I own a 2023 E-CELLS Super Monarch Crown, an EMTB that can haul 400 pounds, including rider weight. I post here because, with 2 wheel drive and 2 SAMSUNG batteries (20 Ah and 15 Ah) my bike can HAUL! It is a "different kind of cargo bike". You say you need MORE power??
Well Bunkie, E-CELLS makes two other powerful models that will satisfy your craving.
HUNTING: For hauling out "boned-out" big game meat the Super Monarch Crown is ideal. The meat bags ride in my rear panniers and front basket. For an antelope or mule deer one trip out is all it takes. for cow elk, two trips and bull elk I think it would take 3 trips to include the antlered head and huge amount of meat. Boning out a big game animal means skinning it and removing 90% of the meat from the bones. Time consuming but necessary. There are YouTube videos on this process that are very detailed to help hunters do it right the 1st time.
CAMPING: Since I'm already a UL backpacker with a pack for 5 days coming in at under 35 pounds with 2 liters of water and all gear and food my E-CELLS bike can easily haul that amount in the panniers with some room to spare for my 220 watt solar blanket and controller for charging my bike. This way I can let the bike charge while I explore on foot. I'm not yet into bike trailers and, given the ruggedness of Nevada backcountry, I likely won't get one. But with my setup I don't need one. The solar blanket is from Off Grid TREK, in Canada. While pricey it is the smallest and lightest (i.e most efficient) of its type while being the least expensive per watt. Rene at OGT will sell you the controller and make the charging cables up to connect to your bike's type of battery charge socket. The blanket size is 3' x 6' with grommets running down each side for staking out or cable locking it to your SUV's roof rack. It's waterproof and very durable. only connectors need to be protected from water. I highly recommend his new 300 watt blanket.
CAR CAMPING: The OTG solar blanket is cable locked to my SUV's roof cross bars and charges my BLUETTI AC200 MAX LFP power canter. This LFP battery runs my cooler on DC current all day and when I return it charges my 2 battery EMTB bike through a (patented) single charge port on the frame. There's plenty of charge left when the bike charge is topped off at 95%. The next day the solar blanket, even on overcast days, tops off the BLUETTI LFP power center while running the ICECO 20 liter cooler. (A man's gotta have his IPA and porter beer at the end of a hard day's hunt!)
