E-Bikes in the Backcountry: The Future of Western Hunting – Dave Andre

In this episode of the Tricer Podcast, Drew Miles is joined by BAKCOU Bikes co-founder Dave Andre to talk about how hunting e-bikes are changing the way we access the mountains. Dave walks through the origin of BAKCOU, how he and his brother-in-law went from an excavating business and neurophysiology to building purpose-built e-bikes for Western hunters, and what truly sets their bikes apart from cheap Amazon options. They dig into real hunt stories where e-bikes and scooters made the difference on elk, aoudad, whitetails, and mule deer, plus how overbuilt frames, powerful mid-drive motors, and smart geometry help hunters go farther, quieter, and with more energy for the pack out. The episode wraps with a look at evolving e-bike regulations, ethical trail use, and the "Bigger Than the Hunt" giveaway that unites brands to support kids in need.
