I rigged up my Mongoose Dolomite with front and rear racks, saddle bags and lights. I have taken elk and loaded up the racks with both hind quarters and rode out, then went back and brought out the front quarters, back straps, next meat and horns while riding it out… the guys in camp laughed at me at first… but I am 63 and it sure made things easy on the Wyoming non motorized forest roads
@@SamkoTradBow you have a sweet rig yourself… but I will admit.., I am thinking about Installing an e-bike conversion kit on my mongoose dolomite… I have thrown a 55 gal. trash bag over my seat and frame, the draped a whole deer over the bar and seat, tied the legs together and rode out using the deers back as a seat… I caught some sarcastic crap over that one… lol
Jason, I'm a 8 year e-bike owner, I just set up my e-bike with trailer so I can carry all my fishing rods as well as Crayfish Traps. I've got 2 spots to go, both far to far to walk, perfect distance for my e-bike. Same here in BC, Canada, can't use my e-bike for anything to do with hunting. There is an e-bike conversion vid on my channel, and the trailer vid is being edited now in case you are interested. Getting excited, to get out on the e-bike to stump shoot. Mike
I chose the E-CELLS Super Monarch Crown. It has 2 wheel drive, 2 batteries, dual suspension, fenders, hydraulic brakes with beefy 2.2 mm thick discs . It is an E-MTB for hunting here in Nevada. Very reliable components sourced form several countries and the Pahrump-based company headquarters only 50 miles from my home in Henderson, NV. So yeah, another boutique e-mtb company but one with great quality for the money. My bike was $4,800. before taxes which is great compared to ALL other 2 wheel drive e-mtbs because they don't have the many features my bike has and some cost a LOT more. My bike is rated to carry 400 pounds max.
Love this set up. Gave me some good ideas for my set up. Can't wait to be riding in the dark crisp October morning to the excitement of going deer hunting.
I been using bikes in the outdoors since I was a kid.I am now officially old an am switching to an ebike.I still like having ATV gun and Bow mounts on my handlebars though.Sometimes I grab the weapon and dump the bike quick😃
I have gotten into hog hunting,cats and bears with dogs.Being that I am a long haul trucker I only have room for one dog.I play the part of the other dog.I now have a Catahoula Leppard Dog that is doing really well on Hogs,coons and cat.I am planning on hitting AZ this year and they don’t allow electric bikes where I want to go.I have all time I want and maybe food might be the limiting factor.I can always walk up hills and camp wear I get tired.Wish I had the means to these adventures when I was younger,but where there is a Will there is a way.Always love your podcasts and videos!❤️
@@SamkoTradBow let me know what you think. I’m trying to decide on getting one. Going to get a conversion kit to make my bike electric and use that trailer
I have been thinking about it. It would be nice to get the weight lower. But I don't think I want to deal with dividing the meat up on each side and cleaning out the saddle bags. This will be more pig hunter than deer hunting for me. And a pig will yield less meat that a deer most of the time unless I get real lucky! So the crate is fast, easy, and should work great. The crate also keeps my bow up high away from stones coming off the wheels.
I think that a setup like that would be awesome for myself and for getting deer or pigs out I would just ride back to the truck drop the bike off and off and grab my deer cart. If you can get a bike far back in a deer cart. Your still doing some walking but the hard part for me is finding the deer in the first place
@@SamkoTradBow Did the setup not end up working out to your liking for hunting or just switching things up just for fun? I ask because I have some things on order because I liked some of your ideas. I just saw this comment and wondered if the plan didn't work out. haha.
@@GleCow I sold it to help pay for my new John boat that I plan to hunt from quite a bit now that I will be down there full time soon. The bike was great and work amazing! I wanted the boat more..lol
@@SamkoTradBowall you need is that same bike and put a mid drive bbshd and get rid of the gearing and derailer. Go single speed. No more pedaling unless hills are insane.
I'm not sure how anyone could not need fenders. Dirt, mud, debris, gravel etcetera. I could not do that to my compound bow. basket or no basket, I'm a clean freak 😂
Do you hunt flat land? I have an e bike even with the electric power I have to pedal and sweat up pretty quick pa archery season. Anyone have a bike that can climb hills
