Top Electric Hunting Bikes for 2024

By Sam Hartman

Forget clunky ATVs and rumbly engines. Imagine gliding through the dawn mist, silent and stealthy, on an electric hunting bike. No spooked critters, no sweat-drenched climbs, just you, the hunt, and the whisper of your electric motor. Sounds pretty awesome, right?

Go Ride Bikes gets it. We’ve been slinging bikes and chasing thrills since back in the day, and we know electric hunting bikes are about to change the game. Ditch the gas guzzler, grab your bow, and let’s dive into the best electric rigs of 2024.

Why Go Electric?

Think stealth, think range, think about leaving nature undisturbed. Electric bikes let you reach hidden honey holes that gas-powered rigs can’t touch, all while keeping the noise down to a squirrel’s sneeze. Plus, say goodbye to aching limbs and hello to covering more ground with pedal assist. Your quarry won’t stand a chance.

What to Consider

Before you go full throttle on the first electric bike you see, there’s some intel you need. Think about your hunting grounds – are we talking mountain peaks or swampy lowlands? Match your motor power to the steep hills you’ll conquer, and don’t skimp on battery capacity . Running out of juice with a buck trophy in tow is no bueno. So don’t forget to utilize our ebike range calculator to fine-tune your decision and ensure you have the right balance of power and endurance for your hunting adventure.

Additionally, frame strength is your buddy, and so is payload capacity. Think racks, bags, enough space for your cooler and that prize catch. Remember, the right hunting ebike is an extension of you, a silent predator customized for your hunting grounds.

FAQs

1. Are electric hunting bikes legal for hunting in my area?

The legality of electric hunting bikes varies depending on your location. Here’s a breakdown:
Federal Regulations: No federal laws specifically prohibit electric bikes for hunting. However, they are classified as motorized vehicles on some federal lands, including:

National Parks: Throttle-controlled e-bikes are not allowed on trails, but pedal-assist models are typically permitted.

Wilderness Areas: No motorized vehicles, including e-bikes, are allowed.

Bureau of Land Management (BLM): Some BLM-managed lands allow e-bikes on designated trails or motorized vehicle areas.

State and Local Regulations: Each state and locality has its own regulations regarding e-bikes for hunting. These regulations can vary based on:

Motor wattage: Some states have wattage limits for e-bikes allowed for hunting.

Throttle vs. pedal-assist: Some states only allow pedal-assist e-bikes for hunting.

Land type: Regulations may differ between public and private land.

It’s crucial to check your local regulations before heading out with your electric hunting bike. You can find specific information for your area through; your state’s wildlife agency website, IHEA website, or by contracting your local park ranger/land management office.

2. What factors should I consider when choosing an electric hunting bike?

Choosing the right electric hunting bike depends on your needs and preferences. Here are some key factors to consider:

Motor power: Consider the terrain you’ll be riding and the weight you’ll be carrying. For hilly areas or heavy loads, a more powerful motor (750W+) might be necessary.

Battery range: Choose a battery with enough range to cover your typical hunting distance. Look for bikes with at least 30-40 miles of range, and consider larger batteries if you hunt in remote areas.

Tires: Wide, knobby tires provide better traction on rough terrain and in muddy conditions.

Suspension: Suspension helps absorb bumps and shocks, making for a smoother and more comfortable ride.

Load capacity: Choose a bike with racks or panniers to carry your hunting gear and equipment.

Legality: Ensure the bike complies with your local regulations for motor wattage and throttle control.

3. Can electric hunting bikes carry hunting gear and equipment?

Absolutely! Most hunting electric bikes are designed to handle the weight of hunting gear and equipment. Look for bikes with:

Sturdy racks and panniers: These allow you to securely attach your rifle, bow, backpack, coolers, and other essentials.

High weight capacity: Many hunting bikes can support over 300 pounds, including the rider and gear.

4. How long does the battery last on an electric hunting bike?

Battery life on an electric hunting bike depends on several factors, including:

Motor power: Higher-powered motors drain the battery faster.

Terrain: Riding uphill or on challenging terrain consumes more battery power.

Weight: Carrying heavier loads reduces battery life.

Pedal assist vs. throttle: Using the throttle exclusively drains the battery much faster than pedal-assist mode.

With moderate use and a mix of pedal-assist and throttle, most electric hunting bikes offer a range of 30-50 miles. Some higher-end models with larger batteries can reach up to 80 miles on a single charge.

Remember, it’s always best to bring a spare battery or plan your route to allow for charging if needed.
