Can’t use those on WMA’s can you? All the signs say road closed to motorized vehicles…plus all gates are locked.

It all depends on wattage in most states. Some recognize e-bikes some don't care.


How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

Oh Geeze Swamp.

We're gonna have to take away your man card !!!

You went ahead & bought the girl's model without the
horizontal man bar so you won't catch your skirt on it !!! laugh

Where on it do you hang your purse ? laugh

There goes all those calories burned with all that
turkey hunting walking exercise your gonna miss.

That e-bike will probably take at least
10 years off your life expectancy.

walleyed,

Yep, I reckon the man card is GONE! Lol

There will come a day when I won't be able to lift my leg up high enough to thow over a man bike, so I planned ahead.

Plus, with a climber strapped on rear rack, I won't have to lean the bike and over-balance it to get on it.

Purse will be bungeed to front rack..lol

That day has already arrived for me many years ago. I was just picking on you.

Fact is I would be buying that girly model myself if I had
the extra american greenbacks laying around but I
have to save enough money for my GERITOL !!! laugh

I figured out real quick you lay the bike down. Step over it . Pick up the handle bars so you are on it . Like stepping into a pair of waders.

I bought the girl model also! I had already tried riding an old fashioned nut buster bike with all my tree swinging gear, so I knew that was not going to work out.
Another big reason was that in those days I was keeping my scent as low as possible and the e-bike allowed me to get very close without breaking a sweat. I was taking scent control to extreme in those days, even wearing a “burner” tshirt that I ziplocked and changed once in the tree. Swishing my mouth with peroxide every hour or so. It absolutely worked, but it was work.
Then a few years ago my drive to chase the big bucks just about disappeared. Now I hunt stinky again and if they walk downwind its over. Full circle. Back to taking does for the freezer. Bucks are the result of luck.

I ain't backtracked yet. I purely love hunting a known mature whitetail buck...especially with my bow.

Yes it cuts down on scent. But on a 15 degree morning when you plan on sitting all day you don’t have to carry your clothes to the tree. That’s a big reason guys get froze out of the tree. Get soaked with sweat walking in. Only way to prevent is carry some clothes or ride a bike ,
Yes I got the boys version

So after you ride that thing a mile or more into your stand, how do you get your buck out of the woods?

Yes E-bike are a game changer in hunting for sure I bought mine 2 years ago and did a few mod's to it too. You should look at these gun racks that I installed, best racks I've seen. Also you might want to find a Hawk game cart to pull behind your bike. Saddlebags are almost a must for a spare chain, tools, rain jacket, snacks/drinks, first-aid kit, cable & lock. Looks like you have a really nice start on modifying your bike already.
A guy can cover miles in no time at all while turkey hunting. And the best part of it is turkeys aren't scared of the bike if you hop off it real quick and leave it right in the middle of the fire trail and get set up for Mr. Long Beard.
