Get Into the Backcountry Quieter, Deeper, and More Loaded Than Ever.
At basin + bend, we carry the QuietKat Apex because it's the hunting ebike we'd ride ourselves. Silent mid-drive motor. Fat tires that eat up any terrain. A frame built to haul serious gear. And right now, we have it priced at $3,999 — $1,700 below MSRP — making it one of the best values in hunting e-bikes on the market.
Whether you're packing into a remote elk unit, hauling a deer out of the timber, or scouting new country without spooking everything in a two-mile radius, the Apex is built for exactly that kind of work.
750W vs. 1000W — Which Motor Is Right for You?
Both motors use the same mid-drive platform and the same 48V battery system. The 1000W is the pick for steep, technical terrain — think mountain elk country, heavy loads, or riders who want maximum torque on every climb. The 750W is street-legal in more states and still delivers serious power for most hunting applications. If you're hunting flat to rolling country or primarily using forest roads and two-tracks, the 750W is plenty. Not sure? Call us — we'll help you choose based on where you actually hunt.
Why Hunters Choose the Apex
- Silent mid-drive motor — get within range without announcing yourself to every animal on the mountain

- Integrated pannier rack built into the frame — attach bags, bow holders, tool mounts, or a trailer without aftermarket hacks
- Kenda Juggernaut 26" x 4.5" fat tires — mud, snow, rocks, roots — it handles all of it
- Veil Caza Camo option — blends into the field, not just the parking lot
- Compatible with QuietKat single and two-wheeled trailers for hauling even more gear
