blade, does it do hills well? my club is in coosa county with a lot of short, but somewhat steep, hills and dales. do you wear a head lamp for going in the dark? i don't think i'd make a round trip of farther than 7-8 miles. club house has electricity for charges. i weight 206; loadout for a hunt would be maybe 12-15 pounds max. bike brand?

We are pretty hilly as well. Haven't found one I couldn't go up yet. I have a handle bar light mounted and a taillight. This battery will go about 25 miles without recharging. I'm about 185 but a couple of the guys that have this bike are pushing 300 with no issues. Long story, but this bike is a custom design. We had a half dozen built. Its a Rambo frame, 1000 watt 48 volt engine, internal 3 speed hub, Shimano and Batang brakes, shifters, throttle, controller etc. The sprockets are geared pretty low on purpose but still has a top end of 28 mph. It can go all electric or pedal assisted electric or just pedal power.

Hunting season is WET! Keep that in mind. Mud is slick on a bike! Haha, yes it is. You learn quick to keep your feet down in the thin slick stuff. The thick sticky stuff not a problem.

Regarding the mud, it helps if you are a little taller. Some of our "vertically challenged" individuals have a harder time reaching the ground. I’m vertically challenged as well, haha. I had a shock absorbing fork on to begin with but swapped it to lose a few inches of height, have a low rise seat and the shortest stem on the handle bars. This frame is a big frame. But with those mods, I easily flatfoot.

Is anybody still building the electric bikes? Were you able to establish a good average price they could sell for? An electric bike that could pull a bunch of old fat turkey hunters would sell well. Several companies are commercially selling them. I don’t know how successful they are. Rambo, Quiet Cat are two fairly popular brands. There was definitely money saved in having them built and ended up with a good design.

Motorized bikes aren’t allowed on AL WMAs from what I can tell.
