Description
Overview
The Bakcou Kodiak SD AWD is a high-performance all-wheel-drive utility eBike built for hunters, anglers, and outdoor riders who need maximum traction in snow, mud, sand, and steep terrain. Instead of a single mid-drive motor, the Kodiak SD AWD runs dual 750W Bafang gear-reduction hub motors—one in the front wheel and one in the rear—giving you the flexibility to power the front, rear, or both wheels for confident control when conditions get unpredictable.
