[QUOTE="scott63, post: 1637665, member: 93331"] I enjoyed the read on the electric bikes as I've been hunting off mtn bikes for about 14 years. I wish I gotten into the ebikes about 10 years ago as it would have opened a lot of territory where I used to hunt. Unfortunately that entire 273k acres is now closed to any activity at all. Not sure how much use my bike will get now. A couple of things I wanted to mention, one is the spelling of "tyre" seems odd, might want to change that to "tire". The other thing is your dislike for the hub motor bikes. When I was researching ebikes the one thing that seemed to come up a lot is that when people break chains and either don't have a repair link or can't repair the chain due to the break, the mid drive bike is basically a coaster while the hub drive could still be used until the battery was depleted. While I would only consider myself as slightly above average in regards to being in shape, I have ridden my hub drive ebike while peddling up a 45 degree incline for some distance, where with mtn bikes I would walk that section. I am the type that rides with the bike off or in "1" until I reach an incline, then use the bike motor to help. My hunting partner tries to treat his bike as a scooter, as a result he gets a quarter to half of the range that I do. The brand I went with was Pedego and I've been very happy with it but I've only had it about 4 years. Unfortunately I only put about 650 miles on it before the land I hunted was sold and is now off limits. You should name names as far as brands of bike you have used and their pro's/con's in the book.Overall a good read for someone researching ebikes for hunting. Best regards Scott [/QUOTE]
