ebike advice

[flatwater bill]

Anyone have any good experience with an ebike for hunting? A landowner I know will allow me to use an ebike to access a hunting area, but no other motorized vehicle. It is a brutal long uphill pull of several miles to get to road's end. Hunting is from there on foot. At my age, I am too tired to hunt by the time I arrive. Looking to buy an ebike, for dirt road use, under $3K.............all the best for the upcoming season.....FWB

I have a friend who uses one for waterfowl hunting on a military post where vehicle traffic is only allowed by "authorized personnel" and he loves it. I'll hit him up in a little bit and report back. For now here is a good article for some initial research...

EDIT - He has a Rambo Nomad. A bit over your $3K price range but he says it's worth it. BTW - he's a big guy at 6'3" and 240# and gets an easy 20+ miles out of it with all his gear going up and down small hills (not mountain climbing) on 2-track roads.

I got an cheap Lectric XP 2.0 primarily for around town and am impressed. I dont think it would be a great choice for serious/continuous off-roading, but would do fine on dirt roads/decent trails. I get about 20 miles of range on pavement. They run about $1k.

Thanks, @BeeMaa ......that helped. @COSA that Lectric XP 2.0 is one that my son suggested, and I really like it, but I think it fits into his Florida lifestyle better than my Rocky Mtn requirements....lot of value for a low price though... thanx....FWB
