I have been mulling around the idea of trading my dirtbike for an E-bike when it comes to hunting season. Most of the areas I hunt are behind gates where you cant ride a dirtbike but you can ride a bicycle. Rad Rover is local to me and they have a 275 or 300lb carrying capacity model with a +/- 20 mile charge.
Ive seen the Quiet Cat and some others advertised on television but Im curious if anyone here uses one. |

I keep thinking the same. I have an old Mt bike that could be retrofitted. Almost need a trailer though to carry out elk quarters.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By J-L: I have been mulling these over as well, but some of the areas I hunt, you can ride a bike or horse but no atvs..... and I believe some of the signs say no motorized travel - and this would qualify as it is electric , I gotta do a little more research even if they are allowed now, Im sure outfitters will bitch about them and CPW DOW will limit their use I have used a mountain bike as a hunt rig. If I could afford an electric assist bike I would be all over it. FWIW, make sure your trail skills are up to speed because your pack and/or trailer will change the flow on a trail. |

I want one but the price tags are are pretty high. The ones that get my attention are 6-7k.

I ended up buying a RadRover and it was good for what it was. I tended to use it a little more as a moped than an assisted bike so I didn't get the full 25 or so miles out of the charge but it carried me and my gear well...I wouldn't know about with an animal because all the elk in my GMU successfully evaded me.

Elk? What is the bike rated to carry? I would think a trailer might be needed?
More details pictures if you have the time. |

Awesome. I rode a friend’s quiet cat in elk camp and was very impressed

I've been eying one of these (UBCO 2x2) it's more of a road-legal moped than an e-bike but with a 75-mile range and lots of options to haul stuff on it.

Tag for interest! I've been thinking about getting a fat bike with drive assist for this very reason!
