Bottom line

The Quietkat Ranger 5.0 is a Class 1 single-speed electric fatbike. This rig employs a 500-watt hub-drive motor and offers riders three levels of pedal assist. It has an independent throttle with a ‘quick-disconnect’ function. The Ranger 5.0 can manage a payload of 325 lb; including you, your kit and catch. With 4.0” wide tires, this beast easily meanders through forest roads, mud, sand, snow and loose dirt. The Ranger 5.0 comes in one 18” frame size and uses a rigid fork. Some buyers experienced faults and had difficulties contacting and negotiating with customer service. It’s not cheap. Even so, this bike has plenty of fans that love it as is.
