Best Features of a Hunting Bike

The discourse around hunting e-bikes is strong and well-opinionated. Some believe that off-road electric bikes are unnecessary, taking up the space where power-hungry vehicles like ATVs and dirt bikes thrive. However, the hunting e-bike is the ideal combination of strength, stealth, and versatility, capable of carrying you across diverse terrains at top speeds. 

If you’re in the market for an e-bike for hunting, you’re probably weighing your options. But what sort of hunting bike features should you be looking for? In this article, we’ll educate you on essential hunting bike features you’ll need for your off-road vehicle. 

Essential Hunting Bike Features

High Power and Torque 

Think of power and torque as the muscle of your electric hunting bike. Sure, pedaling is like essential fuel, but torque provides a necessary boost that gets you out of tough situations. More torque equals more force to supplement your pedaling performance, allowing you to climb steep summits without losing your momentum. Torque also helps your hunting electric bike haul heavy loads while maintaining speed and control. 

You’ll need an electric bike for hunting with at least a 750W motor and 160Nm of torque to ensure you can navigate sheer hills and rough terrain while carrying your gear. While you can’t expect your motor to carry you through the wilderness without some pedaling effort, enhanced torque is crucial for a large-capacity, hunting e-bike. 

Dual-Motor Systems 

Our off-road electric bike’s secret to adapting to all types of terrain is its ability to cycle through driving modes. The Grolar’s ability to switch from front, rear, and dual motor drives supplies its rider with the utmost versatility and control. 

Front-motor drive is a great default mode, offering good control and stability. Rear-motor drive provides more traction, making it a better choice for off-roading or difficult trails. Dual-motor mode offers the most power and balance, tackling the toughest terrain by distributing force to both wheels. Depending on the scenario, the ability to toggle between these different modes enhances your riding experience.

Fat Tires 

Fat tires are the unsung heroes of stability and traction. They spread out the bike’s weight over a larger surface area, which means better grip and balance on uneven ground. Ideal for handling loose gravel, rocky trails, slippery dirt, and more, fat tires give riders a fighting chance on all types of terrain. 

You’ll need an electric off-road bike with 4-inch thick tires for maximum traction and stability. The Birch Grolar features 26” x 4” fat, puncture-proof tires to provide the best grip and control for users. These durable, thick wheels are perfect for getting down and dirty with anything you throw at them. 

Long-Lasting Battery 

Once you’re out in the wild, you want your focus to be on the hunt—not whether or not you’ll make it out in one piece. Look for electric hunting bikes with high-quality, high-capacity batteries that offer extended mileage to relieve travel anxiety on long treks. 

Typical e-bikes for hunting might offer 50-70 miles of pedal assistance on one battery, but the Grolar goes above and beyond with an impressive 85-mile range. With its 48V 25Ah, 1200Wh lithium-ion battery, the Grolar possesses extraordinary mileage that far exceeds competitors. 

Silent, Scentless Operation 

In hunting, silence is golden when you’re in pursuit. A gas-guzzling, rip-roaring vehicle’s only service on a hunt is to scare away prey. If you’re looking for a stealthier, subtler vehicle, stealth hunting ebikes are quiet and devoid of the strong scent of fuel. Combined with their speed and agility, hunting electric bikes are the ultimate companions for hunters surveying the field. 

Durable, Long-Lasting Frame

The frame is the skeleton holding your off-road electric bike together, so you’ll need a bike that has a sturdy frame to withstand natural conditions. Whether you’re battling rain and snow or dust and mud, a high-quality aluminum alloy frame is more lightweight than steel and nearly just as durable.  

Cargo Capacity

When you’re hunting, you’re carrying all your gear, plus the weight of your kill. Features like sturdy racks and equipment trailers for additional cargo space make your hunting e-bike a reliable pack mule. Never settle for less; the Birch Grolar can haul up to 400 pounds of gear due to its powerful dual-motor configuration. With durable front and rear racks, along with after-market trailers and mount accessories, the Grolar is designed with a hunter’s cargo needs in mind. 

Advanced Suspension

Comfortable suspension cushions you against bumpy rides, making your off-road adventures safe and smooth. If you’re thinking about getting a fat tire e-bike like the Grolar, know that robust, thick tires also help absorb shocks from the road. At Birch, we go the extra mile, offering front-inverted suspension and saddle tube suspension for enhanced comfort.
