These e-bikes are probably more reliable than a Chevy Colorado.

That’s the thing putting out $1,000 to $2,000 for something that won’t last but a few years maybe, I guess you would still have a spendy bike then so it’s not a total loss then. LOL I looked at the electric scooters also but they are not a bike so they are out.

Rambo ebikes are popular on some of the archery sites. And they're third to half of that price

Park your horse or mule in the garage for a couple months between uses and see how that goes for you. Plus horses and Mules are a thousand times more expensive and time consuming.

You definitely get what you pay for in these bikes. Just the difference between the Rambo's hub drive and the mid drive of the more expensive bikes is like the difference between a Yugo and a Escalade. Most of the other companies make cheap mid drive bikes to compare with the Rambo. BakCou's is called the flatlander.

How are those e bikes at packing dead elk? Could get a old guy over his head if you zipped in 10mi back behind a gate and you can't carry what you shot out.

Turn big elk to little elk pieces. .Might need several trips

It would be impossible for a bike to go where a mule or horse could. I have been on a mule, where I had to just look straight ahead, trust the mule and hope for the best. It may be a little hard for a bike to swim across a river.

Law Dog get one with a belt ddrive if you do. no sproket gears or chain to ever worry about and grease.chews weeds right up and takes the abuse

I don’t mind spending the money if I get the value, the belt sounds better then a plastic gear thing for sure having a mechanical background I see the advantage of the belt overall. I just think of every battery operated tool I ever had that became useless well at least about 95% of them. LOL

I dont think comparing a mule or a horse to a bike is really what anyone is trying to do—-except those getting defensive of their mule or horse. Most people dont wanna keep a horse or mule around. Those bikes are awesome and would easily carry out a turkey and all the gear. If i hunted bigger ground id get one in a heartbeat.

there is a reason horses are called hay burners

If the bike quits I can peddle it out but the horse/mule I’d have to shoot it like in the cowboy movies. LOL

The cheaper bikes have nylon gears in the Bafang motor, the better ones are brass. I learned the importance of that the hard way.

Not sure about battery life but I have bout doz. Dewalts that are at least 15 yrs old and are used almost daily

I have some 19.2 Craftsman batteries some still good some not, do you hear any complaints about battery life the ones I found on line looked to be $200-$400 for replacement batteries.
