Public land access rig

[Vermin93]

If you are going to pull a trailer, you will want a motorized bike or you will be a ball of sweat by the time you reach your stand. I've got a bike and trailer set up for Ames that uses two motors front and back with a total of (5) 12 volt batteries. The rig is heavy but effective. It will haul a deer out too. The entire rig was less than $1000.

I would love to see a picture of this rig.

For the reason you point out, I have heard that an electric bike is best. I have also read that front drive is preferred over rear wheel, given cost and weight.

Doesn't the motor make it illegal for public access that only allows foot or bicycle travel?

Would depend on the applicable regulations. As I understand, you pedal the bike as normal and flip the switch when going up a steep hill, hauling game or gear, etc.
