Ordered me an e-bike. It arrived today!

Used one that belonged to a cuz on a deer/hog last November. They are a game changer in the amount of ground you can cover quickly & quietly.

I'll be able to cover my hunting properties quietly and quickly this spring turkey hunting. Dang all that walking!

Then when bow season rolls around this fall...oh yeah!!

Gonna purchase a few accessories like a gun/bow rack and a wider platform for the back rack to hold my Summit climber. And a deer cart.

I think I'm gonna like this thing....

Keep thinking I should get one but I’m so darn cheap.

How many calories burned per mile?
I sure can see the beauty of not leaving scent going to a treestand.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Be careful a neighbor has one because of back issues cracked up in the dark and cost him all of gun season except first day

Have to run it in a lower gear and easy on the throttle...especially in the dark.

It has a good LED headlight, but gonna put a green LED head light on it b4 this fall's bow season.

I'm really excited about being able to quietly get way back in on the logging roads before dawn...and not have to walk 2 miles.

No calories burned if you chose power mode. With pedal assist you can burn a few by choice.

These bikes keep an older hunter in the woods and allows him to reach the good spots like he did when he was younger...lol

I actually got stopped on my ebike about 8 years ago by a game warden. No lights, he just slowed beside me and asked me to stop. We call them conservation officers here, but I was riding home in the dark with my full saddle gear and a longbow. He asked me if I had been hunting, I said yes. He asked to see my license, then wanted to talk archery and the local buck population. Which happened to be one of my favorite topics. He had grown up in that area and it was a good chat. He also hunted his parents place nearby. He ended up sending a significant amount of beaver work my way in his short year or two stationed in this district. Seems like the DNR does not like CO’s patrolling their hometown, and they get moved to a different district if they end up on home turf. Ive seen it a few times, so that does not make it a thing, but I have to wonder. Kind of makes sense, the officer would not have to deal with citing high school buddies.

Get you a good headlamp to wear also. Makes it easier to spot logs rocks and cows if going thru a pasture before daylight

Also change out the seat. Don’t know how old you are but that one will make mashed potatoes out of your tator tots on rough ground. I put a wide one on mine Worth every penny of the 29 bucks

Milk crate works good. Gun rack is wasted money if you have a sling on your rifle. Plus the jarring it takes if you ride it far But I carry my rifle bandelaro style then if you see a deer you just stop lay bike over boom. On crop tag farm 80% of the doe tags I’ve filled come on that bike riding it along the river bottom

Remember the life of the battery is charging it after every use. No matter how short the ride. Don’t leave it plugged in. Check it and when light is green unplugged it. You will love it. Great tool for checking cameras in hot summer also
