where I got it, I was all down hill on the way out. It’s steep going in, took me 2 batteries to go the 6 miles in, first battery died at 4 miles. On the way out w the deer, steep down hill, there are problems. First, the trailer wants to pass you if you brake to hard, second, I toasted my brakes on the way down, they got way too hot. Had to replace my entire brake system.  I guess I should have stopped periodically to let them cool down, wish the cart had its own brake system.

I did a ton of research on ebikes, on bikes in my price range, which was 3,000 and under.  If I had to do it over, I’d consider a Rad bike or Bolton. The Bolton, really impressed me, that guy knows his chit, and he test rides each bike before sent out. He also charges more for shipping, BUT you get a bike fully assembled and ready to go! I was pissed when my Rambo arrived, broken box, bag of bolts torn open, missing nuts. And I had to assemble, also, the bike was not adjusted correctly from the factory, blew my rear hub out after only 30 miles. Rambo is local, great variety and cheaper. I’d look at those two brands.

There’s a big advantage to local companies with good customer service.

My road bike, Juiced HyperScorpion, when this bike works it’s a hoot.  But it rarely works, ride it for an hour, fix it for an hour.

It arrived in a beat-up cardboard box and had to be assembled.  Parts were bent, scratched, missing.  The battery wiring burnt on the first ride.  The brakes are dual piston, hydraulic.   Sounds impressive but only one piston actually worked and that bent the rotors.  They squealed a lot and didn't do much to stop the bike.  The chain pops off every time the bike hits a bump.

Juiced customer service should be locked up; they are downright criminal.  They simply ignore every request I’ve made or they refer me to a 3rd party YouTube video on how to fix their junk.  Obviously just trying to run out the clock on the warranty.

I could go on, but you get the point.  Avoid Juiced Bikes.

Bakcou has great reviews, just kinda spendy. If I had the money, I’d go that route.

Curious how old your batteries are? I have rode all day with a pack zero recharge and hauled  deer and elk for many miles and made it back on one , I know hauling my 2 boys in there cart during late buck I noticed battery took a little hit due too the hills   Just curios is all my battery is about 3 years old now  in my Rambo and quiet kat is 2

I have a pair of Polaris/ PIM bikes
Not going through th hassle of posting pictures
They are bad as.
28-30 mph if you put in some effort
Yes pedal assist power
20-30 mile range
Haven’t use for hunting yet, but will if needed
My KLR does just fine
Girlfriend didn’t quite understand the effectiveness of front disc brakes
Ate pavement hard, surprised it wasn’t a trip to the ER
Not toys for sure
Love them for the trips down the beach
All down hill there, Steep uphill home
One shot. One kill!

Oh man, can't wait to post a pic of mine.  Bumping this so that it shows up on my participated threads on my phone.

I've got an M2S All Terrain Ultra HT.  Highly recommend M2S.  Same specs and motors as the Backou/Quietcats, but for thousands less.  Compare, contrast, and thank me later.  Pics upcoming....
