If you're shopping for a hunting e-bike, the two EUNORAU Hunter X7 models are usually the first ones people compare. The FAT-HD 1.0 Pro and the FAT-HD 2.0 share the same 1,000W mid-drive power and 4-inch fat tires, but they're built for different riders. Here's how they compare, so you can pick the right one from our hunting electric bikes lineup.
The Quick Answer
- Choose the FAT-HD 1.0 Pro if you're 5'7" or taller, want the biggest battery on a single charge, and want a rear rack and fenders included. It's also the lower-priced of the two.
- Choose the FAT-HD 2.0 if you want a step-thru frame that's easy to mount in waders or heavy layers, you're between 5'3" and 5'7", or you want more gears for steep climbs and a removable battery with a second-battery option.
What They Have in Common
Both bikes are part of EUNORAU's Hunter X7 line and share the core hardware that matters most in the field:
- 1,000W Bafang mid-drive motor with 160 Nm of torque
- Kenda 26" x 4.0" fat tires for mud, sand, snow and loose gravel
- 375 lb payload capacity (rider plus cargo)
- Ships as Class 2, with a top assisted speed of 20 mph
- Hydraulic disc brakes with motor cutoff
- RST suspension fork, thumb throttle, 5 levels of pedal assist, and front and rear LED lights
In other words, they climb and haul the same way. The differences come down to fit, battery, gearing and what comes in the box.

The Differences That Matter
1. Frame and fit
This is the biggest difference. The FAT-HD 1.0 Pro uses a traditional step-over frame sized for riders 5'7" to 6'4". The FAT-HD 2.0 uses a low step-thru frame that fits riders from 5'3" to 6'4" and lets you step on instead of swinging a leg over the top tube. If you'll be mounting in the dark with a pack on your back, in heavy layers or in waders, the step-thru is noticeably easier.
2. Battery and range
On a single battery, the FAT-HD 1.0 Pro has the clear edge: its 48V 25Ah pack holds 1,200Wh and is rated for up to 60 miles. The FAT-HD 2.0's single 48V 15Ah battery holds 720Wh, so it's better thought of as a day-ride battery. Its 80-mile rating requires the optional second battery. The 2.0's battery is removable, so you can charge it in the truck, cabin or house.
For either bike, expect less range in cold weather, on steep climbs, with heavy loads or when pulling a trailer. Keeping the battery indoors until you ride and starting fully charged helps on cold mornings.
3. Gearing for climbs
The FAT-HD 2.0 has a 9-speed Shimano drivetrain with an 11-32T cassette and a 42T chainring, which gives it a wider gear range and an easier low gear for steep, loaded climbs. The FAT-HD 1.0 Pro runs a 7-speed Shimano with a 12-28T cassette and a 46T chainring. Both motors put out the same 160 Nm, so this mostly affects how smoothly you can match the motor to steep terrain.
4. What comes in the box
The FAT-HD 1.0 Pro arrives with a rear pannier rack and metal fenders already included, so it's ready to carry gear on day one. The FAT-HD 2.0 doesn't include a rack or fenders, so plan to add a rear rack if you'll be hauling gear. For a whole deer on either bike, a game trailer like EUNORAU's two-wheel hunting trailer keeps the weight low and the bike stable (check compatibility with your model).
5. Display and colors
The FAT-HD 2.0 gets a Bluetooth color display, while the 1.0 Pro uses a simpler LCD. If camouflage matters to you, the 1.0 Pro is the one offered in Camo; the 2.0 comes in Safari, Army Green and Mamba.
Which One for Your Situation?
- Long sits and big properties: FAT-HD 1.0 Pro, for the larger single battery.
- Shorter riders or mounting in waders: FAT-HD 2.0, for the step-thru frame and wider size range.
- Hunting and fishing trips: FAT-HD 2.0. It's easy to mount in waders, and the fat tires handle sandy banks and gravel access roads.
- Carrying gear right away: FAT-HD 1.0 Pro, since the rack and fenders are included.
- Steep, hilly ground: both climb well; the FAT-HD 2.0's 9-speed gives you more low-end gearing.
- Tightest budget: FAT-HD 1.0 Pro, the lower-priced of the two.
If your ground is rocky and rough enough that you want full suspension, look at the FAT-HS (Hunter X8) or the SPECTER-S 4.0 (Hunter X9). If deep snow, sand or mud is your biggest problem, the DEFENDER-S 2.0 (Hunter X6) puts a motor in each wheel for all-wheel drive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the FAT-HD 1.0 Pro and FAT-HD 2.0 have the same motor power?
Both use a 1,000W Bafang mid-drive rated at 160 Nm of torque, and both ship as Class 2 with a 20 mph top assisted speed. The 1.0 Pro's motor is the Bafang BBSHD.
Which one has more range?
On one battery, the FAT-HD 1.0 Pro, with a 1,200Wh pack rated for up to 60 miles. The FAT-HD 2.0 can reach a higher rated range of up to 80 miles, but only with its optional second battery.
Can either bike haul a deer?
Yes, with a game trailer. Both are rated for 375 lbs of rider and cargo, and the 160 Nm mid-drive handles loaded climbs well. The rack on the 1.0 Pro is meant for gear; for a whole deer, a trailer or quartering for two trips is the better option.
Where can I legally ride them?
On most public land, e-bikes are treated like motor vehicles, so they're limited to routes open to motorized use. Our guide to hunting with an e-bike covers national forest, BLM and state land rules in detail.
