E Bikes and hunting - anyone tried it?

[Moosehead]

If the COVID doesn't kill me, I will post a review on my experiences this fall. I've been having too much fun on the thing so far. It's a good way to escape from the world and get outside.

I use a regular mountain bike to cover ground quicker than walking then hike offroad when the trails end, the sweating is the worst part when it's below freezing. ~3km of riding even layered down and I'm sweating like a . I wouldn't want to leave an expensive bike unattended on public land though so I can't see spending the cash on an e- bike I'd probably be worried about it the whole time.

It's really nice they are getting so efficient and seem to be coming down in price so who knows.

Not the same thing but always thought about bringing a bike along when fishing with my boat so I don't have to pay for parking. A lot of government places charge to park your vehicle/trailer but not to launch the boat. Rational, launch the boat, drive off to a parking site (road) then bike back
Curious how it works out for you, definitely something I have thought about doing while hunting too.

My son just bought an ebike last week and absolutely loves it. It is more meant for bike paths though.

My next UTV will probably be something with load carrying capacity and electric.
Some nice products being manufactured.

....to find your boat ransacked by some low life.
I get nervous leaving the boat just to pull the vehicle off the ramp

But if you have two people, one stays with the boat, the other goes to park and comes back with the bike.... Lock the bike to a light pole....
Bronte comes to mind... Just thinking out loud.

Maybe I'm just a little jaded but I'd be worried the whole time about leaving the bike and really annoyed if i'd had to walk back to the vehicle.

Ya, it would have to be a really cheap beater peddle bike, not one of those electric bikes....

This has me very interested....would be perfect for many of my properties. Did you get a game cart with it?

Fish-On,
Its a 48 v Lithium battery - needs 120v to charge and takes about 5hrs on "empty". If you drive in the lowest pedal assist, cruising dirt roads you can get 30k on it easily. The big mountain bike is around 70lbs. Tires are 4 inches wide! Not sure if we can post links here to business sites but I can PM you where I got it. It has a throttle like an ATV - push it when going up hills and it works great. Hope this helps answer your questions.

Can you pm where purchased, thanks.
