Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Rambo The Rebel. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

Bottom line

The Rebel is another fat-tired, big-motored beast from huntbike marque Rambo. With a BBSHD mid-drive motor putting out 1000W of sustained (and 1500w peak) power, the Rebel should have plenty of pull through backcountry roads carrying sizable loads. Rambo have equipped the Rebel with a big 21Ah battery, to match the needs of this powerful and heavy bike. Owners say it lasts around 40 miles under normal use. Huge 4.8” wide tires float across mud, sand and snow. Don’t be confused with the Rebel’s precursor, the Rambo XPC1000, which did not have an inverted moto fork and was only equipped with a 14.5Ah battery. There is no reason why the Rebel can’t be used by non-hunters too. This is a lot of bike so understandably, it will set you back a lot of dollars. Older models are fitted with a 48V 14.5Ah battery.
