As electric bikes grow in popularity and improve in technology, they are emerging as an excellent tool for different industries and activities. 

So much so that the capabilities of the high-quality fat tire electric off-road bikes make them the perfect hunting tool.

These e-bikes are not some beefed-up version of the commuter bikes you see in the city but a powerful rugged beast designed for off-road use making them the ideal weapon to help you improve your hunting experience. 

Here's our breakdown of the 6 reasons an electric bike will level up your hunting:

 

Electric bikes get you farther, faster

Whether you are as fit as a fiddle and love to power up gullies or perhaps not as mobile as you once were, a fat tire e-bike can improve your hunting experience and give you a better chance to be successful. Go farther than ever before and save your energy for the hunt.

For example, I hunt on some private property in the Keiwa Valley, and part of it is a very good spot for a sit and wait on an evening. It's difficult to access quietly from the sides due to an abundance of leaf litter and thickets. The gully itself extends a long way down well into the paddocks. In the past, I have had to wait until the thermal switch before high tailing it across the paddocks to try and get into position while I'm losing light. This means I get to my spot often too late and sweat. Now with the e-bike, I can massively reduce the time it takes me to get in and I arrive there fresh and ready to hunt. 

 

Our electric off-road bikes provide unmatched super stealth 

One feature of the FREY electric off-road bikes that make them an excellent choice for hunting is how quiet these bikes are. Compared to other options for rough terrain such as Utes, ATVs, and dirt bikes, e-bikes are super quiet, making it easy to get close to your prey, giving you the maximum chance to get within range. We have also noticed that even when the game detects you they don't seem as easily spooked as normal. We believe this is due to the fact we are presenting a different profile and noise than they have become accustomed to.

 

An electric bike can help reduce your scent trail to game

We know that all game especially deer are very sensitive to scent and once they have winded you your chances of harvesting one disappear. This is where a fat tire e-bike can offer a huge advantage. Using an e-bike stops you from arriving in a sweaty state and means that you haven't set a boot on the ground, meaning your scent trail is a fraction of what it normally would be. Perfect if you're going to be hunting an area for multiple days.

 

Our Hunter off-road electric bike provides a carrying capacity to make hunting and long journeys easier 

Our Hunter off-road e-bike has a carrying capacity of 150kg and is ideal for carrying all the gear you need for your hunt. The bikes can easily be accessorized with your favorite backpack, pannier bags, gun and bow racks, and even trailers. If you are successful on your hunt, your e-bike can make the carry-out easier than ever.

Our walk-assist mode can also be of great value for this task. To engage the walk assist while standing and holding onto the bike, simply press and hold the minus button on the controls and the bike will power itself along at a walking pace.

 

Off-road electric bikes that are made for any terrain

With its fat tyres and powerful motor our bikes are designed for off-road use, made for tackling all terrain be that bush, beach, or snow. They have three different modes that equip them for every situation. The first is the pedal assist which offers five different levels of assistance. Level 1 will generate about the same power from the motor as the rider puts in right up to level 5 where the motor will be multiplying the effort and power the rider puts in by a factor of about 4. It's like having the power of 4 other riders! 

The second mode available on our bikes is the thumb throttle which offers even more power and can be a great help to get over steep hills. Lastly is the walk assist mode which can be used to help navigate extremely steep hills or other obstacles as well as help carry your game and gear. 

 

Ebikes just add more fun to your trips

In addition to all the points above another factor to consider is just how much fun and enjoyment an electric bike can bring to your hunting adventures. Enjoy zipping across a paddock to check trail cameras or just going out for a scout between hunts with the ease of an off-road e-bike.

 

Fat tire e-bikes can give hunters a massive advantage in the pursuit of game, they can help you cover more ground and open more hunting opportunities than ever before, getting you to your hunting spots quicker and farther than otherwise possible. After the shot they can help get your meat back to base quickly, reducing many challenges of hunting to let you enjoy the adventure. 

 

Again, We sincerely hope you can Free Ride & Enjoy Yourself!
