Likewise for 12 yrs now. Lifting the heavy patients as a FF/Paramedic plus 8 yrs in the military has left me with 7 bulging discs. Already had surgery once. But this won’t stop me from going after the bruiser!

I feel your pain. I’ve had back surgery from many lift assists. I’m a FF/EMT. Lifting takes a huge toll on the back and knees. Thanks for your service as well
 
for those researching Ebikes remember most public lands those are illegal on. I have a MTN bike with a gun/bow holder on handlebars and a rack on the rear, really makes a difference when you are out. Animals seem to ignore the consistent noise put off from rolling tires VS the sound of footsteps and it can really benefit you.

Sounds just like the same setup I’m shooting for. I’m also looking to rig up a deer cart attachment for it

Here is the one I built. I started with a surly pugsley and added a bbshd kit from luna cycle. I had them "hot rod" it and upgraded to the 52 volt battery.

I would love to replace the hydraulic brakes and get some that have the sensors built in, and I've really been thinking of changing the front sprocket tho a 30 or 36 tooth sprocket for more torque. With the standard sprocket, I can really get 25mph on the flats and 10-15 up the holds around my house. I haven't had a chance to get it in the woods yet.

I still need to add the luggage racks etc, but it's coming along.

I like it Ernie! You’re like Doc from back to the future! Lol. What’s the bonus of having the fatter tires?

I hear they are better in Rocky and muddy terrain, and excel in snow. They run on low pressure so supposedly it's a smoother ride on uneven ground. I can't certify any of that however. I can say it seems sluggish on pavement. Now that the snow is melting, I hope to get in the woods this weekend.

What about the difference in regular tires VS fat tires? Is there that much of a difference?
 
I have a Cogburn with a bow holder and love it. It's quiter for a lot of places to go in this way and is way faster. I haven't done much to it just added their bow holder, a water bottle and a bar light and I wear my pack with it. It is a work out though vs an electric bike but I don't mind it. I have two places I hunt I wouldn't want to be without it.

If I remember correctly a 750 watt bike is considered a peddle bike.

I great E bike to check out is the Radrover it goes for 1,400 . It's alot cheaper than a Quite kat.
 
I have a junk mountain bike I typically have a three mile ride or so. I have tried pulling a trailer and didn’t like it. If either I or my dad shoot a deer we strap it to the bike and push it out. It pushes really easy ( was going to attach pic but it won’t let me )
