What is great about attending the Surf Expo surfing lifestyle trade show it is like a scene from Forest Gump "My mama always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.'" I never expected to see a booth with fat tire electric hunting bikes on display.
Rambo Motor Bikes were showing off their very popular fat tire electric fat tire bike at Surf Expo.
To bring a buzz to their booth they had two bikini clad swimsuit models riding around the show floor riding one of the Rambo all black electric fat tire bikes. That is where I first saw the bike in action. I later returned to the booth and spoke with Kyle Dillon from the Alliance Outdoor Group (AOG). AOG is a company that owns numerous outdoor brands like Rambo Motor Bikes. During my conversation with Kyle he gave me the rundown on their fat tire electric hunting bikes.
He explained how the bike could reach speeds of 20 mph depending on the terrain and that a full charges battery could take the rider on a ride of 15-20 miles also depending on the terrain. I asked about the hill climbing capability of the bike. Kyle said that being that the company was from Apple Valley, MN, they had field tested in all sorts of hunting and off road environments and the bike performed as exceptionally. Now knowing they were from the north country, I asked about snow where he said it works great in the snow. Click HERE for the fat tire motor bike's specifications.
After spending time with the AOG Rambo team, I could see that a motorized fat tire bike could be a great addition to one's garage along with your other hunting and off road gear.
Returning home after the show I did a little research into electric fat tire bikes. There are numerous brands on the market that offer this kind bicycle. Some are only for street use and some can be rode in the back country. When selecting the brand for you be sure that the bike can be peddled. A dead battery is a long walk home if you cannot peddle the bike. Also be sure to check out the bike's suspension system if it has one. Riding off road with a hard tail and not front fork shocks can make for a long day.
So when you are thinking about your outdoor adventures, an electric fat tire bike just may right for you. Until next time be safe in the sun and have a great day in the great outdoors.
