closer to the handlebar) and the smaller stanchions at the bottom closer to the axle of the front wheel.

This is much more similar to a suspension on a dirt bike or a motorcycle (hence “moto style suspensions”).

QuietKat Apex Suspension Review: Advantages

Numerous advantages result from this setup.

Because the part that is moving when you’re hitting a bump is smaller (the smaller stanchions at the bottom) there’s less unsprung weight.

This gives a remarkably stable, stiff responsive, and stout front end.

This fork doesn’t allow any sort of wallowing in the front end, especially when traveling at higher speeds or around corners.

With some conventional fat tire ebikes, the front fork, especially the narrower gauge ones, can sometimes struggle when turning the front wheel over, making it hold the line and change direction at higher speeds.

The four inches of rubber combined with a very big stout rim can produce a lot of rotational mass that wants to stand up straight and spin so there’s kind of a constant battle taking place between them and the front fork.

The Inverted Adjustable Air Suspension Fork on the QuietKat Apex is winning that fight, giving the hunter much more control and confidence in handling this powerful hunting ebike.

However, if you prefer full suspension check out some other bikes in my review of the Best Electric Hunting Bike.

QuietKat Apex Electric Hunting Bike Review Of The Gearing

The next section of this QuietKat Apex review is dedicated to the gearing of the Apex electric hunting bike.

Since the Apex has such a powerful mid-drive motor that uses the drivetrain to power the rear wheel in all situations, it also needs a powerful drivetrain and cassette to handle the potentially destructive power of the motor.

That’s why the QuietKat Apex electric hunting bike comes equipped with a very capable SRAM X5 derailleur with a nine-speed cassette.

This allows the Apex’s powerful mid-drive motor to take advantage of the full range of gears to produce maximum torque to get you and your gear up and down steep mountain trails without difficulties.

QuietKat Apex Electric Hunting Bike Review Of The Cockpit

I really like the wider handlebars of the Apex hunting ebike.

These are typically more common on mountain bikes and they make the ride much more stable, especially on more difficult and rough terrain.

QuietKat Apex Review Of Its Load Capabilities

Image: ©Quietkat

The QuietKat Apex can carry a total weight of 325 lbs which is probably more than enough for most hunters including their gear and game.

QuietKat Apex Electric Hunting Bike Review Of The Rack

I have included the rack of the QuietKat Apex hunting eBike in this QuietKat Apex review because QuietKat did a really good job with it in my opinion.

Unlike some other electric hunting bikes that require you to purchase a rear rack separately and then mount it to your bike yourself, the Apex by QuietKat features an integrated Panier Rack that’s not only color-matched, of course, but more importantly, allows you to strap everything you need for your hunting trip.

This integrated rear rack can carry up to 100 lbs which are plenty considering you can also attach a trailer if you need to haul more weight than that.

However, sometimes an ebike can become more difficult to handle the more weight you attach to it.

QuietKat Apex Integrated Rack Review: Advantages

This is especially true when you’re starting to move a heavily loaded ebike from zero, i.e. from standing still.

That’s why the integrated Panier rack on the Apex was built to keep that weight centered over the top of the rear wheel.

As a result, carrying this type of weight with the Apex electric hunting bike is much easier and more controllable.

It’s a great addition to this hunting ebike.

QuietKat Apex Review Of Its Range Capabilities

Range and battery power are two important yet quite difficult topics that I’ll briefly cover in this QuietKat Apex review.

I consider them difficult because when used to compare the performance of two different electric hunting bikes, they only have limited meaningfulness.

That’s because the range you can achieve depends on so many different factors that an accurate prediction is not possible at all.

You should use any estimated guidance only as a rough guide to help you in your decision-making.

According to QuietKat, the Apex hunting ebike has a range of 24 – 48 miles.

QuietKat Apex Electric Hunting Bike Review Of The Battery

The 750 W model has a battery with 48 V and 16 Ah. This results in a total of 768Wh.

The 1000 W model has a battery with 52 V and 17.5 Ah resulting in a whopping 910 Wh.

The batteries are made up of premium Panasonic lithium cells and weigh 10 lbs and 12 lbs.

