Does anyone here use e-bikes for hunting trips? I’ve been researching for the best hunting ebike designed for hunters and have discovered a wide range of options. I’ve narrowed down my choices to two brands: Quietkat’s Ranger and Pioneer. However, the Pioneer lacks independent reviews.
I’m also considering other brands like the Radrover 6+ or will consider any bike you’ve personally used. Your responses would be greatly appreciated.

Ebikes are becoming more popular in the western US but also controversial. Most are considered vehicles so they are not allowed on a lot of trails. Quiet with good range of some models I definitely see the draw. They type of hunting you do will matter and what kind of weight, and at what range, the bike will take you. We're doing a lot of backcountry hunting so hunter plus 70# pack is not uncommon. Even a lot of motorcycles have to be resprung to allow for the increase in weight. At a minimum you'll need a pack and or pack from to get a weapon and meat in and out.
