Battery and Motor

We all know that the battery and hub motor are crucial for what the bike can do and how it applies to your intended use. The Ranger cargo ebike has a remarkable battery life, rated for 900 full charge cycles. It is powered by a 750W continuous brushless geared hub motor, making it effortless to carry heavy loads and climb steep hills. The Ranger has an 840Wh battery capacity, allowing you to ride up to 60 miles on a single charge.

Abound's rear hub motor delivers a sustained performance of 750W, making it a powerful option.

The RadWagon's battery has a 672Wh capacity, while the Ranger's battery has a capacity of 840Wh, providing an additional 15-20 miles of range compared to the RadWagon.

The KBO Ranger is undoubtedly the winner in this category.

 

Frame

The Ranger and Abound models both have step-through frames and offer carrying capacity, making them convenient and suitable for a wide range of riders. On the other hand, the RadWagon4 model has a mid-step frame, which may not be as accommodating for riders with shorter legs or smaller frames.

 

 

Brakes

The KBO Ranger and RadWagon4 both feature Mechanical Disc Brakes, while the Abound is equipped with Hydraulic Disc Brakes. Hydraulic brakes are known to provide superior stopping power with less effort. If you have the budget for it, upgrading to hydraulic brakes can be a wise investment.

 

Pedal Assist

Exactly as it sounds, pedal assist provides assistance when you start pedaling by powering up your E-Bike’s motor automatically to make pedaling easier. Pedal assist provides both speed and power – the higher the pedal assist level, the faster you will go. If you’re trying to power up a hill or speed along on flat terrain, levels 5 will provide more assistance.

 

Quick Charger

Quick charging means less waiting time for you to get back on the road or trail and enjoy yourself. The faster your bike charges, the sooner you can hit the road again. With just 5 hours needed to fully charge the KBO Ranger and Abound's batteries, you can reduce the time between rides and keep up with your fast-paced riding needs.

 

Other KBO Ranger Highlight 

Extra-large, Adaptable Rear Rack

The sturdy aluminum rear rack can support loads of up to 120 pounds. You can take a ride with your loved ones, transport your children from school, or transfer some heavy equipment.

Other Abound Highlight 

The torque sensor

The torque sensor provides that natural riding experience on longer routes, giving rider’s more control over how much effort they exert along the way.  

 

Everything is up to you

The Ranger beats both the Abound and RadWagon4 in a few key areas. The main differences between the Ranger and Abound are the torque sensor and hydraulic brakes. If you can afford it, the Abound is a great choice. But if you're a first-time cargo bike buyer or just need an everyday option, the KBO Ranger is the most cost-effective choice.
