Electric bike

[hillrunner]

I had the original electric Polaris Ranger. It was good for getting places quietly. I sold it two years ago and miss it for that purpose. I've been considering an e bike but I don't trust it on rocky trails in the dark. Winke has some sort of 4 wheels electric cart he rides around in. It's probably stupid expensive.

You'll notice they are on smoothly mowed trails with those electric carts. They are on the 4 wheeler when the terrain gets even slightly challenging.

These lithium powered golf carts for hunting are pretty dang good now. Plenty of power and room and are quiet.

Keeping my eyes open on this thread..........

Anyone use one to drag a deer back to camp with or without a cart? Anyone use theirs around salt water. Originally wanted one more for surf fishing, but can be real handy at camp too. No rough trails really, either up the snowmobile trail or down the main dirt road to the other end of the logging lease.

Bought my wife a cheapie Vivi 2 or 3 years ago. Kinda would like a pedal one. Thinking they might change laws on ones w/o pedals. Basically electric motorcycles in the future law. NY loves laws.......

Got the 2wd Polaris electric ranger at work..... NEver used it off-road though. Borrrow the line crews machines when we need one.

Better than you think, they can be lifted and mud tires put on them too.

Was at a big farm this weekend and we drove them everywhere with no issues.

Omicron, was the terrain where you drove the carts hilly? I've been looking into a lithium powered cart, but I'm worried that it can't climb out of our creek bottoms. I'm also curious whether anyone has experience with lithium powered carts in cold weather. if it can't run in November or December, it's worthless to me.

Hilly. Lots of creeks. Went right through.

I’ve played many a round of golf on hilly courses that golf cart did great. And those weren’t supped up lithium’s.

What is that 3 or 4 wheel one Bill Winke uses
