    Solar panel battery charging.

    SPENDY BUT INSTANT SUCCESS: 1.) BATTERY-> BLUETTI AC200 MAX Li Fe Po battery 2.)SOLAR -> Off Grid TREK 220 watt folding blanket with premium SunPower flexible solar panels. Worked great on a recent antelope hunt in remote north central Nevada. Kept my AWD E-MTB bike's dual batteries easily...

    What will be your next emtb? Lightweight or full fat?

    I currently own an E-CELLS Super Monarch Crown, AWD, 2 battery, dual suspension, 95 pound "cargo" hunting E-MTB and it will likely be my last one, me being a fit 80 years vintage. It was great on a recent antelope hunt in remote north central Nevada. Charged it with a BLUETTI AC200 MAX that...

    Power stations

    I use a BLUETTI AC200 MAX Li Fe Po battery charged by an Off Grid TREK 220 watt folding solar blanket. Yeah, a very spendy setup, especially the outstanding OGT solar blanket at US $1,700. but well worth it for backcountry car camp E-MTB trips and power outage situations to keep...

    Solar Charging?

    I recently returned from an E-MTB powered antelope hunt in north central Nevada. See my story above. I used an Off Grid TREK 220 watt solar blanket to charge my BLUETTI lithium iron phosphate "solar" battery and everything went very well. IT charged my two bike batteries (17.5 Ahand 14 Ah) in...

    My (unsuccessful) E-MTB antelope hunt

    Two weeks ago I went on my first E-MTB powered antelope hunt in north central Nevada (Lander County). With a great rifle and scope and poor shooting I missed FOUR antelope. Aaaarrrggghhh! Turns out I had the wrong ballistic hold-overs taped inside my scope cap. Anyway, all else went swimmingly...

    AAAARRRRGGGHHH! Lost my rear battery today!

    I'm wondering how the very specific fit and hookup would work on a non-E-CELLS E-MTB, saying someone did keep the battery.

    what are your feelings on riding trails that are in USFS areas?

    Arminius, "better food" in GERMANY - than where, Russia? the UK? Perhaps. Oh, I missed the winking imogi, sorry. "The French live to eat. The Russians eat to live."

    AAAARRRRGGGHHH! Lost my rear battery today!

    Nope, not on the road. But it was on the trail somewhere, When I retraced my ride it appears somebody picked it up. I left a sign at the trailhead with my phone number and a USD $50. reward but given the price of those units I doubt if I'll ever see it again. I ordered a new one. Now I'm...

    AAAARRRRGGGHHH! Lost my rear battery today!

    Out trail riding with my E-Cells 2 wheel drive, 2 battery E-MTB today and when I returned to my car to put the bike on the rack I noticed the rear battery that fits under the rack was MISSING! I must not have checked to see if it was secured. :confused: I rode back over my route and could not...

    When your eBike burns your whole house down...

    if you buy an aftermarket charger that permits you to see the % of charge then be sure you buy one from a known quality fabricator. You should be able to use it without fear - except for damage to your wallet. But yeah, charge lithium batteries outside. If you have no outside location to store...

    Hee, hee, "... a token gesture." I'm so honored to be "let in" to this esteemed forum. Seriously I find this forum to be polite and helpful. So How does one pay for the subscription required? On another mtb forum I was mercilessly derided for owning an e-mtb that had 2 wheel drive, 2 batteries...

    E-MTB surplus greatly exaggerated?

    Humanbeerspong, I envy your handle. Her in the American colonies we are having a Craft Beer Renaissance. Smart beer drinkers here in the US never drink Budweiser because they know that the horses that make Budweiser have kidney problems. Glad to hear you saved 1774 Pounds Sterling on your bike...

    E-MTB surplus greatly exaggerated?

    SWAMPNuT, I agree, "utility" bikes like my E-CELLS are not going to sell like much lighter e-mtb trail bikes. BUT hunters are buying up these bikes in greater numbers every year because, let's face it, they are far quieter than a stinky ATV and better for the environment. Plus are useful in...

    E-MTB surplus greatly exaggerated?

    cozzy, PERSACTLY! Different bikes for different purposes, like ev-trucks and ev-cars, very different uses and some crossover uses. Look at the RAMBO Megatron 2 wheel drive bike. Not even close in quality, power and features to the E-CELLS bike and then RAMBO prices it about $1,400. more. BTW...

    E-MTB surplus greatly exaggerated?

    Stihldog, Thanks for posting the photos of "The Monster". Yeah, at 95 pounds it IS a monster. I got it for hunting to haul out boned-out elk, mule deer and antelope. It is capable of hauling out 400 pounds (including me, natch). I need a "Jeep" for backcountry hunting and hauling. After...
