Getting my mind off politics...Hunting bikes.

I've had a QuietKat that was total junk IMO.
Currently have a Yammee Fat Bear(china) and a Rambo. Both are nice bikes.
For the cost, I would buy the Yammee again 10 times over the QuietKat or Rambo.
They're well built with name brand components and they fold in half.

Guess it depends on your needs. I am only using it to access stands or blinds, and then back to the barn or vehicle.
 
I have 9 years experience riding and selling Hunting E-Bikes across 5 different brands - Bikes have changed a LOT the last few years and prices are plummeting on the high end bikes. I've seen the good and the bad of multiple brands. Call me if you want to talk bikes or stop and see some - we typically stock 7-10 different models.

I have several bikes in stock with full suspension and more on order supposed to arrive in the next week or so. Both All wheel drive and standard rear wheel drive.

I bought a QuietKat from a buddy that never used it. I love it and consider it a gamechanger. My farm sets up great for using a bike and I use it a lot. I have noticed deer don't spook as bad when I go by on the bike, they just stare and watch. Some trot off but they never blow. When I had to walk by those deer going in and out, they always blew. Also, the bike is very quiet over the ground compared to walking, and you leave less scent. The only downside to my bike is battery life. I bought 3 batteries and have to alternate them about every 15-20 minutes of use.

Strange battery usage, I only have one battery and charge it every 10 days or so - seems to last forever.
Never have ran one out dead yet and I've ridden 25+ miles in a day before.

My bike is 7-8 years old and I rarely peddle. Maybe that could have something to do with it.

That was always my biggest complaint from QuietKat, the battery life was awful. Even from brand new. Their customer service was not good either, as I complained several times about having 20 total miles on the bike and couldn't get more than a few miles and battery would be dead.
Having to buy several batteries for an e-bike shouldn't have to be the solution.
My Rambo and Yammee are both awesome for battery life without having to peddle
 
After hearing some reputable reviews I bought a Rad Rover 2 years ago when they went on sale. Cost around $1K at the time. It's rear drive but I live in eastern Illinois so hills arent much of an issue. I have beat the absolute crap out of it and it still rips to this day. I load it down way over capacity plus myself and it handles it. I have nothing but good things to say about them. HIGHLY encourage you get puncture proof tires regardless of what brand E-bike. Locusts love bike tires

E-Bikes are total game changers imo IF you have places to use them. Mostly just from a time saving standpoint checking cams and doing pop in "deer stuff"
