Hunting Ebike Selection

[snakesrobinson]

I was hoping for some input, I know there have been posts on this topic but I haven't heard much in the way of water prevention for the electrical components. I have an 80 acre piece that I hunt and a lot of it is considered wetlands. We do have trails cut throughout but in some spots it can get as deep as a foot with mud/sludge. I've walked "quietly" into my stand for years but in reality big bucks bedding close by are getting educated every time they hear us walk in and out.

The idea of getting tomy stand quietly is a big drawing point for me with purchasing an e bike. Are there any models out there under $2K that are more water resistant than others? I am strongly interested in the M2S R750 but not sure how it will handle my property or if any bike can for that matter. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I can't imagine that biking will be quieter than walking. You'd probably want a fat-tire bike (for the mud) with a sealed hub and belt drive for those conditions.

I understand a fat tire would be the only possibility......I doubt that it will be quieter but it's a sound they won't recognize. Quieter than a 4 wheeler, no gas scent and the ability to cover ground are reasons many are starting to utilize these for hunting.
