What bike is this? Do you recommend?

Ultra Eagle 2 XD. IMO the best on the market for our purposes, but definitely unnecessary in flat country. https://www.biktrix.com/products/juggernaut-xd-eagle?variant=42414787952831

Extra torque and wattage with the drive train to take it. I wish I had one.
It's by Biktrix. Nothing else on the market comes close as far as I know.

What are your thoughts on the Jaugernaut Ultra Duo 4 Mid Drive, 1000watts motor seems more in my price range too.

Still a beast of a motor that's tried true mature and proven. Theyll be more maintenance over the long term but it's still great for the price

Why does it require more maintenance? Not as high quality gearing or? Where are these made?

 

[CooterBrown]

Well worth it.

See post 173. I think the frame on that model is Chinese and the motor is definitely Chinese. For mine the frame is made in USA and the motor is hand built in canada

Ugh!

Ugh!

I felt that all the way down here.

I have an UBCO work bike. Like the design a lot. Reliability is not fully proven yet but will find out in the fall. Screenshot from the manufacturer of it below. Mine is just like that. Best features are 1) low center of gravity, 2) rugged frame and design; not a motorized mountain bike, 3) sure enough rugged rack both front and back.

I replaced the too-skinny stock rear tire with a wider one. Also added the bow mount as shown in these two pics.

I hope to never hunt with an ATV again.

I made a video showing why I love this thing. Hard to tell from the video but this hill is much steeper than it looks. A total slog on a normal bike. This is no peddling throttle about 3/4 of the way. You can go much faster with pedaling and power. I had to hold the phone hence the shake.

To be clear I never go this fast normally as I'm not wearing a helmet

Chris Bee was riding one of those (UBCO's) around at the Seven Springs TAC event last year. It looked pretty robust. Not sure about carrying it on a bike rack though if you have a capped pickup or SUV.
