A legitimate hunting tool.
by JBP (5 out of 5 stars)

I bought this bike for bow hunting a 640 acre property in Eastern Oklahoma. My main objective is to access my stands and check trail cameras without making a ton of noise. I am not a mountain biker so I can't compare this bike to other mountain bikes, I can just say that it does what it claims to do, and then some.

When I did my research, and I did a lot of it, I never could get good picture of how much pedaling was realistically required to get up a steep grade, if any. I wanted to be able to ride to my tree stand in full cold weather clothing without working up a sweat, which would lead to being cold during my hunt. I couldn't find information that really addressed this concern so I'm writing this review in case anyone else has the same question.

I weigh about 200 pounds and the property I hunt is anything but flat. The ridable trails vary in elevation by about 300 feet with lots of ups and downs. The steepest grades are pretty severe, not accessible in a 2wd vehicle. The Rambo can climb anything on the property without my pedaling. Of 9 power settings, I haven't needed more than level 4. In first gear, there is plenty of torque to climb. I'm not saying you're going to fly up the hill, but it will get you there provided you can get enough traction on the rear wheel. All that being said, it's almost impossible NOT to pedal! It's just a reaction based on years of riding bikes. I seem to be most comfortable just giving the motor a little assist when going up a hill, using the thumb throttle without pedaling on flat spots and then coasting downhill. The disk brakes have been a little tricky to get adjusted perfectly but they work great and provide the needed control on steep descents. I have tried power level 9 in 7th gear just to see how close to 20 mph it will really go and I hit 18mph quickly with low tire pressure so I don't doubt the claim at all. For my purposes, level 3 in 1st gear is about right. That gives me 5-6 mph which is just fast enough to be controllable but still quiet, and has the torque to climb the next hill if I pedal just a bit.

There is a learning curve. Some of the trails I ride are somewhat technical, and like I said, I'm not a mountain biker. With an atv you just get on and drive, with a bike you have to concentrate a bit until it becomes second nature. Even using the thumb throttle, there is some effort involved in simply maintaining balance and maneuvering the bike through obstacles. The fat tires have been hard to get used to, but they do provide some shock absorption riding over rocky terrain. I think the design is good, it just takes getting used to.

As for range, you obviously won't get the advertised 19 miles in hilly terrain without doing a little bit of the work but I don't need anything near 19 miles. Most of my stand locations are within .5 mile of camp and my trail camera loop is about 1.5 miles long. Two full days of hunting requires no more than 4 or 5 miles of range in my situation, which is about what I can get without pedaling. If I work some, I'll come home with 3/4 battery life remaining. Lightly pedaling makes a big difference. It's range is ample for my use, but if I were taking it to hunt public ground in Colorado where I might ride several miles each day, I would definitely have a second battery or a way to recharge at camp.

Bottom line is, I'm really pleased with this purchase. It feels surreal creeping through the forrest in the dark (I bought a headlight for it) without any engine noise, only the sound of the tires on the ground. Even riding to check cameras or scouting, I feel more connected to my surroundings and it is simply a much more peaceful experience than riding the four wheeler. This is a legitimate hunting tool, but I have to admit that it is also a lot of fun to ride. Even my wife wasn't bitter about the purchase once she took it for a spin. She actually loves it too and I can see the possibility of having a pair of them someday.

I'm not as impressed as I had hoped to be
by Jim3579 (3 out of 5 stars)

It's a decent bike but not what I would expect in this price range. I use this bike in west central Wisconsin over the opening weekend of rifle season. I have to say I was impressed with it's ability when I rode it around town before heading into the field. We had quite a bit of rain overnight and this bike got a test the first morning. I am 6'-2", 250 pounds and riding out was no problem on my first mile or so to the stand with the exception of being a very rough ride even with the tires only inflated to the 7 PSI minimum recommended pressure. The trip back on day one was terrible because I couldn't get any traction in the mud with any kind of incline. An off road bike that doesn't handle mud very well and doesn't come with fenders is not a good combination. I thorough washing was required because every nook and cranny was packed with mud including the sprockets, derailleur and motor. Day two included below freezing temperatures which made the ride almost unbearable. We have trails throughout most of the property but there was about knee high grass on most of them. Grass collected in the gears and wheels and evidently caused the derailleur to break loose and get caught in the spokes of the rear wheel. After untangling this mess I wound up pushing the bike back to camp where it sat unusable for the rest of my hunt.

This bike was easy to assemble and adjust out of the box. Only issue I had was getting the front brake adjusted because the front rotor was warped. I called Rambo and they said they would send me a new one right away. The customer service person I spoke with didn't seem surprised and didn't hesitate to offer a replacement. I have not received the new part yet so used the bike without a front brake. The bike runs very quiet except for the very cold morning when I left camp and had to coast to a stop because the brake squeaked quite loud as I applied it. The brake rotors are very thin which I believe creates a vibration and very audible harmonic at times.