Using my general assumption that 1 mile consumes 20 Wh you can expect a theoretical range of 38.4 and 45.5 miles respectively, all on a single charge and without pedaling.

That’s ample and on a standard charger or solar charger the battery can be fully recharged in approximately 6-8 hours.

With the pathfinder rapid charger, you can significantly reduce this time to 3-6 hours of charging time.

QuietKat Apex Review Of Its Speed Capabilities

The QuietKat Apex 1000 W electric hunting bike comes without any speed restrictions while the 750 W model has a top speed that’s limited to 20 mph.

QuietKat Apex Review: How To Transport Your Electric Hunting Bike

To bring your Apex hunting ebike along, you can simply put it on your truck bed.

However, bearing in mind that this ebike weighs about 71 lbs you can also use a bike trailer to make loading and unloading our electric hunting bike even easier.

QuietKat Apex Review: Other Useful Upgrades And Addons

The Apex electric hunting bike by QuietKat comes in 3 different color options for you to choose from: “Evergreen” and “Veil Caza Camo” and “True Timber Camo”.

It also comes with a customizable LED display.

QuietKat Apex Review: Warranties, Financing, And More

In the following part of the QuietKat Apex review, I’ll briefly summarize some of the warranties, guarantees, and financing options you can expect.

QuietKat Apex Review Of Its Warranties

QuietKat offers a 1-year warranty on all components and the frame even has a lifetime warranty.

QuietKat Apex Review Of Its Money Back Guarantee

You can try the Apex electric hunting bike for 30 days and up to 10 miles completely risk-free.

That’s possible thanks to the “30-Day Risk-Free Trial (30 DAY, 10 MILE MAX)” offered by QuietKat.

QuietKat Apex Review Of Its Financing Options

If you prefer to pay for your new Apex hunting ebike in installments I have good news for you.

QuietKat and some other online retailers have partnered with Affirm and PayPal to offer a seamless payment experience and convenient installment plans that you can choose during the checkout process on the respective websites.

QuietKat Apex Review: Who Should Buy This Electric Hunting Bike

No QuietKat Apex review would be complete without covering some important aspects that could have a major influence on your decision about which electric hunting bike to buy.

QuietKat Apex Review Of Its Size

Image: ©Quietkat

The Apex hunting electric bike by QuietKat comes in 3 different frame sizes to accommodate a variety of rider heights.

The SMALL frame is 15.5’’,
the MEDIUM frame is 17’’ and
the LARGE frame is 19’’.

The SMALL version has a Stand Over Height of 26.5’’.
The MEDIUM version has a Stand Over Height of 29.5’’.
The LARGE version has a Stand Over Height of 30.5’’.

QuietKat Apex Review Of Its Legal Compliance

The laws regulating the usage of electric bicycles in the United States are evolving rapidly to keep up with the surging demand.

However, laws and regulations differ not just from state to state but also from region to region.

Always inform yourself about the legal situation before taking your electric hunting bike for a ride.

Quietkat Apex 750 Review: eBike Law Compliance

The Apex 750 W hunting ebike by QuietKat Class comes pre-set as a Class 2 electric bike.

That means it comes with a 750 W motor, with a top speed of 20 mph, and can be operated by a throttle.

What’s great is the throttle can be removed, turning your Class 2 ebike into a Class 1 ebike without a throttle.

This can allow you to use your Apex electric hunting bike on the road and on many trails that are only accessible by bicycles, for example.

Quietkat Apex 1000 Review: eBike Law Compliance

The QuietKat Apex 1000 W electric hunting bike is too powerful to be classified as either a Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 ebike.

Instead, it’s designed and intended to be ridden on private land, in areas that are open to motorized vehicles, or in places that don’t have those regulations in place yet.

If in doubt always inform yourself through a qualified legal professional before you start riding to represent the hunting community well and avoid any other legal issues.

QuietKat Apex Review: My Conclusion

I hope you found this QuietKat Apex Review helpful in discovering what exactly this amazing electric hunting bike brings to the hunting table.

Summarise the main findings about the Bakcou Storm.

Please let me know if I missed any important aspect so that I can further improve this QuietKat Apex Review to help more hunters along the way.

