Hunters looking for a stealthy ride to access their most secret outback honey-holes can now choose from two new e-bikes. QuietKat’s most popular electric fat bike, the Apex, has been overhauled for 2020 with an all-new integrated battery and motor system and updated frame geometry. It has a 12mm thru-axle on the rear, and sealed bearings in both front and rear hubs for smooth operation in all weather conditions. Other features include an adjustable air suspension, four-piston hydraulic brakes and a nine-speed drivetrain. The Apex is powered by a mid-drive motor paired with wide-range gearing to provide maximum torque for climbing steep hills and navigating rugged terrain.
Also new for 2020, is Jeep’s first-ever e-Bike — a marriage of QuietKat’s engineering and technology paired with Jeep’s rugged off-road legacy. Powered by a 750W electric motor that delivers 160nm of torque, the Jeep e-Bike is built on a fat-tire platform and features four bar linkage as part of its 120mm Fire-Link suspension system paired with a 150mm inverted fork providing excellent traction and control over the roughest terrain. A wide-range drivetrain delivers all of the torque needed to climb steep hills and reach speeds up to 20 mph. Tektro four-piston hydraulic disk brakes matched with 203mm rotors provide effective stopping power. The Jeep e-Bike is compatible with QuietKat’s full range of accessories.
MSRP: $4,629-$5,377/Apex; Starting at $5,899/Jeep e-Bike. Contact: www.quietkat.com