Yep I'm on flat ground where I'm gonna use the bike. I have heard from others that e bikes don't climb well and pedaling is required. I bet e bikes will keep improving as time goes on and solve that.
Great video. I know nothing about bikes and have been looking for a affordable fat tire bike. Is there much to assembling one? I'm trying to tell my wife that $500 is a good deal. She's thinking more like $250. Lol! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
@@dougroll8139 right now bikes are like cars. A stupid shortage for some dumb ass reason or another. Many bike shops even went out of business because they have no bicycles to sell. So stupid. But with this one on Walmart online they have been out of stock then back in stock then out etc every couple weeks. So keep watching. John tucker just bought the same one a few weeks ago and it was out of stock when he wanted it and I told him same thing. 10 days later was back in stock and he got one. He said 4 days later they were out of stock again
The bike is nice but instead of the set up you are using I would use a trailor like an altered kids trailor that has been stripped of the cloth and reenforced for hauling game and hunting equipment so as not to lose it to predators and add a mid drive high torque high power ( heavey duty hauling ) electric motor. Your back rack should hold the battery for it. And if done right you can use all of your gears to power the bike without losing any of them.
Very well could do that as well. Personally since I process my own deer anyway, id rather bone it out in the field and stick the game bag on the back rack in the basket so I can ride it out.
Yeah that high of center of gravity on a bike is hard. The trailer will work great. I do believe this crate eight above the back tire should be low enough to work great and avoid the trailer. I don't want to pack, set, up or drag the trailer if I can help it
@@amateurbiggamehunter7691 collapsible means I need to assemble and disassemble each time. Easy to pack still means I have to pack and its gonna take up space making me climb into the back of my truck or put in and out of my suv each time. And I have to maintain the trailer, wheel bearings etc. I have to drag it everywhere fighting it the whole time. But I may still end up wanting and needing one. But if I can make something work rather than a trailer I'm definitely doing that first. Nothing about having to use a trailer excites me personally. I'm very glad there are such amazing trailers out there now and they do work great! But I hope I can avoid going that route.
The LCD screen and battery have charging ports to charge your ph anything Gps Dude I just had a stroke when I can walk enough I'm absolutely 😳 getting me one
I made a mistake and bought a fat tire bike, had 7 gears.........try riding it in snow and soggy wet ground it was toooooo hard to pedal you will dump it for a electric fat tire bike.
I have 16 gears on this one and no intentions of using it in the snow. No offense to e bikes but im not paying 3-5grand for a bicycle ever. I'd rather pedal and only pay 500.
If you can fit a whole deer 🦌 in a milk crate your no where near northern Ny STATE and got little deer I gotta say it would have to be bamby here Oswego county ny obviously you get to hunt hogs lucky dawg
I completely bone my deer out in the field. same with hogs. so no bones or anything. just edible meat. there is not a deer in the country I can not fit in that milk crate boned out.
Hey bro do your research e bikes up to 750 watt only 20mph are considered regular bikes class 1 and class2 only class 3 and up considered motorized my sister and brother in-law he hunts just bought the Rad power bikes and WOW I RODE THEM THEIR FCKING AWSOME UNDER 2000 FUNNY HOW THE HUNTING ONES COST 5000 AND CAN ONLY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE HUH happy hunting the little kids tow trailers work great get um used cheap like 50 $: dude awsome stip cloth off it folds out like deer cart
some of the places i am going into are pedal, foot or horse only. now electric or gas power. so need this pedal only version. plus the exercise is a great thing.
That's funny. I love when people tell me what my stuff will or won't do. Yet I drive it around with 80 pound sand bags on dirt powerlines for exercise. But appreciate the comment.
Love the Bike idea. Your rubber hose covered clamps are great. With that basket on the back it is going to be harder to mount. I like the 20" fat bikes with stepthru. These in an electric would help assist for hills or coming out with the load of meet. www.ampridesusa.com or www.radpowerbikes.com/ Amp Rides has some bigger battery options with folding but they are a long wait for delivery -- The Rad Runner would make a good hunting bike as well but get an extra battery.

