There’s a certain kind of electric bike buyer who’s done reading spec sheets and just wants to know one thing: will this bike actually hold up?
The Kingbull Hunter 2.0S in Forest Green is the answer to that question. Not because of what it promises — because of what it’s already proven, and what it’s quietly improved in this generation.
Here’s what’s changed, what’s stayed, and why the current launch price makes it a difficult offer to ignore.
The Green Is a Statement, Not Just a Color
Most e-bike colorways are afterthoughts. Forest Green on the Hunter 2.0S is not.
It signals the environment this bike belongs in: packed dirt trails, gravel fire roads, tree-lined commutes where the path changes surface every half mile. The muted, rugged tone looks like a bike that’s been somewhere, not one that’s still waiting to leave the garage.
If aesthetics don’t factor into your decision, skip ahead. If they do, this is the best-looking version of the Hunter yet.
Three Things That Got Better
Kingbull didn’t rebuild the Hunter 2.0S from scratch. They identified the three areas that mattered most to real-world riders and fixed them.
Cruise Control — for the rides that actually tire you out
Long flat stretches are where fatigue sneaks up on you. Not because they’re hard, but because holding a throttle steady for 20, 30, 40 minutes adds up in ways you don’t notice until you stop. The Hunter 2.0S addresses this with a cruise control function that kicks in after 10 seconds of steady throttle input. Speed holds itself. Your hand relaxes. The ride gets noticeably better on exactly the kind of terrain — rail trails, river paths, open roads — where you want to enjoy the surroundings instead of managing the bike.
80-Mile Range — because 55 wasn’t always enough
The previous Hunter 2.0 ran a 48V 15Ah battery. Capable, but limiting for riders who push beyond 30 miles round-trip or use the bike as a primary vehicle. The 2.0S bumps this to a 48V 18Ah (864Wh) pack, and the effect is straightforward: estimated range climbs to up to 80 miles per charge under pedal assist. That’s enough to stop thinking about the battery and start thinking about the ride.
Charge it Sunday night. Ride it all week.
Integrated Turn Signals — the safety feature that should have been standard everywhere
Every car has turn signals. Most motorcycles have them. Most e-bikes in this price range don’t — and it shows, every time a rider needs to signal a turn and has to choose between taking a hand off the bars and just hoping traffic figures it out. The Hunter 2.0S fixes this with built-in turn indicators integrated directly into the lighting system. It’s a small addition that changes the dynamic between you and every other road user you share space with.
What Was Already Good and Stays That Way
The upgrades are the news. But the reason riders trust the Hunter line in the first place is the platform underneath.
A 750W rear hub motor producing 80Nm of torque handles the terrain where most e-bikes start making excuses — steep grades, loaded cargo, mixed surfaces in quick succession. The 7-speed Shimano drivetrain keeps pace with whatever gradient you’re dealing with, shifting reliably in conditions where cheaper components start to slip.
The 26″ × 4.0″ CST fat tires do what fat tires do best: they absorb what the road throws at them and keep the bike tracking straight when the surface gets unpredictable. Sand, snow, gravel, wet pavement — traction holds. The front suspension fork with mechanical lockout lets you tune the ride character to the surface: open when the ground gets rough, locked when you want efficiency on smooth tarmac.
Stopping comes from dual hydraulic disc brakes — not mechanical, not cable-actuated, hydraulic. On a wet descent or an unexpected stop in city traffic, that distinction matters more than any spec sheet makes it sound.
The frame is high-carbon steel. It carries a rear cargo rack as standard. Full fenders come included. The color LCD display shows everything you need — speed, assist level, charge remaining, distance — without clutter. The bike arrives 85 percent assembled.
The Price Deserves Its Own Section
Standard retail on the Hunter 2.0S is $1,699. That’s what it’s worth.
Right now, it’s $899.
That’s $800 off at launch, plus a complimentary bundle of a combination lock and portable air pump included with every order. The promotion runs while stock is available — there’s no scheduled end date, but there is a finite number of units.
If you’ve been watching the e-bike market long enough to know what a 750W hydraulic-brake fat-tire bike with 80-mile range typically costs, you already know this number is unusual. If you haven’t — it is.

Who Should Buy This
The Hunter 2.0S isn’t trying to be everything to everyone. It’s for the rider who:
- Commutes daily and wants a bike that handles bad weather without drama
- Rides trails on weekends and needs the traction that the road bike can’t provide
- Has owned a cheaper e-bike and knows exactly what it was missing
- Wants one bike that covers both use cases without compromise
