For me, every fly fishing trip starts with a three to four-hour drive. Add onto that, an hour or two hours walk, and then the walk out again, and then another three to four hours home. You're looking at a 10-hour day and you haven't even done any fishing. So I've been looking at ways to cut down that walk time and I was actually looking at E-mountain bikes and then this came up, a Kugoo Wish 01 electric dirt bike that is going to make my fly fishing day hopefully a little bit easier and a little bit quicker.

What a great idea Johan, brilliant in situations that it with work, Anything to spend more productive time on the water,

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 месяца назад

Absolutely and I'm looking forward to testing it out on a longer overnight trip to see how much I can get out of it. Makes it more fun too. Hope you are well and have been getting some good fishing done over summer.

Have also been considering buying an e-bike to get into the more remote areas of the Snowy’s in Australia - thanks for sharing your adventure Johan - love your relaxed style 🙏

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 месяца назад

Another one. Thanks so much for the support. It's extremely appreciated. Hope you find a good solution to get into the Snowy's. An e-bike might give you more options in terms of tracks you can go on. Let me know what you get in the end. Tight lines.

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 месяца назад

Haha, yeah, not really a river crossing one this, but I thought you would find it funny and also that I got cleaned out by a boat 🤣. This is not far from where you were camping. Same river.

@pierevojzola9737 3 месяца назад

Hi Johan, nice to see you doing a bit of creative fishing. One of the best memories I have of combining transport and fishing was on horseback, I could stay in the saddle and fish from a nice high position. Everything was OK until I spooked the horse. Ouch! Like your bike, any chance of extending the range? Cheers mate. Harera

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 месяца назад

Oh a spooked horse in a river with a fly rod. Ouch indeed. Imagine landing them on horseback must have been a tad tricky too. I am planning to extend the range with a Bluetti EB3A portable power station that Ionready gave me for that reason. It's light enough to stick in my backback and should give me another 5-10km extra which is all I need as a safety net for my next trip, which is 24km return. Looking forward to giving that a go. I also believe that this bike can get a 21Ah battery which should give it 40km or more but I have only seen that in an online review. I think it's well suited to something like a hunting camp with tracks leading out, especially if you can charge it overnight at camp. It's much more quiet than a quad or normal dirt bike, which should be helpful for hunting farm tracks and such.

@pierevojzola9737 3 месяца назад

Hi Johan, great expectations! I look forward to the upcoming videos, sounds very exciting. As for getting a fish out of water whilst on a horse, well there is the groom come bodyguard and the local equivalent of the Ranger. Cheers mate. Harera

@tenkarapondfishing4611 3 месяца назад

Great video! New Zealand? Are you stripping a dry-dropper? Thanks

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 месяца назад

Yes it's New Zealand. Not stripping, dead drift. I only strip to remove excess slack and keep in contact as it drifts downstream. Hope that makes sense. Tight lines.

After riding some bumps, does it feel like its falling apart? Do you think itll last at least for a while?

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 9 дней назад

It's been absolutely fine after both those trips. Nothing broke. Build is decent so I think it will last a while. My only worry for what I do is that it's not fully weather sealed so the battery shouldn't get soaked. It rains a lot here and as you see in the video pretty wet so I am worried about damaging thr battery. But with the battery out I have fully pressure washed it twice with no issues. So it's just the battery that isn't sealed and the connections to it. Otherwise a great fun bike.

@rossi8123 3 месяца назад

Wow that's great idea to motor bike in. If rain comes when you are riding, does this cause break the bike ?

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 месяца назад

They told me rain, dew and puddles are ok, just don't submerge it. It got splashed pretty thoroughly on this trip and it still works fine. I took the battery out and washed it with the hose fully as well and still working. I think it's mainly the connection with the battery that can't get too wet. Still I don't go on trips like this in bad weather cause rivers here rise very quick and you can either get stuck or in big trouble with high or flooded rivers so I only go with a clear forecast for at least 2 days either side of my trip.

@rossi8123 3 месяца назад

Thank you for clear answer ! When did you purchase the bike ? So far no issue with it ?

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 месяца назад

@rossi8123 I am just borrowing it at the moment to test and make some videos. Just did another trip today. Much tougher terrain. The video should be out soon, hopefully less than a week so keep an eye out for it. It did very well in spite of crazy terrain, mud, water, fallen trees and steep clay hills. Well past what it is made for. So wait for that video and have a look.

@@rossi8123 hey how’s the bike after 2 months

@toddtapia8610 3 месяца назад

Is it still running after getting it so wet?

@CrazyAboutFlyFishing 3 месяца назад

Yup, had it out yesterday for another video and it got a lot more wet. It's still running this morning after all of that and being washed with the hose fully (with the battery out) twice now. It seems the only parts not waterproof are the battery and the the two connections to it (power and charging port). But those are high up and apprears ro be well protected from water splash going through even deep puddles and mud. Saying that it's not made for what I did with it yesterday (huge deep puddles and bog mud) but just mud and dirt and shrubs and stuff no issues. Don't know about heavy rain though, I think that could soak into places it shouldn't go but also a bit of temporary silicone should prevent issues. Watch the next vid and you will see what I mean. Feel free to email me from my website and I can give you my number if you want to chat about it in detail.
