If you watch outdoor television you’ve probably seen a commercial for QuietKat. I’ll be honest, the first time I saw a commercial for it I was skeptical. “There’s no way that thing can be legit,” I thought as I watched some camo-clad hunter scoot around on it. But after further review, I’m thinking a new breed of kat lover has arrived.
QuietKat is a Portable Electric All-Terrain Vehicle (PE-ATV). The company is now offering units designed specifically for hunting, ranching, trailriding, and even golf.
Silent and stealthy off-road vehicles have boomed over the last decade, but nothing has come along quite like the QuietKat. The folks at QuietKat realize that silent vehicles have changed how we hunt and access properties. Utilizing electric power not only minimizes time and noise, but also diminishes the amount of scent dispersed.
Much of my skepticism of this rig initially came from lumping the QuietKat into the category of a beefed up toy for kids. And that’s simply not the case. QuietKat weighs just over 100 lbs, can produce more than eight horse power, climbs 20 degree grades, and is built in the United States.
A ton of thought and research went in to the making of the QuietKat. The KAT is constructed out of high-grade aluminum ensuring super strength while maintaining an ultra-light weight. Its design incorporates a powerful, silent and sealed direct drive hub motor to navigate any type of terrain. The light-weight mountain bike components, and 5-axis machining make it the ultimate machine for a variety of ranchers, hunters and general outdoorsmen.
Can’t haul an ATA or UTV to your hunting destination? No problem. The QuietKat is likely the most packable off-road machine ever made. From the start it was designed to be compact and portable and can easily be transported in a truck, hitch carrier, trailer, SUV or RV.
