    E bike/ E Motorbike/ E Atv

    Anyone hunting with the new electric bike etc? Really like the UBCO but cant afford it and it wont quite be able to take the place of the 350 TRX 4x4 Quad i use. But in general, what kind of EV have you guys been using and what is your experience? Mainly juts for getting down quad tracks quietly etc, i assume most E Bikes dont have the payload to carry me, my pack and my deer, but can do 2 trips if needed. The E Side by sides look cool but too big and way too much money for me.

    I geuss the question is, what can i get that usefull if i flog my quad for say $3000

    Cheers
    If you can't kill it with bullets, dont f*ck with it.

    For $3000 you are better off walking.
    Mine is a E Mountain bike I think you would struggle carrying you gear and deer.
    I've been thinking of taking mine on forestry tracks but with just a rifle so if you shoot something you only have that to deal with.
    They are awesome things and alot of fun

    100km/hr needs the 150kg load limit to carry around a serious pair of stones....

    As far as I knew, that should be the KTM e-ride. The issue of using electric power drive is the battery technology. High energy vs safety, durability vs environment, size vs outputs. Hydrogen is an good option, just too dam dangerous. If a tin beer size of hydrogen battery explodes, it equals one or two 155mm artillery shells.
    So be it
