that looks like a serious weapon... please post up how you got on.

@Micky Duck I got a Suzuki RM80 for my 10th birthday which at the time was only 7 years old. It was only a few months later that we were at the neighbours place and saw a step thru 90 that they had. Dad proceeded to tell me that he nearly brought one for me instead of the RM. Never have I been so thankful in my life.

mate they looked like a girly bike but they sure went alot of places..being so light they could be lifted over trouble. sure made it easy to have the dog along for ride.
Philip Holden had one on rabbit board...photo of it somewhere.... these electric bikes have come a long way in a hurry...give it ten years and who knows what great machines will be about the show.....I can think of a certain valley full of temptation where that there machine would be awesomeness indeed.

I did possums as a kid with a Yamaha 50 step through 3 speed, did the job.

MSL that about sums it up....once upon a time we didnt give a shit what it looked like ....it was faster than peddling and powered up hills.

I also had an 80cc Yamaha enduro bike, but the scooter was far superior due to the carriers and centrifugal clutch. I can still remember riding along with a sack full of possums on my back, when one of them woke up and started to claw it’s way out, not enough hammer.

I’ve definately got fresh legs for the weekend

Looks similar to the Kaboota Cruiser, but a bit more powerfull.

I reckon a hunting ebike doesn't need speed or even much range, it needs torque, strength and light enough to carry over knarley terrain if required.
I just want something to take the edge off a long walk or use to range out from a base camp.
I dunno what fits that bill but the OP looks pretty good.
Wots the weight on that wee beastie?

Here's my old E bike. Whenever wanting to access new places, use ENOUGH bike

Possuming when the skins were worth $25 each! 1979

My first bike was the XR80 at I think 12 yrs of age.
Supposedly for farm work but man I used to hoon on that wee machine

Ubco are seriously overpriced POS.

@Sika Seeker, how did the trip finish ? Battery last ok ?

When you were going up, were you pedaling or using battery only ?
