First Look: The Felt Outfitter E-Fatbike for Hunting & Adventures
Welcome to America!
Fat tyres, camouflage paint and a carbon hunting bow on the trailer – the Felt Outfitter definitely was a Interbike highlight on demoday in Las Vegas. The e-fatbike with trailer is especially made for hunters and people who seek adventure. One has the immediate wish to grab a cowboy helmet and to start riding.
Yeehaa!
The Felt Outfitter’s frame is delivered with special caouflage paint and comes with a Bosch center motor. Inline cables ensure a clean and tidy appearence and should help to avoid cable damage.
The fully suspended trailer offers enough space for additional batteries, a sleeping bag and further essential equipment. Felt has been experimenting with several solar solutions in order to be able to charge the batteries in the middle of nowhere. The bike itself offers further attachment possibilities for bags on rear and front carriers.
