QUIET KAT BIKE REVIEW- horribly disappointed!!!

[gunrunr]

In the price range of the $1299-$1999, what is the best reliable bike for the average hunter?

I would point you towards a Rambo Savage - Mid-drive motor so a lot more torque and hill climbing power than a rear hub only bike - We have two different colors in stock - $1999 professionally assembled and ready to go with service to back it up

How many watts is that one?

 

[gunrunr]

750 watt mid-drive

If you want to ride your bike on the streets and bike paths - a cheaper hub-drive is fine.
If you want to climb hills without pedaling - get a mid-drive
If you want to go completely off the path & up steeper hills - then get a bigger 1000W mid-drive or go All-Wheel-Drive.

I bought 2 Rambo Ebike from gunrunr 3 years ago and they have been great bikes, have not had any issues with either bike, Battery has held charge great. Wife and I will take them to bike trails across Iowa during the summer and have been able to go easy 30 + miles while using 20% assisted power & still have up to 40-50% when we get back to the truck.
I know if I ever had an issue gunrunr would take care of me.

Several years ago I purchased a QuietKat at Scheels, very 1st time I took it to my hunting grounds the rear hub stripped out. Took it back to Scheels the same day and they quickly diagnosed the issue, at that point I had lost all confidence in the bike, especially considering what the thing cost, was thankful to have purchased it at Scheels, no problem returning it. I would assume that the weak part has been redesigned by now.

I am buying a QuietKat from a buddy but after reading this post I'm a little concerned. His bike is about 6 years old and only has 12 hours on it. He says the battery lasts a long time. It's a 750W and mid drive. I'm getting it cheap and I hope it works ok. New batteries for this bike are $700, so not cheap.

I am now a Rambo Certified Warranty Provider with several common parts on hand and have purchased diagnostic tools like a special E-bike battery tester. Gives more peace of mind when you purchase your bikes here that they are set-up correctly and we can fix them if you break something.
