    I have been wanting an e-bike for the past few years. Thought about doing a conversion to my mtn bike but chickened out and then sold the mtn bike.

    Well I have had my eye on this one for the past 2 years. Decided to click on a bookmark on my work computer last week for the bike. Lo and behold it was on sale. So out comes the ol CC and 3 hours later I got a text from Erik’s in St Cloud saying my bike was ready.

    Went and picked it up on Sunday. Had to take it for a quick spin in the parking lot at the shop. With throttle only I was able to get it up to 20 mph.

    This is going to help a lot on those 1.5 mile walks in NE or the 2 to 3 mile walks in SD.

    That thing is sweet. When I rode one it had way more torque then I expected. Pretty sweet ride you got there. Now what do you do with it when it’s in the tree ? How far from your tree do you leave it.

    I am not sure how far to hide it from the tree.
    The one stand I have in mind it would be easy. There is a little ditch that drops into a creek bed from an ag field. I can stash it in that ditch. That would put the bike about 100 yards from the stand.

    I was actually thinking about asking my dad to fab up a hitch to hook my deer cart to the rack over the back tire. If I can pull that off there would be no dragging required.

    They make trailers for them as well.
