Ebikes 101: Making an Educated Purchase (Room Salt Palace Convention Center Room 150G)

17 Feb 19
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM

Ebikes are becoming more and more popular in the hunting industry.  However, many hunters purchase an ebike with limited understanding of ebike motors, batteries, components and gearing, all of which can limit or enhance the ebikes ability to perform.  This seminar will address the most critical components of an ebike, thus allowing the consumer to make an educated purchase based on the intended application.  We will discuss the difference between hub-drive and mid-drive motors as well as the difference between a torque sensing motor and a non-torque sensing motor.  We will help the consumer understand lithium ion batteries and how they, along with the motor, rider weight, terrain and multiple other factors, influence the distance you can travel on a single charge.  We will explain the importance of running the correct gears for the type of terrain being hunting.  We will discuss laws and regulations that govern the use of ebikes and the importance of being respectful and courteous while riding to preserve this game-changing advancement in the hunting industry.
