Following its June 29, 2026 acquisition by Rad Life Mobility (a subsidiary of Life Electric Vehicles Holdings) from Revelyst Inc., QuietKat gained access to approximately 1,200 US dealers and 80 Canadian dealers, materially expanding its physical distribution footprint. Co-founded by Justin Roach and Jake Roach who serve as Co-Chief Executive Officers, QuietKat now operates alongside Rad Power Bikes and Serial 1 within a three-brand e-mobility portfolio spanning utility, premium lifestyle, and off-road segments. The primary customer base is fragmented across hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, urban commuters, e-mountain bikers, fishing enthusiasts, campers/overlanders, and government/tactical users, with the hunting/outdoor enthusiast segment representing the core focus.
