We, here at Urban E Bikes have a number of high quality brands to choose from, one of them is Bakcou e-bikes. This company specializes in producing electric mountain bikes for hunting and other outdoor activities. The company offers a range of e-bike models with features such as powerful motors, long range batteries, and durable components designed to handle rough terrain.

Here are some of the most popular hunting electric bikes we recommend:
The Mule was designed and engineered around the unparalleled power and performance of Bafangs ULTRA mid-drive motor.
The Ultra motor is widely recognized as the “diesel engine” of mid-drive motors! It’s all metal, heavy-duty gearing, combined with the intelligence of an integrated torque sensor, make the Ultra motor the most capable, durable, and efficient motor on the planet.
The Mule ST are built exactly like the Mule, with the exception of a lower top tube allowing for a shorter stand over height.
This allows for greater ease in getting on and off of the bike. We recommend our Mule Step-Through (ST) model for our customers with a shorter leg length, or those that have difficulty getting on and off of a traditional fat-tire, eBike.
The Cobra ebike is equipped with powerful 750W gear hub motor and upgraded inner ring. It also adopts a strong high-end mountain bike four-bar linkage suspension and coil suspension, absorbing any bumps on the way down the trail. The 26”X4.8” CST super fat tires, as the biggest e bike tires in the U.S. market, make riding more stable to suit all road conditions.
If your plans are to hunt rough, rugged, gnarly terrain, with a pack on your back, and you are less interested in packing heavy gear on your bike, or pulling weighted down trailers, then the full suspension Storm is right for you.
The full suspension Storm delivers a ‘’Cadillac ride’’ while traversing even the most rugged terrain.
