Anyone out there have some feedback on the use of a mtn bike or e bike for getting around coyote hunting?
 
I don't personally but our local gov't trapper uses an e-bike. He hauls it everywhere with him. He says a lot of times, he'll park his wagon and hop on the bike to ride up a canyon making sets along the way. He doesn't pack any critters out, they just lie where they fall, but he says he loves using the bike as it's quiet and can get him to and from a lot of stands that are further from the road that a person might not get to if he were walking.
 
I’m hunting some state ground that has roads thru it and thought it would kinda handy to have. On quiet days there’s no doubt they have to hear me park and unload. A mtn bike or e-bike either one could be handy.
 
Check out "Mountains 2 Sea". I have over 3000miles on mine with no issues and live in the hills of SW PA. It can't take all our hills but does a good job on most BUT i do always pedal.
I am to be 74yo next month.
 
Funny you ask... I just got a FREE Addmotor M360. Someone donated it and no one at work wanted it. Other than the tires being worn, looks new and has two batteries.

That thing is FAST and goes through sand and dirt pretty good. Only bad thing is it's front wheel drive so I'll probably rig about forty pounds to the front for traction.

Can't wait to paint it, might even strap a large cardboard cow cut out to see if I can slip on on hogs in the open lol. Should be lots of fun going through the cow pastures at night wearing NV.
 
I’ve been using an e‑bike to slip into spots where a truck would blow everything out, and it’s been way quieter and quicker for me. Rough trails are still rough, but the low buzz of the motor hasn’t spooked anything so far. I also grabbed bicycle insurance after a couple of sketchy hauls in the dark, mostly for theft and damage, and it’s been nice not stressing about the bike while I’m out calling.

I had a folding mountain bike and many folding AWD E scooters before getting a step through AWD 60 volt/60Ah E mountain bike earlier this year when they went on sale.
Folding as they have to fit in my varmint van, AWD because it needs to haul around some weight and step through because I'm not getting any younger and I'm able to get off and on the bike with ease.
Peddle assist or peddle only if you want to get some exercise.
It's heavy but it's been a great addition.
