Hunting E-Bikes: Two Innovators Redefining Mobility in the Woods | Ep. 97

In this special episode, Joe sits down with two innovators shaping the future of hunting mobility. Dieter Kochan, creator of FaceOff EBikes, shares how purpose-built engineering, durability, and scent-reducing advantages are transforming the way hunters access the woods. He dives into his journey in the e-bike industry, the integration of Lone Wolf Custom Gear, and the technical details—like drivetrain choices and component strength—that matter when reliability is everything.
 
Joe is also joined by Steve Pinkston of Hardcore eCycles, who breaks down the design philosophy behind his Mountain Tamer model. Steve highlights the importance of real engineering collaboration, torque-sensing technology, and responsive power delivery that adapts to the rider. He explains how rider feedback and constant refinement shape bikes that elevate the hunt.
 
Rather than comparing brands, this episode focuses on shared expertise, thoughtful design, and the craftsmanship behind two companies dedicated to helping hunters go farther, stay quieter, and hunt smarter.
