Very nice! That's a BIG upgrade from what you had before if I remember correctly. Even has front shocks, I've been thinking about putting shocks on mine. Getting an ebike was one of the most rewarding and worthy purchases I've made for hunting. Worth every penny, especially after doing LANWR the first several years on a regular mountain bike, its do able, but it isn't as FUN as 20mph on the way to go hunt without even pedaling a single rotation!

Twice I did over 35 miles in one day at lanwr and still had about 25% battery left. I bought it in 2017 when I first got drawn for lanwr and used it each year since. The only reason I got rid of it and got this one is because of the tires.
What about the tires do you prefer? The larger mountain bike wheels?
My first bike was a 29" and I like riding it alot. The ebike is a 26" fat tire, it's better foe the job but I would hate to have to pedal it without the electric motor, its over 60lbs! My other one is a cheapy from Walmart that I got discounted and it worked great. Still no comparison to an ebike though.
I did alot for flat protection on both bikes and both worked, but a fat tire bike does pick up more thorns. Learned that lesson on the last ride, the only time I left without a pump. Recalled another bike on the way in, borrowed their pump, still ended up walking it back for 1.5miles. Only time I had a full blown flat in many many rides down there.

As far as the tires go I found a company that sells puncture proof inner tubes but they dont make them for 4" wide tires so I needed a bike with a regular tire size.
