Been really looking at this as a way to cover more ground quietly while turkey hunting. Looking at Rambo and Quiet Cat. Thanks for any suggestions!

Bookmarked. I’ve also looked at Radrover.

I want one but here in Washington State they are considered a motorized vehicle and therefore banned on public lands not expressly designated as accessible by motorized vehicle which means you'd have to leave it at the gate and I can do that with my truck.

I know a couple who have his and her ebikes and they are great! Their's are street cruisers, not mountain type bikes, but I can drag my Beavertail Final attack with 3 dozen floaters in it, a gun and a blind bag behind their bike with minimal effort....just pretend you are pedaling and the thing goes on its own. It is a little tough to get moving with the boat behind it but it beats dragging the damned thing 2 miles. Washington is reviewing their determination that ebikes are motorized vehicles but I bet they don't make them legal to use. Its a shame because a company in Seattle makes the ones my friends have and they sell a lot of them.

Those are crazy expensive and I have been looking at them as well.

I was leaning mote towards a $1000 special from a local bike shop in BR that has been advertising online

Since you have two and obviously have experience with them, care to answer the OP's question?

I wouldn't buy either of those. I would buy a off brand with the same parts or just build your own. Majority of what people are doing is just paying for re-branding. That's just me though.

What's wrong with a regular bicycle and a rattle can paint job?

I’m lazy and want to be able to forge ahead effortlessly at 20 mph on a gravel road. If I can do the 2-3 mile walk in -10 min or less without breaking a sweat it’s much better.

It really comes in handy if you shoot something and need to drag it back to the truck.

Don't have any recommendations on brand, but they are fricking awesome.

I bought a motorized bike at sams years ago before all this shite started for about 400 bucks. It was the exact same bike that is now selling for 1200 bucks but that was before they discovered they could remarket it for 3x as much as a woodsman hunting bike. I loved it and I thought about taking it hunting but kids didn’t like it so I took it back.