Interested in the Jeep fat tire electric hunting bike by QuietKat? Then dive right into this in-depth QuietKat Jeep eBike review to uncover all the secrets of this amazing hunting eBike.

Keep on reading to get into the know about this iconic and very capable hunting companion and how it can help you elevate your hunting game.

QuietKat Jeep eBike Review: How Well Does This Electric Hunting Bike Perform In The Backcountry?

Image: ©QuietKat

The QuietKat Jeep electric hunting bike is an amazing hunting ebike that will take you pretty much anywhere you want to go.

It was developed by QuietKat in partnership with JEEP, probably one of the most iconic off-road brands on the planet.

As you will find out throughout this QuietKat Jeep bike review, a lot of thought went into the design of this hunting electric bike.

The suspension design combined with the geometry design results in an electric hunting bike that’s just enormous fun to ride.

It’s a very stable and balanced ebike even at higher speeds across challenging terrain and around corners in large part due to the suspension and inverted front fork

There are a lot of serious mountain bike components on this ebike that I’ll mention a little bit later.

This mamboing hunting ebike is available in Charcoal or Matte Red.

The important question however is what does the Jeep by QuietKat bring to the hunting table that can give you an edge and a great hunting experience?

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review Climbing Hills

Image: ©QuietKat

Let’s start with, what’s undoubtedly one of the most important factors for many hunters. The hill climbing capabilities of the QuietKat Jeep.

ElectricBikeReport tested the QuietKat Jeep 1000 W electric hunting bike on a hill that’s a 1/3 of a mile long with a 12-degree gradient on average:

Riding with throttle only they climbed that hill in 1 min 8 sec with an average speed of 16 mph.

Riding with Pedal Assist Level 5 in Sport mode they climbed that same hill in 55 seconds with an average speed of 19.7 mph

According to them, the QuietKat Jeep hunting ebike is not just an astoundingly capable hill climber but also one of the fastest if not the fastest hill climbers they’ve tested so far.

the wide-range 9-speed drivetrain features an 11-42T cassette for maximum torque range to climb the steepest hills

QuietKat Jeep eBike Review Of The Motor

That’s not surprising considering the Jeep by QuietKat is equipped with the Bafang Ultra-Drive motor that comes either as a 750 Watt or a 1000 Watt version.

QuietKat calls it an “advanced, torque-sensor motor system”.

It’s an ultra mid-drive motor that can be used either in “Throttle-Only”, “Eco”, “Sport” or “Walk-Assist” mode.

With a peak power output of 1500 W and an astonishing 160 Nm of torque, this beast can climb hills, period.

The Jeep hunting ebike is also ridiculously fast and super fun to ride with a top speed that’s probably only limited by its gearing.

When preparing this QuietKat Jeep bike review I discovered how easily it rips on jeep roads, double track 4×4 roads, and any other terrain you throw at it.

With its superb power-to-weight ratio the Jeep hunting electric bike falls kind of like between more traditional electric bicycles and electric motorcycles.

It’s just an awesome hunting machine that can give you a tremendous edge on your next hunting trip.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review Of The Brakes

Image: ©QuietKat

Of course, with great power also comes great responsibility.

That means you also need very powerful brakes to match and if necessary control such a powerful motor.

The QuietKat Jeep electric hunting bike does not disappoint.

It comes fully equipped with Tektro 730 Dorado 4-Piston Hydraulic Disc Brakes.

These extremely powerful brakes are paired with 203 mm disc rotors at the front and the rear for maximum control and heat dissipation.

You’d usually see these types of rotors on racing downhill mountain bikes that require a tremendous amount of stopping power just like the Jeep does.

ElectricBikeReport tested the brakes on the QuietKat Jeep and found an average braking distance of 14 feet and 4 inches which according to them is shorter than the current average braking distance of all the electric bikes they’ve tested so far which is 15 feet and 10 or 11 inches.

They describe it as a good result for this relatively heavier and powerful fat tire electric hunting bike

Bearing in mind that the QuietKat Jeep is intended first and foremost for off-road riding it’s not fair to test its brakes on asphalt but ElectricBikeReport did it anyway.

They found that the tires in hard-breaking conditions on asphalt didn’t have as much stopping traction as they’d hoped for.

