    Apprec the advise. The area I hunt now are accessible via old logging trails. There’s fire breaks as well as snowmobile trails. ive checked the routes out n back and been clearing any major obstacles. The IGH sounds interesting, but this is my first year with her and we‘ll see how it goes...

    My first hunting ebike build

    So update time…. Added a rear rack. Mounted some mud shovel fenders to the rack. added front fenders. Put on a Luna 42 tooth eclipse offset chain ring to help out the chain line. Now this thing climbs like a cat in low gear.

    My first hunting ebike build

    To all you guys out there looking to build your own, I would say it’s fairly easy. Total cost from zero to full build, was $2020. If you already have a mountain bike, you’ll save yourself $630 as any mountain bike can be converted. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask them, I’ll help you...

    My first hunting ebike build

    Got the battery, charged, ran all the wires, and got it rolling. Gotta say it is one sweet set up. You’ll see in the pictures that my wires are grouped together up just under the handlebars, and I don’t really like the way it set up right now, so I will be changing that and covering them up...

    My first hunting ebike build

    got the battery mounted which was a piece of cake. The frame is already pre-drilled for a water bottle so I just used those mounting holes to mount the battery. By the way, the battery is a 52 V battery. With pedal assist, it should give me between 40 to 50 mile range, without pedal assist and...

    My first hunting ebike build

    Also added some foot pegs and kickstand. Who would’ve thought that a bike nowadays does not come with a kickstand? I guess I’m just too old to remember. But I sure as hell remember those little metal torture devices called shin splitters that they thought were pedals. Ummmmm. No On went...

    My first hunting ebike build

    Well, the grips and the handlebars that came with the bike were adequate, I wanted something a little bit wider to give me more control through the woods, as well as something grippy to hold onto with bigger gloves. So I went with a company called 50-50 on Amazon. I Purchased, the grips, a stem...

    My first hunting ebike build

    wanted to go with a mid drive motor. Hub drive motors are nice, but they don’t give me the option of shifting gears to a lower gear if I need to climb a hill. Or have that extra grunt to pull a deer on a trailer out of the woods. I just feel that a mid drive motor while not only being more...

    My first hunting ebike build

    As I live in northern Wisconsin, a lot of times that we’ll be out hunting there will be snow on the ground. So I wanted something that would have the ability to go through the snow, as well as the sand, the mud and the rocks, and any other sort of debris that might be out there. I decided to go...

    My first hunting ebike build

    I’m a 58 year old trucker. That being said, my knee needs a replacement within the next two years, and I’ve already done my ankle and my wrist surgeries. Was looking for something to get me back into the woods a lot easier than normally just driving back there and then walking in. Wanted to get...
