Its me Duncs
I put my rifle in my backpack (as it has a carry spot for it) and then put the pack in the luggage rack. Its perfect, as I dont have any weight on my back and can control the bike perfect. I have also had my day pack, which I put on the rear rack and sling my rifle over my back.
Postie bike is the best IMO as it has no hand clutch so you get alot of control, especially on the steep stuff. Ground clearance is fine. It really doesnt matter, as you can ride around every obstacle anyway. Im yet to find a spot that I couldn't get to.
The only downside is the power. I geared it down as much as I could go without buying a massive rear sprocket and it goes up alot of places. One hill I couldn't get up so I had to walk next to it.
The best one would be one of the low range CT110's. But only the new ones can be registered and they cost almost $5,000. $800 from the auctions and $20 for a front sprocket is alot better value.
