Savage 2.0 Overview
The Savage 2.0 is the bike Rambo built its name on, before the Megatron and the Krusader. Rambo calls it the number one selling fat tire electric bike in its class, ten years after it launched.
It is built for trails, fields, creek bottoms and gravel roads, in mud, snow, sand and standing timber. Rambo describes the hub motor as near silent, so you can cover ground without spooking game.
The Savage 2.0 drives through a single rear hub motor. It is not all wheel drive. For two motors and AWD traction, compare it with the Megatron 5.0 and the Krusader 3.0 in the table below.
Press the throttle and go
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 motor to service. Press the thumb throttle and go.
Rambo says it spends extra hours tuning the hub motor controller on its entry level bikes, for a smoother, more responsive pull whether you are climbing a ridge or easing up to a stand.
Floats over mud, sand and snow
All terrain Kenda 24 by 4 inch fat tires with anti puncture technology float over mud, sand, snow, gravel and roots. The bike is rated for a 300 lb load and weighs 68 lbs without the battery, and it is built to run Rambo's racks, bags and bow mounts.
The waterproof LCD carries Rambo's Adjustable Class Setting, so you can switch the same bike between Class 1, 2 and 3 modes to match local trail rules.


48V 15Ah LG cells
The 48V 15Ah, 720Wh battery uses LG branded cells and is rated for up to 48 miles.

Adjustable Class Setting
Switch between Class 1, 2 and 3 modes from the waterproof display.

Kenda 24" x 4" fat tires

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 5.0 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. With the 20Ah battery, Rambo rates it at up to 65 miles on pedal assist or 32 miles on throttle only. Hills, rider weight, cold weather and low tire pressure all shorten it.
Is it street legal?+
The display carries Rambo's Adjustable Class Setting, so the rider can switch the bike between Class 1, 2 and 3 modes. Its top speed of 30 mph is above the 28 mph Class 3 limit, so local rules decide where it can be ridden at full speed.
What is the difference between the 15Ah and 20Ah battery?+
Both are 48V. The 20Ah pack holds more amp hours, so it goes further between charges: Rambo rates it at up to 65 miles on pedal assist, against 48 miles for the 15Ah. 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.
