For absolute peace of mind when traveling in the backcountry, look no further than the Mule Jäger. Built around the bomb-proof and time-tested Mule frame, the Mule Jäger adds the reliability of an internal gear hub.
The Rohloff Speed Hub has a whopping gear range of 526%, and you can even shift through the 14 gears without pedaling. The Mule Jäger has no derailleur, giving you nothing to worry about when fighting through heavy foliage and rugged terrain.
This beast is built to pack like a mule with the suspension and gearing to get you there fast. Whether out for a quick trail ride or a week in the backcountry, the Mule Jäger can handle anything you throw at it.
The Mule Jäger was designed and engineered around the unparalleled power and performance of Bafangs ULTRA mid-drive motor. The Ultra motor is widely recognized as the “diesel engine” of mid-drive motors! The all-metal, heavy-duty gearing, combined with the intelligence of an integrated torque sensor make the Ultra motor the most capable, durable, and efficient motor on the planet.
The Ultra motor is also referred to as a “smart motor.” The speed, cadence, shift, brake, and torque sensors provide continuous feedback from the rider to the motor. This allows the motor to deliver exactly what you ask. What you get is a very natural feeling ride, even while providing a tremendous amount of torque and power output.
We included everything that has made the Mule our best-selling eBike and made it even better. The Mule Jäger is everything you want AND everything you didn’t know you wanted, in an incredible and rugged package.
Front fender and headlight are NOT included with the Mule Jäger. If you are interested in purchasing a compatible headlight, please check out the 2200 Lumen GoPro Mount Headlight

Your Guide to Decipher eBike Distance Claims
"How far can this eBike go on a single charge?" This is one of the most common questions we hear at Bakcou. We get it. It can be very confusing when you look at all the distance claims by the different eBike companies out there. For example, one eBike ad will show 80 miles range and another company, with what looks to be a similar eBike, will say 50 miles. Well, who is telling the truth? To be honest, they both are kinda telling the truth. Still confused? Let's see if we can help.
When it comes to eBike battery range, there are a lot of variables at play. Here are the top factors that impact distance:- Battery Size – In simple terms, think of your battery as a gas tank. The bigger the gas tank, the farther you can go. So when considering which eBike to go with, make sure you are looking at the battery size. We explain this in more detail below under Crunching the Numbers.
- Riding Assistance – This is one of the biggest factors that impacts how far you can go. There are two ways the motor on an eBike can help you. The first is pedal assistance. If you are riding most of the way with a high level of assistance, the more battery juice you are consuming. Want to go farther, pump those legs a bit more and use a lower pedal assistance. Second is throttle assistance. Sure it's great to use the throttle when the legs are getting tired or you hit a steep incline. Just remember that the more throttle you use, the less distance you will get out of your battery.
- Weight – We won't ask about your weight here but keep in mind that the heavier you are and the more equipment you have on you, the more your eBike motor has to work, which will decrease your potential range.
- Terrain – Are you riding on flat hills, or tackling tough mountain roads with steep inclines? The tougher the terrain, the more battery power is needed, which will impact the distance.
- Weather & Temperature – Maybe the last thing you would consider, but know that colder temperatures can decrease your battery range by up to 15%. Good thing Bakcou offers battery jackets to keep things cozy and increase your cold weather range.
- Motor Type – Mid-drive motors might offer better range than hub drives because they gel well with gears.
- Other factors to consider – motor size, tire pressure, battery cell quality, how often you start & stop
Crunching the Numbers
It's not just about a powerful motor. It's the battery capacity that tells you how far you can go. eBike battery capacity is measured in Watt-hours, which is calculated by two things: voltage and amp-hours. Let's look at how those two things combine for different results.
Example 1
- eBike A: 24V - 20Ah = 480Wh
- eBike B: 48V - 10Ah = 480Wh
They both have the same Watt-hours and will perform similarly. However, eBike B with the higher voltage has more zip and climbs better, but at the same time, uses more energy.
Example 2
- eBike A: 24V - 20Ah = 480Wh
- eBike B; 24V - 6Ah = 144Wh
Both have the same voltage, but eBike A has a higher amp-hour capacity, which equates to a larger gas tank and that means more distance.
If you are looking for an eBike that's speedy, climbs like a champ, and goes the distance, then you'll need a battery with a high-voltage and high amp-hours. Featuring the biggest single battery on the market at 48V - 25ah, Bakcou eBikes will get you where you want to go and, more importantly, get you back.

Bakcou e-bike faqs

Why do hunters prefer e-bikes over ATVs?
E-bikes are quieter than ATVs, allowing hunters to access remote areas without alerting game. They leave a smaller footprint, reduce scent trails, and can legally access areas where ATVs are restricted.
What’s the best tire pressure for off-road e-biking?
Fat tire pressure should be adjusted based on terrain.
- Sand or snow: 5-8 PSI for maximum floatation
- Mud or loose dirt: 8-12 PSI for better traction
- Rocky trails or pavement: 15-20 PSI for smoother rides
Can an e-bike handle steep hills and rough terrain?
Bakcou e-bikes are designed for extreme terrain. The Bafang Ultra mid-drive motor provides high torque for climbing steep inclines, while full suspension models like the Storm and Scout absorb impacts on rough trails.
How do I maintain a Bakcou e-bike?
Regular maintenance helps extend the lifespan and performance of your e-bike.
- Charge the battery properly and store it at 50-80% charge when not in use
- Keep the drivetrain clean by wiping down and lubricating the chain and gears
- Inspect brakes and tires regularly
- Store indoors to protect the battery and motor from extreme temperatures
How do I extend the lifespan of my Bakcou e-bike battery?
Proper battery care ensures longer lifespan and better performance.
- Avoid fully depleting the battery before recharging. Ideally, recharge when it reaches 20-30%.
- Store the battery at 50-80% charge if not in use for long periods.
- Keep the battery in a cool, dry place and avoid extreme temperatures.
- Use only the recommended charger to prevent overheating or damage.
