E-Bike for Night hunting

[Bradsbirds]

Wondering if anyone uses an electric bike for access while night hunting. Thinking of getting one to use on some of the places I have to walk a long way to get to, and drag out coyotes from, but also don't want to do a Biden in the dark. Just like to hear from anyone that does and if it's worth it.

I use mine on occasion and it really saves time. I don't worry about the headlight being on till I get to a couple hundred of my planned set then use my red 'night eyes' headlight.

Mine is a M2S Allterrain 750 with 26" wheels and is 5 yrs old this summer. Being only 5'7" I wish it was closer to the ground. Hard to get on/off on the wearing with insulated bibs. The 20" tire model is pulling at me--tehe.

We have been using these for about 5 years. They have worked very well for us with some modifications. We geared them down a little for more power and went to 36 volt lithium batteries. We ride them on field roads and timber roads, but not out in soft fields. We're very flat here, so I don't know how well they might work in hilly terrain. We have our thermals mounted on helmets and use them to ride in.

We usually stop about a mile to a half mile from our stand and ride the Razor's right up to where we're going to call. We are able to carry call, tripod, and chair on the Razors. I don't think I could carry more than one coyote out along with the other gear. They are called Ecosmart Razor Scooters (Amazon).
