Savage 2.0 Overview
The Rambo Savage 2.0 is the bike that started it all. Before the Megatron, before the Krusader, there was the Savage. It put Rambo on the map and made the electric hunting bike a category worth taking seriously.
Ten years on it is still the number one selling fat tire electric hunting bike in its class, and it earned that the hard way. Mud, snow, sand, standing timber. Most electric bikes are built for pavement. The Savage 2.0 was built for everywhere else. Deer woods, elk country, creek bottoms, gravel roads, and pre season scouting in the dark before anyone else is moving.
One thing worth saying plainly: this is a single rear hub drive, not all wheel drive. For two motors and true AWD traction, compare it against the Megatron 4.0 and the Krusader 3.0 below.
750W to 1000W hub motor, powered by Bafang
The Savage 2.0 runs a Bafang hub motor rated 750W to 1000W, with 90Nm of torque and a 1200W peak. The motor sits in the rear wheel, so there is no mid drive to service and no gears to shift. Twist the throttle and go.
Rambo spends the hours other brands skip on controller tuning at this price. That is what the throttle feels like off the line, and it is a large part of why the Savage still outsells bikes that cost more.
Kenda 24 inch fat tires, built for everywhere but pavement
All terrain Kenda 24 by 4 inch fat tires with anti puncture technology, a 300 lb load rating, and a frame that weighs 68 lbs without the battery. Fat tires float over sand and snow that stop a normal mountain bike, and they carry a loaded rack without complaint.
The waterproof LCD carries the Rambo Adjustable Class System, so the same bike can run inside a Class 1 trail limit or open up to 30 mph where the rules allow it.

Questions before buying
Is the Savage 2.0 all wheel drive?+
No. The Savage 2.0 drives through a single rear hub motor. Rambo's all wheel drive models are the Megatron 4.0 and the Krusader 3.0, both of which run two motors. The compare table below puts all three side by side.
How far does it go on a charge?+
Rambo rates it at up to 48 miles on the standard 48V 15Ah battery. That is a pedal assist figure. Throttle riding, hills, rider weight, cold weather and low tire pressure all shorten it.
Is it street legal?+
The display carries Rambo's Adjustable Class System, so the rider can cap the bike at Class 1, 2 or 3 limits. Unrestricted it reaches up to 30 mph, which is above Class 3, so local rules decide where it can be ridden.
What is the difference between the 15Ah and 20Ah battery?+
Both are 48V. The 20Ah pack holds more amp hours, which means more miles between charges. Choose it in the Battery Size option above; the price difference shows on the option itself.
How much assembly is needed?+
Rambo ships the bike almost fully assembled. Final setup takes a few minutes and needs no specialty tools.
How much can it carry, and what does it weigh?+
Load capacity is 300 lbs. The bike weighs 68 lbs without the battery, and the battery adds 7 lbs.
Does it have a throttle?+
Yes, a thumb throttle, alongside pedal assist.
