    Off-road e bike

    Just picked this up today. Had a little ride around at home and goes real well with full throttle mode. Going to give it a good test in CNI this weekend. Anyone else used one to hunt off

    All manufacturers quote distance on absolutely flat terrain. Start doing serious hills and you'll get 30-40km out of it

    Range will depend on the terrain the mode and the climb. I have Giant Rein 3, nothing like the hunting machine you have, I got 34 is on my battery the other day on a challenging ride the other day. On a more subdued ride it will do 60-70k
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    @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.

    Yeah I’ll see how it goes with distance over the weekend. 30 or 40km is still plenty to get me into camp and back

    What sort of dollars?
    I have been giving an Ebike some serious thought of late but more looking at fulky suspended MTB than cargo type bikes.
