No its not an HD tribute build, its a bike to use hog hunting.
Coastal Georgia as well as other areas/states have become infested with feral hogs. These animals are destructive to the native ecosystem as well as farms, yards and gardens. The Ga DNR has allowed unlimited hunting of these animals in hope of eradication or at least controlling them. Our island is home to a herd that we are working to eliminate. They hang out at uninhabited end of the island and raid at night. HOA rules forbid hunting at night to prevent waking the community. They will scatter through the marsh if hunted during the day by the usual merhods.
I discovered a bit ago if done carefully I could trail them on one of my ebikes. So I decided to build a purpose built bike from junk I had left from other past builds. Pedals were a hindrance in the close brush so this bike is pedal less and will use foot pegs. The hub motor is a front 48v 500w which will be run on a 24v controller. This will allow running modular 4s Lipo packs of 33.6v and 50.4v. The 24v controller will allow running the lower voltage packs as its LVC is lower than a 36/48v controller which would shut out the lower voltage. I will monitor the packs voltage to stay above its low voltage minimum. I have been running a 24v controller in this manner for awhile now with no adverse effects.
Since there are no pedals the front hub will be run in the rear. Am hoping to adapt a disc brake to the rear of the bike. The frame is a Schwinn Point Beach aluminum. Tires are WTB 2.3 knobbies. That's about it there is not much too it and it was a quick build.
Just waiting on the rear disc, and to fab the foot pegs. Then it will be time to load the back pack, and grab the AR 15 and hit the woods. Has sort of a Wehrmacht look about it.
