[QUOTE="102, post: 5267812, member: 1462"] So I bought one. After TONS of research and many phone calls I bought one. Then I took my hitch haul and welded a couple a couple rectangular 3/4 inch narrow tubes on the back to haul it (and a deer). Then I bought a used kids cart and put the quick hitch coupler on the rear axle. Then a found a golf bag caddy in a friends garage who gave it to me and I hooked a carabiner clip to it and it hooks to my rear rack. The kid cart will easily haul a 180 pound dressed buck while the golf caddy (needs straps) will handle average size does. So here's the scoop on the e-bikes. MOST are waaaaay too pricey! For sake of simplicity I'll divide these into two categories 1-Rear hub motor 2-Mid Hub motor (crank/pedal) I suggest 1000 watt motor. Although 750 is acceptable. The mid hub motor generally has more low end torque. It pulls better and will start off slower. But generally speaking, these are VERY expensive. (think Rambo bike) The rear hub motor is more affordable. The low end torque is not as good but it is more affordable. I chose (after much research) Aventon Aventure (spelled correctly, not A "D" venture) It comes with a 750 watt rear hub motor. And a computer on the handlebars that can be synched to a smart phone. I downloaded the Aventon App and now my peak watt is 1140. I'm 64 (next month) and hunt like a retired 64 yearly should...A WHOLE BUNCH! I dragged a fat doe across a cut bean field the other day. I'm over 200 lbs, had a tree stand/pack on my back. A bow in my bow holder (mounted on handlebars), and used my tree rope to wrap around the does neck while the other end of the rope was clipped to my rear bike rack. My battery had not been charged in days so I drug her out across the ground (200 yards) with a low battery and severely decreased power outage, just to really give it a tough real world test! The bike SHINED and never slowed down! BTW, some public land won't let you access ebikes with over 750 watts. Another plus for Aventon. Just open the app and select! Top speed on this bike is, well, DANGEROUS! 36 MPH for an old fat guy on a bicycle? But it's fun! I'm sure there are many confused public land hunters where I frequent, who are still scratching their heads trying to figure out the weird "WHEEEEE" sound was they heard from the general direction the trail while sitting on their stand. And turkey hunting! Imagine traveling MILES slowly, effortlessly, through gobbler territory, all the while LISTENING! GAME CHANGER! Aventon comes in under 2K. There are discounts available through Gov X ( for qualified). [/QUOTE]
