Jeff great video, on the rad rover. I bought the Rambo 750 g-3 - 1/18/20. I got the bike, fenders, both racks, plus the cart and flashlight goes on handlebars for $2332.00 out the door. just bought the rad rover fender kit to put on my Rambo bike. I live in Michigan and there no rad rover around here. i have knee problems so i know what you mean. have a great day plus hunting !!

Excellent review Jeff! I have a original Rad Rover (2018) that I love (as I have prosthetic knees) and am looking at the Rambo trailer. I will have to make an adapter as I have a Topeak Rack, but that should not be to difficult! Again, thank you for the Review!

@arthurcarstens3 жыл бұрын
Have had my Rover for the past 2 seasons, killed 2 animals last year, 1 deer and 1 pig this year. The Rover is great, I put almost 1400 miles on the bike during the year, strengthening my legs. This allowed me to pedal out the animals this year even easier. I don't have roads, but mostly trails, however, it still did great!!! The only caution is going to thru mud, puddles. If you are pedaling in the mud, the rear wheel will spin out on you, learn to "coast" thru the puddles, it will do great.

I'm gonna buy the rad rover bike and when the warranty expires I'm gonna do the true 750w motor upgrade the controller amp and screen and the battery. u can hit 35-40 mph !!!!
@zinknot3 жыл бұрын
That's a good idea. I didn't know the upgrade increased the speed that much. Main reason holding back from getting it is that for the price I want to be able to at least hit 30 mph.

There is a hidden menu on that rad rover where you can up the speed without upgrades via bypassing the manufacturer setting.

I tried using my mt bike one year...it didn't work.. I have to up hill through a pasture...so taller grass that is knocked down from our truck tires.... So I'm concerned about being able to get up our hills before I purchase. Thx

Depending on how steep and how rough the ground is underneath you, yes. But you will have to pedal and you won’t go fast. But it should carry you up with moderate pedaling

Hi Jeff. I hunt in the Olympic mountains. And my friend just picked up his quad. I said why don't need a quad. Well after getting my first deer and I am wiped out. Okay. But I don't want to spend $10,000. So I'm looking into the e-bikes. Thanks for the review. Can you put on knobby tires? Or do you have to use the tires that come with a ebike? And, in your opinion is it quiet enough? Not that it matters I can't get a Rambo it's much money lol
@comprehensiveoutdoorsjeffh52463 жыл бұрын
Hi Randy! Yes, you can purchase any 4” fat bike tire you like. Although the ones that RadRover puts on the bike are pretty good already. It’s not whisper quiet but definitely quiet enough. I just get off the bike and go on foot once I’m close to where I want to be. I think you’d be happy with it. Good luck!

I disagree about your assumption about 800$ bikes being cheap I Also on a Jetson Hayes and a rad runner plus and by far the rad runner is harder to move around on maybe you like the dirt in the mud and all the other stuff but normally people don’t and the Jets and Hayes is the better street bike and plus your rat doesn’t do but 18 mph because you hadn’t figured out how to turn up the speed yet or are you having just not doing it
