• The width of the tires allows you to ride over all kinds of terrain, especially the forest floor silently. Riding on dirt, leaves, grass, sand, and snow is no problem.
• While you are riding you’ll be supported by the Cyrusher’s 500 watt specialized motor. This motor is powered by a waterproof Panasonic 48 volt 10.4ah lithium water bottle battery.
• You can change the battery while leaving it connected to your bike or you can remove it and take it anywhere you like to charge it up.
• Using the full power of the battery and without pedaling hunters will be able to ride up to 30 to 40 miles into the woods and back. Plus you can ride at a speed of up to 25mph. There are 3 modes to choose from, twist throttle, power pedal assisted, and pedal only.
• If you need more power Cyrusher does make other fat bike versions which can handle a 750 watt and 1000 watt power source.
  Hunters hunting in more hilly and mountainous areas can choose from 7 Shimano gears to shift into. Shifting from one gear to another is easy and secure, no chains getting stuck or slipping.
• One rider explained that after 12 miles of riding he still has 75% power left in the battery.
• A second rider described the bike to be very comfortable to ride. He rode the fat tires on all types of terrain. The battery stayed full longer than he expected. The front suspension can be locked for riding in town and unlocked for riding on the trails or in the forest.

2. Ecotric Fat Tire Electric Mountain Bike

The Ecotric fat tire bike will have you at your favorite hunting grounds fast. The bike can go up to 23mph. Plus you’ll be able to get there without scaring away any deer.

The wheels on the bike are 26 inches. The width of the tread on the wheels is 4 inches wide. These 4 inches really improve the grip you will have on all types of terrain compared to a regular mountain bike. You as a hunter will be able to slip in and out unnoticed because you won’t skid or slide on the terrain.

This bike weighs only 58 pounds and can handle up to 260 pounds. So you can carry all your hunting gear easily.

The Ecotric is powered with a 500 watt rear hub motor battery. It is removable so you can charge it using its 36 volt lithium cell with smart lithium battery charger. There are battery lock and power lock functions for security.

The battery lasts a long time. You can recharge the battery up to around 600 times before it might need replacing. You can ride up to 25 miles without needing to pedal. You can also use the battery and pedal at the same time, as well as only pedal.

One rider explained that the motor is quiet and powerful. If you set the level to five you will go from 0 to 21 mph very fast. You will get there even faster by using pedal assist.

A second rider said the battery locks in place and can be removed easily with a key. This keeps the battery secure. You can charge the battery anywhere you like. Using the included extension cable you can plug it into the bike and charge the bike while it is parked in the garage.

For hunters that hunt during dawn and dusk the display is back-lit for nighttime rides. The display includes mph, bike odometer, and the number of charge cycle counts.

The Ecotric uses Tektro Novela mechanical disc 160mm rotor brakes for the front and the rear wheels. Slowing down smoothly and silently is just what hunters need.

On occasion while riding hunters may notice some game off in the distance. This is where great shifting comes into play. You’ll need to shift up to faster and faster gears quickly. This bike uses Shimano 7 gear shifting system which gets you to those faster gears without any mistakes.

For added safety this bike is equipped with motor inhibitors on the brakes. When you press on the brakes it cuts the power supply to the motor. This effectively turns off the motor. This is especially useful during an emergency and when you want to stop as silently as possible.

3. QuietKat Warrior Fat Bike

• The QuietKat is a great fat bike to go out hunting with. You can carry all your hunting gear and go up to 25mph without pedaling. Plus the distance you can go at this speed is 18 miles. That is 9 miles into the woods and 9 miles back out. This allows you to cover a lot of ground in order to hunt.
• Supporting you is a powerful 1000 watt mid drive motor. There is also a 750 watt model. You can easily recharge the battery using its 48 volt lithium-ion battery.
• If you want to increase the area that you can cover then just use one of the pedal assist modes. When you pedal while also using the battery you can then ride up to 30 to 40 miles. This is especially helpful if you are hunting deer.
• In order to hunt effectively you need to get into position quickly and quietly. The QuietKat uses a mid drive motor which is sealed in a case to allow silent operation.
• So whether you are getting into position or pursuing an animal, you’ll be able to do so stealthily and silently.
• This bike uses 26 inch tires and the width of the tires is 4 inches. Four inch wide tires make a lot of contact with the ground which greatly increases the grip.
• Plus these tires have knobs on them. This improves the grip even more whether you are going over rocks, roots, sand, snow, gravel or wet leaves.
• If you get the 1000 watt model then your bike will have hydraulic disc brakes. The fluid in the tubes pushes the brake pads closed so the bike stops. This type of brake system allows the braking power to be modulated more effectively compared to mechanical brakes.
  Braking is done more smoothly and gradually. There are no sudden jarring movements when stopping.
• Being able to choose the right gear quickly and easily when going uphill or downhill is critical when you are on the hunt. QuietKat has 8 gears from which to choose from. You can cycle up and down the gears one by one fast. You don’t have to worry about the chain getting stuck or slipping.
• A hidden benefit of using the QuietKat as a hunter is odor prevention. When you are approaching animals on your bike your feet will not make contact with the ground. You won’t leave any of your body scent behind.
• A second way this bike helps to prevent odor is by stopping you from sweating. By using the throttle mode you can just sit on your bike without pedaling. You won’t have to break a sweat until you are in position and the real hunting begins.

4. Addmotor Motan Electric Fat Mountain Bike

The Addmotor Motan fat bike is a comfortable bike for hunters who have a lot of hunting gear to carry. The saddle of this bike is wide and comfortable. There is a quick release lever which allows the saddle to be adjusted whenever you want without any tools.

The Addmotor Motan can handle and support up to 300 pounds. Depending on your body weight this gives you lots of weight to use to carry your hunting gear.

Powering this weight through the forest is a Bafang 500 watt geared hub motor located in the back wheel. Hunters can get to their hunting ground at a top speed of 23mph without pedaling.

Riding at a top speed of 23mph keeps this bike at a class 2 level. This makes it more legal to ride in more areas than a bike that is classified as class 3 or class 4. If you want to go faster you can start pedaling. You can travel 40 to 55 miles per charge.

One rider explained that this electric mountain bike for hunting lives up to the information it was advertised as. The Addmotor Motan is large, quick, and fun to ride especially when riding uphill.

Hunters tracking animals uphill can use pedal assist to more easily go up tough climbs when they need to.

A second rider thought the bike was easy to put together. He suggested if you have a rack to let the professionals do it unless you are very handy. Addmotor does not charge you to add a rack. They will reply back even on Saturday or Sunday.

The third rider I talked to liked the digital dash a lot. Thought the wheels were aligned very well, thought the same thing about the chain sprocket. It made no noise. Even on fat tires the rider thought the bike tracks straight and steers even easily.

If you are a tall hunter don’t worry, the wheels are 26 inches but because they are fat tires they are more like 28 inches. The tire rubber is tall. 28 inches will help the hunter roll over rocks, roots, and fallen branches more easily and silently without scaring any animals away.

This bike weighs 68 pounds and is equipped with Tektro Aries mechanical brakes. The brakes have 180mm rotors in the front and back. You’ll be able to stop smoothly and quickly without making any noise.

The brake levers are big 4 finger levers with rubber edges so you have a lot of room to squeeze the brakes and modulate how you stop.

• The battery comes with a charger and it should take 2 to 4 hours to fully charge. You can recharge the battery up to 1000 times. In order to achieve this don’t let the battery go below 30% charged.

• The weight of the DJ fat bike with the battery is just 57 pounds. The battery is around 10 pounds.
