If you were looking into electric hunting bikes but you were scared of stability on two wheels – how about a 3 wheel electric hunting bike?
Yes, this already exists and if you attach a trailer – you will have better stability than with any other hunting vehicle of your choice.
Rungu Juggernaut is a very well known eBike manufacturer who specializes in providing the best possible transportation for hunters.
In this post, you will find what makes this hunting eBike so good but also what are some of the advantages of riding a 3-wheeled electric bike.
Rungu Juggernaut MDV Series Review
Even though there aren’t many manufacturers who produced a 3 wheel electric hunting bike just yet, but Rungu is taking the lead and it’s very promising.
It’s a top-notch eBike crafted for the roughest terrains and the worst hunting conditions you might find yourself in. It’s equipped with everything you’d need – however, equipping it with additional accessories will only increase the value of this already fantastic eBike.
Aircraft Aluminum Frame
It’s most likely you won’t be riding this bike on flat often and that’s why Juggernaut is based on a hand-welded aluminum space frame.
This frame is designed to handle all the components, rider’s weight, equipment, and additional trailers without a single problem.
We have noticed that the frame is additionally coated with powder-coat for extra durability which won’t only make sure you won’t have to worry about scratching this eBike, but you also won’t have to ever worry about this eBike’s durability.
Dual-Handlebar Steering Assembly
Since there are two front wheels, Rungu had to patent their own dual-handlebar steering assembly which doesn’t only look very attractive but it makes riding this 3-wheeled electric hunting bike easy.
Handlebars are connected with a linkage rod that is placed in the middle of the steering mechanism and it’s the same strength of the one you can find in a car or an ATV.
Durable Front & Rear Wheel Bearings
Rungu did a really good job of creating a quality eBike from ground-up which means that every single component is made for extreme durability.
Also, Rungu planned ahead so even the front & rear bearings are well-protected from the corrosion. We really liked how simple it was to change the tire on this eBike due to the quick-release hubs that minimize time and complexity.
We believe that even someone who has never changed a bike tire can do it in no time.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes & E-Brake
Juggernaut is equipped with hydraulic brakes, each on one of the three wheels. At the front wheels, you will find E-Twin Tektro Auriga while you will see Tektro Auriga E-Tune at the rear wheel.
This increases the stopping power drastically when it’s compared to 2-wheeled hunting eBikes. However, with the amount of power this eBike can produce – these brakes will ensure you stop the moment you pull the brake levers, no matter the surface type you’re riding on.
Maxxis Fat Tires with Anti-Punch Tire Liners
If you’re looking for tires that provide stability and improve handling on all surface types – Maxxis is the Rungu’s number one choice.
These tires are the ones from the Super Custom models line which provides anti-punch tire liners on the inside. This prevents the tires from punctures, and in testings done by Rungu – it’s shown that there are higher chances of damaging your rim rather than getting a puncture.
We felt like we don’t need to carry backup inner tubes and a pump on the hunting trips. It took about 18 months for Rungu to develop this tire protection, but you can trust that it works.
High Output Motor
Rungu didn’t play around when it came down to choosing the perfect motor for this eBike and so they decided to use the highest power mid-drive motor available in mass production.
It’s a 1000W Bafang motor which uses a 52V battery system. With this combination, this eBike can produce about 1400W of power at peak times.
Needless to say, we had to test this eBike on the steepest hill we could find – and indeed, we can crown Juggernaut as the off-road hill-climbing king.
Wide Range Gearing
Rungu ensured that nothing on Juggernaut breaks and so is even the chain carefully chosen. Along with one of the strongest chains in the industry, Juggernaut also has high-durability derailleurs, top-quality trigger shifter, and an alloy cassette that can’t be stopped.
As a hunter, you’ll most likely be loading this eBike with plenty of gear and accessories. Rungu installed a smart sensor that can minimize the risk of breaking a chain or bending a sprocket during gear change when you have the eBike loaded up.
Sleek Dashboard
Not only that we did like the sleek dashboard provided by Rungu, but we enjoyed its multifunctionality which leaves nothing out.
Therefore, you can see the speedometer, power meter, fuel gauge, power level, and trip computer settings. The dashboard even gives you the ability to charge your own phone or GPS. However, only you will be able to access the Juggernaut via the PIN input.
Durable & Efficient Battery System
The power system standard along with the hunting eBikes is the output of 48VDC. However, Rungu managed to provide a 52 VDC which gives it a 12% advantage over its competitors.
This is an ideal battery with a capacity enough to provide 21 miles on a single charge in real-world off-road conditions.
Rungu Accessories
Since Rungu has made this eBike for hunters – it comes with everything necessary to take it to hunt. Therefore, you will enjoy the 1260 Lumen LED lights at the front and rear, a rear rack that has a decent weight capacity, and fenders that will protect your favorite hunting clothing even in the deepest mud.
Conclusion
Whether your intentions are to go for a 3 wheel electric hunting bike or you were just browsing all types of eBikes suitable for hunters – we believe that you can’t go wrong by choosing Rungu Juggernaut MDV.
You won’t even need a bike stand since it can stand on its own wherever you put it – thanks to the wise Rungu 3-wheel construction.
Considering the way this eBike is built and everything it offers + additional features it includes – it’s easy to see that it’s very well worth the price it costs.
