Let’s start by talking about what this bike actually is. It’s an e-MTB that’s been made in partnership between Jeep and Colorado-based Quietkat. The full-suspension model comes with a nine-speed Sram setup, Tektro four-piston hydraulic disc brakes and a pair of chunky 26-inch tires front and back.
As that is an e-bike, it additionally comes with a 14.5 AH battery, which has been paired with a mid-drive motor. The Jeep e-bike is on the market with a 750 W or 1,000 W motor, and this one got here with the larger energy unit.

Over the next couple of weeks we’re going to try this bike out in all manner of settings. We’re going to head to the hills to find some muddy trails, try it out on gravel tracks and even see if its six inches of suspension travel is enough to smooth out the roads of New York City.
