Bakcou Storm Review 2023

Level 1 expert

I really liked the Bakcou Storm — more than I expected to, actually… It’s plenty capable off-road, but calling it an eMTB doesn’t feel quite right… Instead, I feel like the Storm falls into a new “all-terrain” category that these hunting and outdoor e-bike companies are making for themselves.