I did a lot of research before making this purchase and now realize most of the reviews and videos I looked at rave about the Rambo Bikes ability but i now realize they were mostly paid reviews that tested this bike in ideal conditions with smooth trails with no growth on them, dry conditions and not seriously rough terrain. Changes I would like to see would be 1) A suspension system that doesn't run the price up to $5,000. 2) Some sort of protection for fragile parts and some method of keeping grass and mud out of the sprockets. After all this is supposed to be an off road bike. 3) Fenders should be standard not optional. While they are at it make a decent fender too. 4) A better braking system. Rotors are very thin, pads are very small. A bike of this size should have a more robust/dependable braking system. 5) If you advertise a quick release front tire actually send one. The pictures make it very clear they claim this is a quick release front wheel but I didn't receive one.

I know three others that have been preparing to make this purchase and are reconsidering after seeing the issues this bike truly has once you get your hands on it and actually use it in real life situations instead of ideal conditions. If you are considering purchasing this bike give serious consideration to it's limitations. If you have questions I'll do my best to answer and if you live in west central WI and want to take mine for a ride let me know. It's not like this purchase breaks the bank but you might as well make an informed purchase and look at the many options that are available.

Used the bike elk hunting in colorado and after 2 ...
by allan mikeska (2 out of 5 stars)

Used the bike elk hunting in colorado and after 2 days the pedal fell off took 2hrs to find bolt for it. The seat got bent up just from riding on bumps. The shifter wouldn't stay in gear. End up putting lock Tite on all the nuts and bolts I could. After going up several hills I realized even when pedaling it does not have the power to get up allot of the hills and in trying the battery died after 6 or 7 miles. It's probably ok for flat ground but don't expect much in the mountains.

Power
by Kip D (5 out of 5 stars)
December 13, 2017

almost gave 4 stars but I'm going to take it to a bike shop first. Used it for hunting in MT for 1 day until the law came around and said no motors of any kind. Research this grey area on Fed. vs. State, etc. land. Power and longevity I didn't expect. Get use to it before you go into the mountains. Know what to expect when you start to peddle or bring the power up. Bad on Ice=-) fall over! duh. snow not bad. Front break was squeeking on my first hunt day so I disconnected it, now back break same thing. Shop time. Didn't have disk breaks growing up (44 y.o.)

Love the bike
by Sentinal (5 out of 5 stars)

Love the bike!

I can check my game game in a few hours versus hiking all day.

Running in 2 or 3 for twenty miles and battery did not show any usage. Easy on 60 year old knees and can still get a workout.

Can go up hill without a problem while I have to wait 10 minutes or more for my mountain bike buddies!

Great bike, sweet Camo.
by Mark C. Sloan (5 out of 5 stars)
April 25, 2016

The price came down on the Camo bike so I went for it. Holy crap do i love this bike...the Camo is bad ass and the bike itself is insane. I've only gone in a nearby park and up and down a few bridges but what a great bike. I'm 57 and I'm going to use this for hunting and I can't wait to use it. I'll post updates after I use it to hunt.

UPDATE: I have logged in about 50 miles in the woods now. Just crusin down trails I have snuck up on Quail, Turkey and Hogs. I harvested a 150 lb hog on my 1st day out. I now have the rack and game cart to go with it. The only problem I have is that my hunting buddies don't have one (they want one though)so it's all alone Sloan bike hunting for now. No regrets.

UPDATE 2/5/2017: I now have about 250 miles on my Rambo 750. I've put her through hell and she has not let me down. I've harvested 3 hogs with her and hauled a few of my friends back to out trucks. The difference from dragging one out with a hand pulled game cart versus pulling one out with the Rambo Game Cart? Night & day! The with 200 lbs. on the cart, it does take a little getting used to, but super easy. I also, bought a 2nd battery and it in my saddle bags (which eliminates the need for a back pack).

Once again, the only draw back is none of my friends have one yet...yet. A couple are in the process of buying one.

The bike is extremely heavy but it is pretty damn cool
by BRYCE L. DOOTSON (4 out of 5 stars)

The bike is extremely heavy but it is pretty damn cool. I'm a pretty big guy and out of shape too so going up steep hills still is troublesome for me but my buddy whom also has one of these too and is literally about half my size, he just scoots up them hills quickly with no problem at all. I have been real happy with this and use it for working events too, not just hunting. They are very expensive but love it.

Rambo bike in the mountains
by Gerry G (4 out of 5 stars)
July 18, 2017

I wanted to put my bike to the test before I did a review. I have had it for 7 months now and have taken it to the woods many times, so I think I now know what this bike can do. I thought it would be best if I tried to categorize the review, hopefully hitting on points that others will find helpful.

Overall design:

I would say this is not as fancy as some mountain bikes I have seen before. There is no suspension system like many good bikes have. This relies on the low air pressure in the fat tires to take some of the bounce out of the trail. The fat tires look good but I find them much more difficult to steer on a rocky trail (which most of mine are) than a thin tire bike. I have gone through some serious mud with this bike and the tires performed well there. The seat is just a typical bike seat, but suits me well. Overall, not the fanciest or lightest bike on the market. A few of the plastic parts were broken (speed display holder/rear reflector holder) and a reflector was missing when it arrived, but an email to Rambo Bikes quickly solved everything. They shipped replacements in a few days.