So excited for October!!!! Will be here before you know it!
Awesome set up, I got wrap around mud guards is nice for wet conditions
The fenders would be a fantastic addition
I've been looking for ideas for a hunting bike recently, good timing! I enjoyed the video and got some new ideas out of it. Thanks!👍👍
Awesome! Glad I could help!
I have so been waiting for this!! thank you!!
Very welcome. Hope you get some good ideas
What brand clamps are on the bars? I like the forward angle
Can't remember but that should be linked in the video description
Nice rig! Some great ideas for upgrades as well. Enjoyed the video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

If you had to use a trailer what about the Hawk crawler? It looks awesome for a trailer with those axles that pivot over logs.
Don't have any experience with that trailer. But will check it out
@@SamkoTradBow let me know what you think. I’m trying to decide on getting one. Going to get a conversion kit to make my bike electric and use that trailer
Awesome. Hope to see this thing in action in future videos
Hope to use it quite a bit this winter down south!
Thanks buddy, you always make the best videos, great content.
@@tools4spoons thank you
Do you happen to remember the brand/model of the upgraded seat?(the link appears to be dead)
I do not . But I know it was a gel oversized seat and made my schwinn
Nice setup, have you considered a saddle bag approach for deer and hang it off the sides of the milk crate to avoid a trailer?
I have been thinking about it. It would be nice to get the weight lower. But I don't think I want to deal with dividing the meat up on each side and cleaning out the saddle bags.

If you can get a bike far back in a deer cart. Your still doing some walking but the hard part for me is finding the deer in the first place
Thats the battle we all face! Trying to find the deer is step number 1. Figuring the rest out is icing on the cake.
What about using a roll up sliding stretcher?
Would be exhausting to pull behind the bike. So much h easier to bone the animal out and just take the meat and head in the milk crate.
I have done this. Gut and put front shoulder over handle bars , hips over the seat then role him out on one trip.
Could definitely do that. I think I'd just bone the deer out and through the game bag of meat and the head on thw back rack and ride it out.
Some or all wma require bring out a hold deer.
@@dillardwinters4882 yep in that situation your idea would work fantastic. A small trailer on the bike would work great too
What brand/model bike is that?
mongoose dolomite als
What size frame you go with for the life of me I'm not finding a high chart. I'm 5,9.
i went with the small frame that was 15 inch i believe. im 5'6" sold the bike so cant go look to verify.
You can use a 750 watt electric bike on Georgia wma’s. Did my research before I bought mine,enjoy your videos!!
Awesome. I just sold this bike set up to put the money towards my John boat. Think that's gonna work better for me that pedaling...lol

Nice bike but the amount of weight ur talking about would b very top heavy,I'm thinking a trailer would be better to lower center of gravity
Yep it would. But you also then have more weight and more rolling resistance. Everything is a trade off. Both are great options
What's the best hunting bike you think I can buy?
No idea. Never had an ebike
Great video. I know nothing about bikes and have been looking for a affordable fat tire bike. Is there much to assembling one? I'm trying to tell my wife that $500 is a good deal. She's thinking more like $250. Lol! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Very easy assembly. Put on handle bars, and wheels and pedals.
@@SamkoTradBow I see Walmart is sold out and a on line search hasn't turned up anything in stock. Any other places I might look? Thanks

In Ga a electric bike up to 750W can be use the same as a pedal bike. Page 38 of the book. FYI

When you get a deer if you gut it out do it in a way that the whole carcass goes over the seat and handle bars.Just walk it out.
Very well could do that as well. Personally since I process my own deer anyway, id rather bone it out in the field and stick the game bag on the back rack in the basket so I can ride it out.
I take my quiver off and put my bow in a pvc pipe with caps on it.
That's a great idea as well!
Affordable good ebike?
No idea. Never had an ebike
Save some inches and put your bow on the other side giving more clearance
Are you allowed to ride an electric bike on public land to hunt?
Not in many of the places I'm gonna hunt. That why I went pedal power only
Radrover $1600 and you won’t regret it!!
Can't use an e bike in places I want to go
Finally got my public land pig. Had to haul out in my pack while riding my bike. Not ideal. Going to buy one of those Burley Trailers
Yeah that high of center of gravity on a bike is hard. The trailer will work great. I do believe this crate eight above the back tire should be low enough to work great and avoid the trailer. I don't want to pack, set, up or drag the trailer if I can help it