The tires skidded quite a bit. That’s not surprising since they’re designed for off-roading, right?

QuietKat Jeep eBike Review Off-Roading

Image: ©QuietKat

Earlier in this QuietKat Jeep bike review we already looked at the amazing hill climbing capabilities of the QuietKat Jeep electric hunting bike so it’s no surprise to learn that this amazing hunting eBike also excels at any off-road challenge you throw at it.

Imagine you can just get out of your truck at the trailhead and then start exploring the area with this full-suspension, fat-tire hunting e-bike.

It’s designed and built to keep you in complete control of even the most technical trails.

With the powerful motor combined with its confidence-boosting stopping power, you can tackle steep stuff, slick rock, pitches steep or loose, and big rock gardens alike.

The Jeep electric hunting bike by QuietKat Conquer can handle any technical off-road terrain while being great fun to ride.

Soft sand and snow or hard-packed trails and rock, the QuietKat Jeep lets you access even the most distant trails, hunting grounds, or camping areas without working up much of a sweat.

Due to the great suspension, tires, gearing system, geometry, and power this hunting beast is your best friend when riding in the backcountry, the forest, on the road, or in the canyon.

No matter what the weather conditions are, the Jeep hunting ebike by QuietKat is very grunt and capable.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review Of The Tires

Image: ©QuietKat

The QuietKat Jeep electric hunting bike features extra wide (some might even say oversized) all-terrain CST Roly Poly 26’’ x 4.8’’ fat tires.

These amazing tires have a super aggressive tread which is perfect for any type of off-roading.

They are capable of maintaining traction in steep terrain, sandy ground, snowy areas, and shallow mud.

The tires can be deflated down to as low as 8 lbs for added traction if necessary in any of these conditions.

QuietKat Jeep eBike Review Of The Suspension

Image: ©QuietKat

The QuietKat Jeep electric hunting bike is one of only a very few select premium hunting ebikes that have full suspension, i.e. suspension at both the front and the rear wheel.

The Jeep is equipped with a full-suspension frame and an inverted suspension fork. (Read my article Best Electric Hunting Bike if you prefer front suspension only.)

It features a QK Custom Inverted Air Shock Suspension fork in the front and a RockShox Monarch RL suspension in the rear, both with 150 mm of travel.

The Fire-Link suspension system is a true four-bar linkage, providing the ultimate traction, comfort, and capability.

The inverted front fork of the QuietKat Jeep resembles a dirt bike fork.

It’s a fairly legit suspension reminiscent of competitive mountain biking.

When researching this QuietKat Jeep bike review I found that opting for an inverted front fork was a great decision made by QuietKat.

Especially the extra wide tires produce a lot of rotational mass when braking and cornering so a more rigid or stable front fork was needed and found with the inverted one.

It provides for a much sturdier ride and dramatically increases the hand ability of this hunting behemoth.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review Of The Gearing

The QuietKat Jeep electric hunting bike is equipped with the SRAM X5 9-Speed drivetrain which I would describe as a lower to middle-tier drivetrain from SRAM.

It’s more of a mountain bike drivetrain that can handle a lot of the force and loads.

It especially gives you good crisp shifting on more technical terrain which is exactly what you want in a high-performance hunting ebike.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review Of The Cockpit

The QuietKat Jeep has a Thumb Throttle that can be removed if you want the 750 W model to operate as a Class 1 ebike, for example.

The display is a customizable LED display that matches the overall premium experience for the Jeep by QuietKat.

The handlebar is nice and wide and reminds me more of a mountain bike.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review Carrying Your Load

The QuietKat Jeep electric hunting bike has a load capacity of 300 lbs which is enough for most hunting purposes especially considering that you can always add one of QuietKat’s trailers if you’re hunting big game, for example.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review Range Performance

Image: ©QuietKat

According to QuietKat, the Jeep hunting ebike gives you an estimated range of 22 – 44 miles on a single battery charge. (up to 58 miles)

ElectricBikeReport has tested this claim in their regular range test with the following results:

In Sport mode and Pedal Assist Level (PAS) 5 they were able to cover a distance of 9.95 miles which they covered in just over 30 mins of ride time before the battery was empty.

