Considering an “E Bike”

[Mr Drysdale]

I am considering purchasing an “e bike” this Fall to get me to and from some stands that are further than I want to walk and don’t want to wake the deer up going in on my side by side. Anyone using them? What brand? Any experience appreciated. TIA

Same. I’ll be watching this thread.

I’ve heard the Costco bike are good with a fair price. My Turkey spot would be a lot easier to get to on a E-bike than my feet. lol.

Been on a trail when a few have went by and they have a weird hum sound. Never got a chance to see if it spooks animals or not. It would be interesting to know if the deer would figure them out or just think it’s bigfoot strolling past?

Sounds like a good idea.

Are electric side by sides a thing yet? I have no clue I don’t hunt where you need one.

They are starting to market them. But I understand they don't do well on battery charge life in really cold weather.

Seems you could tote an extra battery if needed. Or put a lift kit on a Tesla

Just remeber ebikes are motorized and different land manager have different rules with motorized transportation.

We have used a few brands, mostly Bakcou and Quiet Kat. The each have their own benefits, riding is honestly the best way.
