Bottom line

The Rambo Rooster is a compact, single-speed, fat-tire e-bike. It runs a 750W hub-driven Bafang motor and cutesy 20” wheels. These small wheels, in conjunction with the Rooster’s step-through frame shape, combine to make a bike well-suited to shorter, older, and less flexible riders. Fat 4.0” tires help cushion the ride on uneven or dirt roads. The Rooster is fitted with an integrated rack and features mountpoints for a tough, load-bearing basket. One owner received their bike with a wobbly and untrue wheel. They were advised to repair it themselves or to pay for it to be repaired by their local bike shop. The Rooster is available in one 17” frame size and comes fitted with a BMX-style handlebar that is not height-adjustable. While the Rooster is pictured with a suspension fork, Rambo’s specs say the bike uses a rigid fork, which is also pictured on the Rooster’s product page.