When riding in Sport mode and Pedal Assist Level (PAS) 1 the distance traveled increased to 33.61 miles with a couple of hours (approx 2.5 hours) of riding time until the battery was empty.

While these are not bad times they highlight the fact that more power also comes with more energy consumption.

As a result, one of the recommendations of my QuietKat Jeep bike review is that you might want to bring a second battery along especially if you’re accessing difficult areas in the backcountry or planning for an overnight hunting trip.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review Of The Battery

The QuietKat Jeep hunting electric bike is equipped with a 48 V 14.5 Ah battery consisting of premium Panasonic lithium cells that provide a total of 696 Wh.

Based on my usual assumption of 1 mile eating up 20 Wh, this battery gives you a theoretical range of 34.8 miles on a single charge without any pedaling.

That’s pretty good but I would have preferred a bigger battery, especially for the 1000 W motor.

As you can see from the above test results when riding in Sport mode and higher Pedal Assist Level (PAS) you burn through the battery quite quickly which almost makes the fun too short-lived.

So, as a result of my in-depth QuietKat Jeep bike review, I believe the ratio between motor performance and battery capabilities could probably be improved further.

Of course, this can be easily remedied by bringing along a second battery so it’s not that big of a deal after all.

On a standard charger or a solar charger, it takes approximately 6-8 hours to fully recharge the battery. With the Pathfinder Rapid Charger, you can reduce the charge time to 3-6 hours.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review Top Speed

As I mentioned earlier in this QuietKat Jeep bike review, the QuietKat Jeep hunting electric bike comes either with a 750 W motor that is limited to a top speed of 20 mph to fall within the 3 Class electric bike classification system or with a 1000 W motor that has no speed limitations.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review: Ease Of Transportation

Image: ©QuietKat

The QuietKat Jeep electric hunting bike comes in 3 different frame sizes from 15.5’’ to 19’’ which is in line with other hunting ebikes.

Despite its very powerful motor, the Jeep hunting ebike by QuietKat only weighs in at 70 lbs which is comparable to many other regular ebikes.

This great power-to-weight ratio is one of the pillars of the Jeep’s outstanding performance.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review: Measurements

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review: Available Sizes

The QuietKat Jeep electric hunting bike comes in a SMALL, MEDIUM, or LARGE size to accommodate hunters with different heights.

The Small frame size measure 15.5’’, the Medium frame size measures 17’’ and the Large frame size measure 19’’.

QuietKat recommends the Small frame for hunters under 5’6”, the Medium size for hunters between 5’6″ – 6′ and the Large frame for hunters 6’+ tall.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review: Financial And Legal Aspects

Image: ©QuietKat

Financial and legal aspects are important considerations when choosing your next electric hunting bike I have dedicated a special section for them in my QuietKat Jeep bike review.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review: Does It Comply With eBike Laws?

One of the things I like about the QuietKat Jeep is that you can have it as a street-legal ebike or as an unrestricted hunting beast.

If you opt for the 750 W version you have an electric hunting bike that’s not just very capable and fun to ride but also complies with all Class 2 regulations for electric bikes under US Federal Law.

That means it has a throttle and a top speed of not more than 20 mph.

You can remove the throttle to have a hunting ebike that fulfills the requirements of a Class 1 ebike because it has a top speed of not more than 20 mph and the motor only provides support when the rider is pedaling.

I love the versatility this offers.

Of course, you can also opt for the 1000 W version but you should keep in mind that this is not a street-legal ebike.

It’s designed specifically to be used on OHV areas and private land or anywhere else where you can legally use a non-street legal dirt bike.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review: What Warranty Can You Expect

QuietKat offers the Jeep electric hunting bike with a lifetime frame warranty and a 1-year warranty for all other bike components for extra peace of mind.

QuietKat Jeep Bike Review: What Money Back Guarantee Do You Get

You can even test ride the QuietKat Jeep for 30 days and up to 10 miles and return it to get your money back in the unlikely event that you decide the Jeep is not for you.

QuietKat even pays for the shipping both ways.

So, you can try it without any financial risk.

I think that’s a really good offer.
