good idea if you deal with mostly hard ground...can't imagine it having enough battery capacity to do much, though.

That one I posted is 19 Miles full electric. If you use the hybrid electric peddle option, it is basically endless.

I would guess that spec is derived from running the thing on flat pavement and is not what you would see in the real world...riding off road would take a hell of a lot more power, and I just don't see the place for enough batteries on that bike.

fwiw, I am comparing to golf carts that I have used off road.

I like them but don't think they'd work most places I go.

its essentially a heavy mountain mike so if you are shape, you could pedal through steep and muddy parts and would not have to rely on the battery. Save that for long straightaways.

I have one and love it. Check out rad power bikes. They are about half what Rambo and quite cat are, and are basically the same bike.

Can you haul a deer out easily? You mainly use the assist feature?

Im lazy so I don't usually peddal unless I need to help out getting up a steep hill lol. Rambo makes a cart that you can pull behind the bike to carry out deer. I'm sure it will work with the rads to. I use mine for feeding and checking cameras. You can get a bag of corn on the back rack just have to tie it off. If you were hunting on public land it is legal to take it motorized vehicles aren't allowed.

Do you know if there is a watt limit for it to be legal?

A friend had some gocycles and he’d be doing like 10 mph up a 7% grade no pedals. Also had great range 25 miles in hills

If I see someone come peddling by my stand with camo, gear & gun on a bike. I may lose my shite laughing.

I don't have an ebike but I've been seriously considering the Radrover fat bike. I hunt public land where you can't drive down the roads. So I started riding a bike down them a couple years ago. Put a gun rack on the handlebars to make it a little easier.

I passed 2 guys one morning about 5:30 walking in. I scared the shite out of them! They didn't hear me until I got right behind them. We all had a good laugh!

But these roads are all downhill going in, uphill coming out. Sometimes I'd rather walk coming out when I have my climber on my back. I hope to have one for next season.
