Anyone thinking about getting an ebike should know they don't do hills very well. Used mine recently and it won't climb steep inclines well. I wound up walking the bike up hills using the power to kinda pull me along. Just thought I'd share this bit of info.

I have ridden my 750W Fat Kat bike up some pretty steep hills pulling a cart full of treestands and other gear. I have also pulled a deer up a pretty steep grade and the bike didn't balk at all. There's a video of a guy riding a Ebike up a hill in Colorado that's darn near straight up.

What brand? Arent most ebikes supposed assist rather than do all the work?

My bike is a radrover 750 watt motor. I guess I should say it doesn't like going up hills from a stand still position.

Wife and I are talking about getting one for Christmas. If it works out as well as I think it will, we will probably get another one a little later.

Are you using straight throttle or pedal assist?

If you decide on a Fat Kat, use the code "Bucksbullsbears15" and get 15% off any bike and accessories. Saves you up to $500 on a bike when you order from the factory.
