Best e-bike for hunting?

[Jfkbeast2]

i am looking at all the e-bike companies and was wondering if there was general consensus on what the best brand was for reliability and effectiveness?

I have 2 Hemingways and cart, and I love them never had a problem both north of 1,000 miles only repairs have been breaks, does good and will pull all my stuff and a deer out ..
that said if I was buying a new one today I’d look at something that has front and rear wheel drive . Wasn’t an option when I bought mine .

Nice I’ll check out. I’ve been looking at Rambo and Bakcou but I’m also worried about their performance vs an ATV.

I am in the camp that I think ATVs push elk so I’ve been looking at electric but haven’t been able to bring myself to buy an electric quad

Amflow makes really great e Mtn bikes. Much more rideable than the too heavy ‘hunting’ bikes.

I researched quite a bit on e-bikes and landed on the Bakcou Storm G2. Once they went on sale I snatched one up. For my use it was the best option. Lots of different options out there.

if you dont mind me asking, what is primary use case? elk, muleys, whitetails or maybe all of them. and what type of country? western or eastern US?

I’ve been using a bakcou storm e-bike. It has worked great for the last two seasons. Very reliable while some of my friends have problems with their cheaper brands. My dad and brother have used mokwheel e-bikes and they have worked perfectly fine with great customer service. But they do not compare to the bakcou’s power and mid drive motor. They have to work to get up tough hills while I can just throttle myself up without having to pedal when it’s too rocky and you need your feet down for potential crashes. Haha.

So far 3 of my friends and family have switched to bakcou now.

What’s your budget ? IME the mid-level (~$3-5k) bikes are the best value but if you’re only going to use it once a year for hunting season you could get by with less…

If you can afford it, I would highly recommended a fat tire bike with front suspension and most importantly, the Bosch mid-drive system. Avoid the Chinese hub drive bikes if at all possible unless you like working on stuff.

I will say at my work we have two electric quads and they are hands down better then the gas’s versions that came before them . Only downside obviously Is charging, and remains to be seen how long the batts last.

But in use and operationally for a business that can charge them daily they are significant improvements to their gas counterparts.


I don’t own one but have ridden my buddies amflow a couple dozen times, and it is really nice. Feels much more like an actual bike than a lot of ebikes I’ve ridden. Not sure on its ability to tow though.
