Dont wake up like Willie Nelson, tied to the bed getting your azz beat with a broom handle.She'll be asleep so I got till morning to prepare.....at least I won't rack my nutts during the crash

Do you attach it to your bike? If so how?For anybody thinking of biking to their hunting spots. Get a bottle of Flat-Out for $20 and fill up your tires with it. Works great. I ride straight through pricker bushes and all kinds of crap. never had a flat.
For carts, the hawk crawler works great. (i hate hawk but this thing actually is a good design).
Its nice too that you can wear your scouting kilt with that set up and still be modest for the bird watchers
What are you going with?End of this month I'm finally placing an order for an ebike. Took me a while to save but man I'm excited. Should go from a 45-minute ride to 15.
Biktrix Eagle 2 Xd. Probably in fir green https://www.biktrix.com/products/juggernaut-ultra-eagle-2?variant=42097840488639What are you going with?
The XD is the biggest reason I'm going with it. I probably haven't stop researching and understanding Ebikes 3 years running. The Bafang 1000 is more than ample for my needs power wise. Buts woefully inadequate durability wise.THat XD dual drive motor is interesting. Im assuming thats the motor you're getting on it? I think biktrix has the best bang for your buck out of most of the online prebuilt bikes. THey use name brand parts for a lot of it. I think the bafang 1000w motor would be plenty even towing a deer up PA hills but some people dont like the new ULTRA biktrix uses compared to their older BBSHD. Interested to see how that XD motor holds up. Looks beefy for sure. One thing to consider a part of the total investment is a bike rack that can hold an ebike (juggernaut xd weighs over 65lbs without a battery). THe dirtbike racks work good and affordable but they take a while to strap up. If you are putting in the back of a pick up just remember its not a regular bike and its a bear picking them up and moving around. and you definitely dont want that 6k bike bouncing around in the bed.
FWIW i have put 200+ offroad miles on my BBSHD at all power levels in the mountains and hills so far and the drive train is completely intact. I did a tune up at 100 and 200 with just some minor adjustments. It's cheap parts that are easy to swap if something does go wrong. Plus I can break down and work on the entire motor myself if need be and parts are cheap and readily availableThe XD is the biggest reason I'm going with it.

Trek, Giant, Yeti etc are companies that have been around a long long time that actually design and innovate many of their own parts and collaborate with many of the Ebike motor manufacturers.
There is a reason their Ebikes top out at about 80 Newtons of torque. Any more and the drivetrain has ridiculous wear and tear. You see it nonstop if you join the many Facebook groups for these companies like quietkat, bakcou, M2s etc. The cassettes get bent and teeth get torn off. Derailers are constantly bent. Theres extreme chain stretch and often breaking. A traditional bike drivetrain cannot properly handle the torque of the Bafang. Anyone who has one who says they never experienced that usually keeps the bike at power assist level 1 or 2 and in eco mode. Put it at level 5 full power mode and watch what happens.
If Im buying a powerful Ebike, I want the full power and capability unlocked. It'd be like buying a canam 1000 quad and only going 15 mph all the time.
The XD has the two chains. All the power from the motor goes through the heavy duty rear sprocket and Go-kart chain. This theoretically should solve the wear and tear. My only concern is how close the rear sprocket is to the rear rotor. I have to imagine some lube is gunna flicker off the chain onto the rotor and contaminate the brakes.
The bike is more like dirt bike bicycle hybrid. You pedal normally and when you want power you turn the throttle like a dirt bikes. Pedal assist is a feature coming in the future.
That also brings me to a standard Bafang is not supposed to be the sole power moving you along. It is strongly recommended to not use just the throttle as you can burn the motor up.
I spoke to Biktrix about this, as on my way in is all uphill for 3 miles and I don't want to sweat up. They said I can use the throttle non stop all day forever and itll never break a sweat.

The motor is not the drivetrain. Look at the cassette sometime. It's paper thin metalI thought the Bafang Ultra 1000w was nearly bulletproof. It is a little noisy compared to some other ones.

I believe you. There's certainly exceptions. But you also said you did a tune up at JUST 100 miles. That may not be a big deal to people. Im very mechanically inclined and my own bike mechanic. I want close to zero maintenance and rather ride the thingFWIW i have put 200+ offroad miles on my BBSHD at all power levels in the mountains and hills so far and the drive train is completely intact.

I mean it was a 5 minute lube and a quarter turn of a screw but point taken for sureI believe you. There's certainly exceptions. But you also said you did a tune up at JUST 100 miles.
