In our last episode we had the opportunity to sit down with Jacob Roach, Founder of QuietKat, to answer a lot of the questions that have come up in our lives as well as in the Patreon group. Jacob was a wealth of knowledge and will be back for a part two very soon. Be sure to listen to the episode below!
We discuss the origins of QuietKat and the need for better access in outdoor areas. We also delve into the regulations and classifications of e-bikes, including the different classes and their limitations. Jacob explains the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) and how it can enhance the user experience with e-bikes. We also touch on the efficiency and effectiveness of e-bikes in hunting, the spreading of pressure on public lands, and the importance of responsible usage. In this conversation, Jacob Roach from QuietKat discusses the stealth and intrusiveness of e-bikes, the distance and range they can cover, maintenance and cleaning tips, the difference between hub drive and mid drive e-bikes, transporting game with e-bikes, regulations and resources for e-bikes, and why choose QuietKat e-bikes.
