I’ve been wanting an e-bike for a LONG time. I’m at the stage of life where time is scarce and efficiency is king, and on countless hunts and scouting missions, I’ve daydreamed about a set of wheels to get me in and out more quickly.
I’m not a bike guy, but I am a gear guy. I happily started the research process, and I quickly determined that I valued durability, function, and dependability above all else. I didn’t need fancy accessories or top-of-the-line components, and e-bike regulations in my state required a motor of 750 watts or less. Battery performance was a top consideration, too. On the rare extended trip I do get to take, I don’t always have the ability to top-off or recharge batteries. I happily found the QuietKatRanger XR – a bike that, on paper, met all my needs perfectly.
I’ve spent a few months with the Ranger XR, and I’ve used it to hunt turkeys and scout for upcoming fall seasons. I’ve been really impressed, and I’ve had a ton of fun.
This thread will serve as the discussion thread for my review. In the meantime:
