HJM is the brand I went with after hour/days of internet research. Not sure of the top speed, but I think its upper-20s mph. That's too fast on a logging road...lol
It is 750w and is hub drive (motor is in the rear wheel hub.) Many models available are mid-drive ( the motor is at the pedals). I won't go into the pro and cons of the drives....you need to do some research based on your terrain.
There is NO question (for me) that a bike being used for hunting needs to be a step-thru version. When gear or game is strapped to the racks, you dont have to lean the bike to get on it...thereby unbalancing the rig. Keep.it upright and get on and go.
Also, the step-thru frame makes it much better for us older hunters to even get on it.
I bought the HJM about 18 months ago. Paid $1500 new. Shipped from New Jersey by Southeastern Freight Lines...I.picked it up at their terminal 20 miles from here.
I added the wide rear rack (Rambo accessory) and the gun rack (Kolpin). Some brands dont come with critical accessories such as fenders, racks, lights....and those will have to be purchased separately....$$$!
About the only feature that makes an ebike a so-called "off-road hunting" ebike is the factory camouflage paint....lol. I just ordered a black one.....easy to hide.
I love mine! Zero complaints. It's keeping this old man in the game. It's one of the best purchase decisions I've ever made.
Good luck on choosing and using your ebike.
