We are super excited about the release of the new Storm G2 by Bakcou eBikes (formerly BackCountry eBikes). We know that it will be an absolute game-changer in the full-suspension, fat-tire, electric mountain bike class.
Bakcou Storm G2 Description
Bakcou Ebikes spent countless hours in research, design, and testing of this new 2020 Storm model. It will no doubt rival the sales of the record-breaking Bakcou Ebikes Mule. However, it is not intended to compete with the trailer-pulling, pannier bag-toting, hardtail Mule. Instead, the 1000W Full-Suspension Storm e-MTB is designed for the hunter/backcountry enthusiast, looking for that "Cadillac" ride without the need to pull/pack heavy gear.
If it's gnarly, rugged, steep, or technical, look no further than the full-suspension Storm G2 e-MTB from Bakcou eBikes. The Storm G2 will chew up those rocky climbs and steep descents with ease, while still allowing you to pull that trailer full of gear to and from your tree stand, blind, or favorite hunting spot.
The Storm G2 is the most capable full-suspension, fat-tire electric bike on the market. It is built to traverse rough, rugged terrain while maintaining a Cadillac ride. The Storm G2 comes stock with an upgraded 17.5Ah extended distance battery, Tektro HD-E750 quad piston hydraulic brakes w/ auto motor inhibitors, RockShox rear suspension, 120mm GTmrk air front fork, and new gear ratio. Essentially, the Storm G2 is the Mule with suspension and a few elite upgrades!
The Bakcou Storm G2 electric mountain bike was designed and engineered around the unparalleled power and performance of the Bafang Ultra mid-drive motor, with its game-changing torque and dual-speed sensors.
In this video, Dave from Bakcou provides you with a complete overview of the Bakcou Storm model.
Bafang Ultra Mid-Drive Motor
The Bafang Ultra mid-drive motor constantly samples relevant information at a frequency of up to 80k Hz via a torque sensor and two-speed sensors, which are all highly sensitive.
The resulting data on crank torque, vehicle speed and the speed of rotation of the pedals is made available to the controller, ensuring precise control of the vehicle while achieving the highest possible efficiency.
The Max Drive System puts the rider in complete control. In spite of generous power output and a maximum torque of more than 160 N.m, the motor operates in virtual silence. The modular motor design and integrated controller make disassembly easier and improve service responsiveness.

Here is a video review from Pat Lefemine of the Bakcou Storm.
The independent ebike reviewer Electric Bike Report provides a detailed review of the Bakcou Storm. They test road the Storm at the 2021 Big Gear Show in Park City.
They report, in part, that the Storm is "an e-bike designed to go where few others can, the Bakcou Storm is a full-suspension electric fat bike with the soul of a 4×4 and the guts of an ultra-powerful eMTB."
Check out their full review and the video review below.

Bakcou Storm Display Manual Instructions
Here is Cloe from Bakcou. In this video, she provides a complete rundown of the Bafang displays which come with the Mule and Storm models. She explains in detail the functions and how to operate this color LCD display.
Neat little scooter. Very easy to operate. If you are taller than 6 foot it may be too small for you. Perfect to fold away and put in a vehicle. Great price!
The 48v has been terrific for my beach riding. On flat surface and 12mph headwinds, I still went 40 miles and still had battery life. I like the pedal assist much better than my other bike which is either on or off assist. And one gear makes it a moped. Not this bike. Multiple gears, pedal assist. I added extra lights for night time riding too
Have had my 500w for 2 1/2 years. Love it! Love the power going up hills or putting the hammer down, this is a fun bike, a fast bike, a powerful bike! However, they Need to make a rear basket or flatbed for it. Otherwise these are great bikes!
This is my second skylark. My first was stolen and I was so upset that I immediately went online and purchased another. That should speak for itself!!! Thank you so much for your outstanding product!!!!
I bought this Nakto Bike for my 10 year old niece and it's the perfect bike for her! If ever I need another bike like this I will be purchasing from Electric Zip.
Thank you!
I rarely write reviews,but felt it was important to put my opinion out there. You'll never be sorry you made this investment for your health and wellbeing. I got mine (mint green) and within one week my husband wanted one too so we got him the white one. I put well over 500 miles on it in 3 months time and don't have fancy trails to ride on. I rarely use the throttle as the pedal assist is enough and often just use 2 (out of 5) PAS mode. I have found the throttle helpful at an uphill stop sign and need to get through it quickly. It's easy to learn and feel very safe on it. I highly recommend this Bike and supplier. I had a bit of a wait time for the first one, but it was coming from across the ocean. Electric Zip kept me informed the best they could and this was when all of the container ships were backed up at the ports! When we ordered my husband's bike, it was here within the week. I run out of energy well before the battery does. I've never used up the whole battery at one ride! You'll love your decision on this bike once you make it so do it today before they're out of stock. Enjoy the fresh air and be sure to be safe by wearing a good helmet, bright clothing, and using your lights during the day even! Happy rolling!
I absolutely love my Catalina Cruiser I received for my 69th birthday. I have to admit, I was a bit scared at first, but after my maiden voyage, I was hooked!
I am averaging 10 miles a day and burning calories effortlessly. I rarely use the throttle because the pedal assist is so easy.
I am having so much fun on this ebike and I can’t wait to get out on the bike trails in the Fall to enjoy all the beautiful colors.
Hello Electric Zip Team,
Thank you for all your assistance offered in both the chat windows and the company customer service. I could not be more thrilled with my City Cruiser from Electric -ZIP. I can transport it to any location just as I could my former manual bike. I must say I had taken the bike on 4 separate outings. The original charge was still well above 1/2! I can see I will wear out far before my battery life would be of concern. Thank you -I feel like I have the confidence to go out on longer trips. I am so excited to head into Summer.
All the Best,
Mags 🚲
The bikes were received in excellent condition. Went online for assemble instructions and assembled (not to hard). Bike rides and goes easily. Very much enjoying it so far.
