The Electric Bike Built for Hunting

No engine note and no exhaust means you can ride far closer before you are heard, then cut the last distance on foot. On a calm morning that is the difference between a shot and a spooked animal.

It is quiet enough to run near stock on farmland too, so access across a working property causes no grief.

There is no petrol, so nothing on the bike smells of it. In still bush air that matters as much as the noise. You also store no fuel at the hut or on the property.

A 200 kg payload including rider covers rifle, pack, dogs and a boned-out animal on the deck. Low weight kept down low makes it easy to hold on a sidling track, and there is a reverse button for the tight spot you nosed into.

It also starts every time after sitting between trips, which a carburettor bike will not always do.

Is an electric bike good for hunting?

Yes. The quiet approach and lack of fuel smell are real advantages for getting close, and the payload carries your gear in and the animal out. It also starts reliably after sitting for weeks between trips.

How far will it go on a hunt?

Up to 80 km on a charge depending on terrain and load, and it recharges off a standard socket at the hut or shed. Plan longer back-country trips around the range.

Is it quiet enough to get close to game?

Much quieter than a petrol bike. There is no engine note and no exhaust, so you can ride closer before finishing the stalk on foot.
