The Jeep e-bike is a rugged, full-suspension electric mountain bike first teased during Jeep's 2020 Gladiator Super Bowl ad and later launched as a production model. Built to follow a Jeep anywhere the trail goes, it pairs a high-torque mid-drive motor with fat tires and serious suspension, positioning it as one of the most capable off-road e-bikes a brand has put its badge on.
What is the Jeep e-bike?
When it comes to offroading, it is safe to say that Jeep knows a thing or two about it. During their 2020 Gladiator ad in the Super Bowl, prying eyes took a sneak peek at what seems to be a powerful, rugged jeep electric bike built to accompany your Jeep on offroad adventures. The brand framed it as a companion vehicle, a two-wheeled extension of the same go-anywhere attitude.
How powerful is the Jeep electric mountain bike?
Jeep claims that their e-bike is the most powerful off-road mountain bike yet, with the specs to back it up. The bike uses a 750W motor that provides 40 miles of thrilling offroad riding, thanks partially to 4.8-inch tires. Experts suspect the power unit is actually capable of 1.6kW, but it has been tamed to avoid damaging parts or the rider. The bike also seems to sport high-end disc brakes from either Tektro or Magura.
Who builds the Jeep e-bike?
The production Jeep e-bike is built by all-terrain specialist QuietKat. On its official Jeep electric bike page, QuietKat positions the model around fat tires, long-travel suspension, and a powertrain tuned for sand, snow, rocks, and steep climbs. Independent testers at Electric Bike Report have reviewed the production bike and confirmed its overlanding and trail focus.
When did the Jeep e-bike go on sale?
The bike was expected to go on sale in June 2020. At the teaser stage, pricing and availability were unknown, but one thing was clear: when a bike is claimed to be a companion vehicle for a Jeep, that kind of capability does not come cheap.