Reliability:

I've had a few things break so far. First was the plastic chain cover. It didn't take too much of a bump against a log for it to snap, but in fairness I was pushing it through some brush at the time, not riding on a trail. Once the cover breaks, the chain will not stay on the gear for very long. It cost me around $10.00 to get a replacement plus shipping. Also, the Bafang Speedo broke when a stick flew up into the cable when I was riding at 12 MPH. Once that breaks, you will get an error message on the speed display screen, and you cannot change power settings on the fly. I had to stop, clear the screen, adjust the settings, and then take off. This also was a cheap fix, got a new one for around $20.00 with shipping and was not hard to put on. But, these parts are plastic and could very easily break again.

Power:

This is where this bike excels. I was a little nervous about buying this bike and not being able to climb some of the steep mountain trails here in PA. That worry is completely gone now, it has been able to do whatever I asked of it. In first gear on level 9, you can climb a very steep grade without pedaling at all, or at least only pedal assist in places where the trail gets very steep. But in my terrain I am able to use throttle only with no pedaling 99% of the time. Actually, I kind of feel guilty riding back in the mountain so effortlessly, but it sure is a time saver. I don't believe you will ever get 19 miles out of the battery if you are on hilly terrain and if you are not using pedal assist. If I ride 2 or 3 miles my battery gauge is reading about 3/4. I think 9 or 10 miles without pedal assist would be more accurate where I'm riding.

Practicality:

The main reason I bought the bike was so I could ride farther back into the forest to get away from most other hunters. (I checked my state laws and with the DCNR before I purchased to make sure my bike was legal to ride in the State Forest. You should check that out also if you're planning to ride on public land.) This bike is a real game changer for getting in quick and easy and for checking scouting cameras. I can go back to a spot that is a mile from the vehicle, and be there in around 5-6 minutes. Once archery season arrives, I'll be able to ride up the mountain trails and not be covered in sweat when I get there. If you're getting a little older like me, saving the body and legs is a huge deal. I haven't used it yet to hang treestands, but I'm sure it will make hauling everything in much easier.

But above everything else, the bike is just fun to ride. I really look forward to each time I get to use it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's not perfect. There are a few things that could be designed a little better IMO. I was hesitant to spend the money, but quite honestly this has been one of the best purchases I've made. Makes getting off the beaten path much easier and more enjoyable. Also have snuck up on several deer and turkey while riding, they don't even hear you coming. Just hope I don't do that to a sow bear with cubs.

The Best Thing to Happen to a Bicycle Since the Seat!
by SnoopyDog4Good (5 out of 5 stars)
August 12, 2016

The Rambo R750 Power Bike may be the greatest thing to happen to bicycles, since the invention of the seat. We purchased this bike locally (we wanted it assembled and adjusted) for my wife, but it has become the favorite bike to ride by everyone in the family. It is a "grin from ear-to-ear" riding experience.

My wife is approaching 60, is five-foot, and weights - well she won't tell me - let's just say she is heavy but not obese. Her girlfriends are all about the same age but thin and athletic. My wife is athletic, just heavy. The girlfriends all ride bikes several times a week, sometimes on the road, sometimes on the trail and sometimes off the groomed trail in the mountains and the desert. My wife stopped riding with them about 10 years ago because she could not keep pace and felt that she was always holding them back.

This bike changes all that. Here's why:
* The adjustable power - 9 levels - is an equalizer - from a 1 assist (minor), all the way up to a 9 where no pedaling is even required. She has never had to use more than a 4 and she gets as much of a work out as she wants. There is also a 0 setting where it is all the rider - no assist whatsoever.
* You can feel the power assist join with your pedaling and you can control the amount of assist on-the-fly with the controls on the left handlebar.
* She can now keep up with anyone in the group, and could ace them to the top of any hill, if she desired.
* The 4" wide tires are incredibly stable in any terrain. We have ridden through sand, gravel, wood chip covered trails, dry creek beds and, of course, asphalt.
* It appears to be sturdy and well built. Nothing raddles or has required adjustment.
* The disc brakes (front and back) are more than adequate to control nearly any descent or stop.
* We added a rack and she now use the bike to run to the store rather than jumping in the car - never before happen on a bike in our entire married life (more than 30 years).
* It would be nice if it had a front shock - some of the trails we have ridden are rough - although by adjusting the tire pressure between 10 psi to 30 psi, we can control the shock absorption. 5 psi is minimum; 30 psi is maximum for these tires.
* At 59 pounds it is heavy, but I quickly realized it is not an issue with the power assist. The bike is well balanced (the weight is all low on the bike) and the bike can more than move itself any anyone on it.
* The components are well chosen and are of excellent quality. The seat is comfortable and the shifting is solid and quick.

This is a love-at-first-ride experience. I also enjoy riding it because I can go anywhere, and I do not need to worry that when I ride down into some wild place, that I won't be able to ride back out.
