Description:
Hunting is difficult. Whether you're after whitetail, turkey, elk, pronghorn, elk or feral hog, getting to where the animals are productive can be a bear game. Steep roads, rocky hills, muddy single track and more can ruin even the best plans.<br/><br/>That's why e-bikes have become so popular in the hunting world, and QuietKat's new Ranger AWD might be the coolest of the bunch.<br/><br/>Now, the name sorta tells the story as it is a two-wheel drive e-bike. Powering the front is an electric hub motor, while at the rear a separate motor connected to the bike's chain drive offers the rider full-time AWD. This is ideal for situations where the surface is loose, wet, snowy or muddy.<br/><br/>The motors themselves are dual 750W units connected to a Panasonic's 17.25ah, 48V battery, good for between 29 and 52 miles depending on pedal use and load. The single-speed chain drive connects the pedals to the rear wheel, sort of like a stabilizer, but is designed to reduce the potential for overall problems in the field. Fewer components to break means fewer components to break when you need it most.<br/><br/>This gets even better, however, as QuietKat has designed the entire system to reduce the torque steer common on two-wheel drive bikes, and also gives the rider the ability to choose which motor they want to send power to.<br/><br/>According to QuietKat, “Ranger AWD's all-wheel drive feature, enabled by a unique control scheme, minimizes the front-wheel “pull” commonly experienced on AWD bikes, delivering better traction, more power, and ultimately more fun.” “Ranger AWD's engine selector switch allows drivers to switch between front, rear and both engines, adapting to a variety of driving conditions and preferences,” the company added. This selectability will be huge in terms of saving battery power against using torque when needed in the countryside.<br/><br/>Fat Kenda tires get you through any challenge, and the RST suspension helps reduce stress over bumps and off-road. Dual-piston hydraulic brakes stop you when a bear crosses your path. There's also a cargo rack in the back, perfect for carrying packages or game from the woods.<br/><br/>As for the price, the QuietKat Ranger AWD will set you back $3,499, which isn't that expensive for the e-bike world. Additionally, the Ranger AWD in Sonic Veil gray or Cumbre Camo will help you blend in with everything around you except the snow...<br/><br/><br/>Source: https://www.rideapart.com/news/712447/quietkat-ranger-awd-e-bike-hunting/
