QuietKat Lynx eBike: TOY BIN

QuietKat Lynx eBike is the Best of both worlds

If you’ve seen the Jeep eBike, then you already know that QuietKat designs quality ebikes whose performance matches their looks. This year, QuietKat are pulling out all the stops with a series of new ebike designs that includes the Lynx, a bike with “café moto styling” and “all-terrain capabilities” like none they’ve released before.

When the company pre-released the bike earlier this year at AIM Expo in Las Vegas, a lucky few riders got to test the bike on a demo track. The new bike was quickly revealed to be, as many anticipated from a QuietKat design, a capable machine able to tackle tough terrain and look good doing it.

Comfort and Performance

Combining these two sought-after qualities in an ebike is the name of the game for the QuietKat Lynx eBike. The bike is a fun ride, with a comfortable seat and a full throttle that delivers the best kind of adrenaline rush.

Plus, the Lynx is a good-looking bike, available in both black and silver colorways with a tan synthetic leather seat. The bike’s minimalist deisgn lets its performance elements shine.

“The new Lynx represents the latest in full-suspension electric bicycles from the leader in off-road eBikes and is an innovative design that pushes the envelope of style and high-performance for the brand,” according to QuietKat.

About QuietKat

QuietKat, a Vista Outdoor Inc. brand out of Eagle, Colorado, has released a fleet of innovative new ebikes this year, including the Lynx as well as Apex Pro, Apex Sport, and Ranger models. Founded by brothers Jake and Justin Roach in 2013, the brand’s mission has been to sustainably increase backcountry access for hunters and anglers.

With QuietKat’s 15-day risk-free test ride policy, you can always test out a bike if you want more information before you invest. They also offer a lifetime frame warranty on every bike in addition to helpful financing options.

The QuietKat Lynx eBike is slated to be available late summer 2023.

01 Performance

This 2-speed bike features a powerful, heavy duty 1000-watt hub motor with a twist throttle for that extra boost of speed. That should give you up to 35mph of speed, depending on what your load is and if you’re towing any gear. The bike features an elevated frame with an Inverted Mechanical Coil Fork giving the bike 203mm of travel in the front and a Mechanical Coil shock in the rear for 100mm of travel there. 2-piston hydraulic disc brakes give the bike’s rider extra control.

02 Wheels

The Lynx eBike’s wheels give it that rugged off-road look, but they also elevate the bike’s terrain chops. Size 24x 4.5-inch Vee Huntsman moto-style tires give the good-looking bike serious grip and improved handling while piloting off the beaten path.

03 Features

In addition to its rugged upgrades, the Lynx eBike comes with some luxuries, too. It’s Bluetooth, cellular, and GPS enabled, so it can be remote controlled and tracked for anti-theft purposes. The bike also features comfort upgrades like its custom-sewn synthetic leather “café moto” style seat.
