We have read all expert and user reviews on the Rattan Quercus. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
14 reasons to buy
- Rattan offers the Quercus with the choice of one or two 960Wh batteries.
- Testers relish the quick throttle acceleration and responsive pedal assist.
- The FastAce hydraulic brakes demonstrate strong stopping power in testing.
- Experts find the Quercus comfortable over light off-road terrains and bumpy pavement.
- The Quercus comes with fenders, a rear rack rated for 300lb, a headlight, and a taillight with brake activation and turn signals.
- Most testers praise the motor’s climbing performance, saying it handles steep inclines well.
- The Quercus has an above-average payload capacity of 450lb.
- Experts appreciate the comfortable upright riding position.
- The 4.5A charger delivers quick charging times.
- Using PAS 5 and Normal assist mode, a 185lb tester of the single-battery build gets 55 miles of range.
- The Quercus comes with dual-legged and single-sided kickstands.
- The color display has a USB-A port to charge devices on the go.
- Reviewers say the Quercus is easy to maneuver for a heavy e-bike.
- The choice of cast mag wheels mean broken spokes aren’t a worry.
8 reasons not to buy
- Testers reach speeds over 30mph using the throttle and pedal assist, breaching e-bike speed limits.
- Weighing 82lb or 93lb with the second battery, the Quercus is heavy, even for a cargo bike.
- One tester describes the initial power delivery as jumpy, whether using throttle or pedal assist.
- The bike’s stated fit is 5’3” to 6’5”. While a 6’5” rider finds it comfortable, riders at the shorter end may not fit due to the 32.6” minimum seat height.
- The display is difficult to read through polarized sunglasses.
- A tester complains that the chain rubs the center-mounted kickstand and the derailleur cable.
- The Quercus lacks footrests, a rear wheel guard, and passenger-carrying accessories, making it less passenger-friendly.
- Reviewers say the assembly instructions are unclear.
Bottom line
Rattan’s Quercus is a utility e-bike with fat tires, a 750W motor, a 960Wh battery, and an optional second 960Wh battery. Testers praise the quick acceleration, strong brakes, and comfortable ride. The range, climbing performance, and high payload capacity also impress. However, the 30mph top speed means the bike is illegal to ride on public roads in the US. Other drawbacks include a jerky initial power delivery, high weight, chain rub, and an exaggerated fit range. Despite these flaws, experts consider the Quercus a solid contender in the entry-level utility e-bike segment.Expert Reviews
