A Hunter's Guide to Safe and Efficient eBike Harvest Transport

When out on the trial, the ultimate satisfaction of a successful harvest does not come easy. Perhaps one of the trickiest parts of the hunt is getting your harvest safely back to camp, and for that, you need the right tools. In this guide, we’ll be covering the best practices for loading and transporting your harvest on an eBike, and explain why the Birch Grolar—a bike built specifically with hunters in mind, is the ultimate game-hauling companion for every serious hunter.

1. Choosing the Right eBike for the Job

Not all eBikes are designed with carrying heavy loads in mind. For hunters, the right eBike must be rugged, powerful, and capable of navigating challenging terrain while carrying heavy loads. This means having powerful motors, sufficient torque, and enough capacity to shoulder the kill. The Birch Grolar fits that bill perfectly.

Why the Birch Grolar is Perfect for Game Hauling

• Dual 750W Motors with 160Nm of Torque: With dual motors delivering 160Nm of torque, the Birch Grolar provides you with more than enough power to tackle tough trails, even while carrying large loads. Whether you're hauling a deer or an elk, the Grolar's robust motor system ensures even steep inclines and muddy terrain won’t slow you down.
• 400 lbs Carrying Capacity: The Grolar's impressive 400 lbs weight capacity allows you to load up your game and gear without worrying about overloading. This eBike can carry heavy animals, hunting gear, and other essentials in one trip, making it the perfect companion for big game hunters.

2. Secure Your Game Properly

Once you have the right eBike, the next step is securing your game safely for the journey home. The Birch Grolar offers the stability and strength needed to support heavy loads, but it’s important to properly secure your game to ensure a smooth ride back.

Best Practices for Securing Your Harvest

• Use a Heavy-Duty Game Rack or Trailer: The Birch Grolar has designs specifically accommodating a game rack or cargo trailer, which provides a sturdy and stable platform for your harvest. By attaching a reliable rack or trailer, you ensure that your game stays secure throughout your ride.
• Balance the Load: Make sure you distribute the weight evenly, with your game at the center of the rack. A balanced load will reduce strain on the bike and give you better control, especially when navigating tough terrain.
• Tie Down Securely: Use durable, adjustable straps to tightly secure your game. The Grolar’s solid frame and carrying capacity provide a stable base, but the right straps are key to preventing movement during transport.

3. An eBike’s Versatility

Once your game is properly loaded, the next step is navigating back to your camp or vehicle. The Grolar is designed to make long trips back much easier, saving you energy by offering several ways for you to maintain control over the bike.

Utilizing your eBike for Transport

• Pedal Assist for Long Distances: Whether you're covering a few miles or a longer haul, the Grolar’s pedal assist mode makes it easier to conserve energy on long rides. With up to 85 miles of range on pedal assist, you can comfortably transport your game without exhausting yourself.
• Full Throttle for Steep Terrain: If you’re navigating difficult terrain or steep inclines, the Grolar’s full-throttle mode is a lifesaver. Just twist and go—no pedaling required—allowing you to power through the toughest trails without breaking a sweat.
• Torque for Tough Trails: The Birch Grolar is equipped with enough torque to conquer steep hills, rough trails, and other challenging terrains with up to 45% of incline.

4. Conquering the Terrain Ahead

Whether you’re on a rugged mountain trail, a swampy marsh, or dense forest, hunting often takes you through some of the toughest terrain nature has to offer. It is critical to plan ahead and ensure that your eBike is up for the challenge. 

Tips for Navigating Terrain with the Grolar

• Know Your Terrain: Before heading out, be aware of the terrain you’ll be covering. If you're on a trail that’s known for being rocky or muddy, you can adjust your tire pressure for better grip and stability. The Grolar’s 26" x 4" puncture-proof tires are designed to tackle a wide variety of surfaces, but being mindful of the terrain will help you avoid damage and keep things smooth.
• Take It Slow on Steep Hills: Even with 160Nm of torque, steep or uneven hills can be challenging. If your bike is loaded down with game, be mindful of your speed and take it slow when approaching inclines.
• Keep Your eBike Clean and Maintained: After hauling your game, be sure to clean off any dirt, mud, or debris that may have built up on your bike. Regular maintenance ensures your eBike stays in peak condition and ready for the next adventure.
• Don’t Forget the Essentials: Before you head out on your game-hauling adventure, make sure you’re properly prepared with equipment such as hunting accessories, a first-aid kit, and a hydration pack. With the Grolar providing ample space and a high carrying capacity for extra gear, you can bring additional supplies without ever feeling cramped.
