Bottom line

How much bush could a Bushwacker wack if a Bushwacker could wack bush? Loads, apparently. With incredibly porky 4”-inch-wide tires and front air suspension; this hardtail, electric, hunting fatbike is intended to traverse diverse terrain with nary a whimper. Even so, the Bushwacker's suspension fork was found to be stiff, despite multiple adjustments. The Bushwacker is equipped with a reputable Bafang 750-watt BBSHD mid-drive motor that delivers a maximum of 120 Nm of torque. This should push the Bushwacker up steep hills and carry a trailer full of game or cargo. It’s available in a single 19” frame size. Most owners were satisfied while others were disappointed with Rambo’s customer service and a lack of warranty support. Older models are fitted with an 11.6Ah battery.
