EMOTORAD Ranger

Fat Tyres, Big Comfort, and Everyday Practicality

- 

When Emotorad sent me the Ranger, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect.

I've ridden their Doodle before, and the Ranger clearly borrows some DNA from it, but this one feels like a step up not just in size, but also in the way it's positioned. After a week of testing it around the city, on trails, and even up some steep inclines, I've started to understand its character.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

The Ranger doesn’t really look like your average e-cycle. The first thing that catches your eye is the long, almost motorcycle-like seat that stretches from the handlebar to the rear. On most e-cycles, you're stuck in one riding position, but here you can actually shift around, which makes longer commutes or casual trail rides far more comfortable. It’s the kind of seat that invites you to sit, relax, and cruise rather than rush.

The overall build feels solid, thanks to the high tensile steel frame, and the bike carries a certain rugged charm. It’s not flashy, but it looks purposeful.
