Who knows electric bikes? looking at Quietkat options
Westside88:
I've started looking at options for electric bikes. My wife has one now and I still ride my regular mountain bike with her, but at 54 years old I'm seeing that having both may be nice. My Dad also still hunts with me and we sometimes use the bikes. I wouldn't mind letting him use the electric where appropriate. Anyway there are a lot of choices out there. I'm not looking to spend $10k like some cost. The Quietkat bikes interest me. The Ranger AWD and the Apex HD both look like solid choices. If anyone has any insight I'd love some feedback. The Ranger AWD is a one speed, but still says 28mph top speed. The Apex is a five speed, but not AWD. They both seem to be in the "reasonable" range for pricing. I'm 6'4" so that's a consideration as well. I see that the Ranger has a medium or large frame option. I appreciate any feedback on these or others

Bakcou mules are very durable. I've been using mine for 3 years strait. No issues at all.
I dont know anything about the quitecats.
Westside88:
Thanks I'll check those out too

Ranger AWD, two motors, one rather small battery. That would concern me, but I’ve only looked at them at Cabela’s.
Don't overlook the brakes, that's a weak spot in most ebikes.

That’s a good point. I was also thinking about whether the AWD would even be necessary for the intended use
