On the Biktrix site you can upgrade to the better drive train and rear hub. Do you think it’s worth it?

Check out Faceoff bikes too (used to be Stealth Hunting Bikes i think). I like his bike design. his is more geared to hunting. beefed up in the right areas and reasonable price for an already built bike.

My advice (and probably others like @BackSpasm and @25ftup ) is always build your own though. There's some good info on building an ebike here on some other threads. You can message me if you want some more info. Biktrix seems like a decent deal compared to the rest of the market though.
 
I dont know if an 11spd is worth more. i'd rather spend that on a better/heavy duty 9spd for a mid drive. You dont "need" 11 speeds, especially with how much power the motor is going to give you. You need 4 or 5 really and probably will use 2 or 3 most of the time. I have a 10 but it only gets used through gears 3-8 unless im feeling sassy and try to ride up a vertical wall. ive contemplated going to a single speed 24t titanium cog on the back just to keep things simple but having a 42t gear in the back with my 30t chainring will get me up any hill i want without pedaling. its either going up or flipping over backwards lol.

Wren hub seems worth it to me. Thats one less failure point for all the extra power.

Can you upgrade just the hub?
