Rambo's must be getting popular. Several dealers are popping up in my area.

I got a rad rover
I have used it for 5 years now ZERO problems. The one thing I found myself using it most was checking game cams around river bottom bean and corn fields. It was awesome . No sweating in 90 degree august heat !!. Only maintenance is oiling the chain and gear selector. It has all the features as high in regular bike. shimano gears kenda tires. I love mine. As I said in post 750 watts. It runs 20 mph and 25 miles on 1 charge without ever pedaling.
Be sure you get fenders !!! it is shipped with front wheel and seat off. But it has quick disconnect front end for rack transport. I got a receiver hitch rack that tilts . Easy to load .
Best money I ever spent for getting around.

Picked up a himiway big dog.

Con
Doesn't look cool but it fits the needs. 400lb capacity and high range. A few down side is small cargo rack (im making a 30” rear rack to carry kids and cargo), kick stand needs higher clearance as I'm hitting softball rocks all the time, and still trying to find a way to fit a bike trailer. I will prob end up making the long rack with attachments. Wish the head light had a high/low beam.

Pros, 10 to 15 mph over rough roads, high cargo cap, pulls hard up most hills and with assistance get up stuff others cant, and carry the kids for fun rides.

Got the 1up bike carrier for speed and convenance. Its Rv and off road rated. But cost a bit of coin.

Overall great bike and got it for transportation. And the kids love riding on it.

I purchased a Quiet Kat at Sportsman's Warehouse a while back and it was a tank. Young mans e bike. Took it back. If I can walk again it will be a lighter bike, probably the Rad. I tried to purchase a Rad and they did not ship, it was up to me. I didn't want to deal with shipping at the time so tried the Quiet Kat, mistake.


I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

The GMC ones seem extra pricey (not that any are cheap)

Been looking hard at this one.

Used a borrowed e-bike on a recent public land deer hunt. They are a game changer for an older hunter.

I will be purchasing one prior to the 2024 Ga spring gobbler season.

It'd be nice to get to your deer stand without being somewhat saturated in sweat.

Yes ride it to base of the tree climb up ladder stand. Great in really cold temperatures you can put all your clothes on without sweating

I get why having a E-bike is so much more easier for a hunter but I just think as I see people riding them ALL over town, some people are so lazy they can't get exercise and ride a normal bike? I do get why it is easier for hunters and older people. But the young people? Back in the day there was no E-bikes just normal bikes and everyone was fine with it!

Back in the day there were horses not cars and everyone was fine with it.

Some brands advertise 30 miles..others 70 miles or more on a single charge. On most all of 'em, if you pedal assist you get many more miles from a charge. I have no idea about very cold weather, but I assume cold would have a negative effect on battery power.

Those fat tires are the main game changer....a must have for a hunting bike.

Lithium batteries do not do well in cold weather. And by cold weather I mean below zero. I have used the bikes at freezing temps without much difference but it drops off fast below that.
