I'm deep in the New Zealand backcountry fly fishing for big rainbow trout and I used a Kugoo Wish 01 electric dirt bike to get to my spot. What an adventure it turned out to be.

Great adventure & epic day Johan. I also have the Zoleo. Very great tool for sending texts, location & even get weather updates. Tight lines until next time.
Thanks Pieter, I have been making good use of the Zoleo. Especially since starting to take my oldest into the bush with me.
Nice scenery! Some great fish too
It's a stunning little river but not so stunning getting there. The bush is pretty average previously logged thick srcub really. Guess thats why DOC let's the tracks there get into such a mess. Only thing they seem to do is trapping to protect the Whio.
Excellent video. Enjoyed the bike ride portion almost as much as the fishing part. Those fish were outstanding and you did a great job catching them. The scenery was beautiful too. It's the first full day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Looking forward to fishing my brains out very soon. I hope to catch some nice rainbows as you did. Thanks for the post.
That's great to hear. I definitely want to do a bit more adventures like these. It's hard work at times but great fun and when it works out the rewards are excellent. I hope you have a great season. Temperatures are starting to drop here now but Autumn fishing should still be good for a few months before we go over to our winter fishing in Taupo. Tight lines.
Awesome - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching, tight lines.
Hi Johan, loved this video and you deserved catching those beautiful fish. The bike certainly proved itself and so did you! Thanks for all that effort you put into this trip, I very much enjoyed watching you and was dreading the return trip. One of your best trips? Cheers mate. Harera
Thanks very much. It was certainly one of my best trips but I did do an incredible trip with Pawel in February which I am still working on. We did a 5 day heli trip into the backcountry during cicada season and the fishing was incredible. It will take some time to edit but keep an eye out for it.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishingLooking forward to see that trip. Cheers
excellent production Johan, the longer video makes more of a story. The bike is adding a whole new dimension, I thought my caravan was the best fishing accessory I have bought but am not so sure now. Keep up the good work, cheers Neil
Thanks very much Neil, glad you enjoyed it. The bike certainly makes for a fun trip in and out and also gives me the ability to do day trips instead of overnight. Tight lines.
That was a real adventure!!! I like the bike. Though it might be too small for me but after trying, I must say it's brilliant. You have proved already that can easily change the trip for much more fun.
Excellent fishing. Great video!!!
It's a fun little bike that gives you a few more options for trips. I'll have to take you to this spot, it's a nice one.
Amazing video Johan Such huge fish out of tiny pools Also loved the bike
That stream is a little gem. I couldn't believe the size of that last fish out of that tiny pool. Glad you enjoyed the video. Tight lines.
Amazing Bike ride coupled with true grit and amazing fish..😁
It was a heap of fun, glad you enjoyed it. Tight lines.
Hi thanks for sharing that epic adventure. You could also use the bike to get so far and then walk the rest perhaps for an overnight but you would also have to carry more gear.
Yeah that's definitely an option and could make for a significantly shorter walk in. I'd be happy riding with a light overnight back. I'm also looking at the option of simly buying and extra battery. It is smaller than the EB3A and only weighs a little bit more. 2 batteries would give you really good range.
RAD adventure Johan!
Thanks mate, glad you like it.
That was adventure - thanks for sharing Johan…
Thanks so so much, I really appreciate these and it goes straight toward the next video. Tight lines
nice fish as usual always a good watch
Thanks very much, I think you'll love the next one if zi can just finish the editing. 5 days dry fly heli trip with Pawel in cicada season. Just so much to edit but getting there. Tight lines
This is another level m8. really enjoying these.
Thanks mate, good fun to make. Hope I can do more adventures like these.
Thanks!
Awesome thank you so much 🥰
Riding the bike into those mud bogs Is risky business Johan I had a mate lose a polaris and needed a tractor tow to get out doing that. The polaris was sweet but a long walk to get help
Haha yeah I was lucky that bike is so small. It still took a bit off serious effort to get it out of that big mud hole. It was strange as the rest of the track was decent hard bottom just a soft layer on top. I gues past of the reason there is a detour around that now. I won't be doing tracks like that again though. Easier to walk that! 🤣🤣
Awesome video mate
Thanks mate, happy to hear that. Tight lines
what an adventure. Lekker man. Sterkte
Dankie
Amazing fishing niceuncle
Many many thanks
good video like the bike to
Excellent thanks, glad you do.
Mmm. Didn't realise i needed an little electric dirtbike until now! PS. There are more fish upstream, but few and far apart.
Great thanks for that info. I figured that might be the case as it was a good walk between the confluence and that last fish. I'll have to go and explore a bit more some time. Expect it could be good end of season potentially.
Awesome video! How is this bike holding up over the time you’ve owned it? Also what sort of range have you been getting with the 16Ah battery? Cheers
It's done well so far, all still working in spite of what I put it through which I suspect is beyond the manufacturers recommendedation 🤣. The max I got testing it on the bigginners track at Thundercross Valley was 24km but it is very dependent on terrain and speed. I'm still hoping I can get another battery for it so I can do longer trips. But otherwise it's very good bang for your buck and I just figured out I can fit it on my Torpedo 7 bike rack when I remove the battery without issues. That makes transport a breeze.
This is my dream to fish new Zealand trout
Hope you can make it come true some day
Please do a review video for the wish 01!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Have you watched both of my Kugoo videos? I think I cover most things pretty well over the 2 videos? My channel is fly fishing focused so I probably won't do an in depth review bu feel free to email me from my website if you have any specific questions about the bike. I'd be more than happy to answer them. There is at least one other full review on UA-cam that covers it pretty well already if you need more info. Have a great day.
Wow what a good size rainbow trout ! Really impressed with electric bike , it did very well though muddy road. When you come up to steep gravel road, did you use gear 1 or gear 3 ? thanks !
Gear 2 or 3 depening on how steep it was. If it was too steep and slippery I got off and walked pushing in with a bit of power in gear 1 or 2. Gear 3 would just spin.
Thank you for reply. Your bike got a lot of mud this time, did you wash the bike after removing the battery ? Was it ok to wash ?
@rossi8123 yes I removed the battery and washed it with a hose first and this morning with a light pressure wash and once it dried I put the battery back and did a test drive and it worked fine.
Thanks for how to wash instruction. Did you find that the battery level gage on little screen goes up and down while riding ? mine does. the battery was fully charged , but the level went down 4 from 6 and then went back to 6 again.
@rossi8123 yes it does depending on mode and how much power you give. I assume e.g. if you are going up a hill full throttle in mode 3 it uses more power therefore it must determine that at that powerlevel the battery won't last as long as when you are in mode 2 cruising a flat surface again then the level bumps back up. That was my thoughts anyway. I did notice it especially on the big uphills going low and then coming back up on the flat. Do you experience the same? I think the terrain makes a big difference on battery use.
How waterproof is the bike?
Not fully. Can't submerge the battery but other than that I have gone through a lot of mud and puddles without issues, the battery commections aren't waterproof but fairly resistant. I powerwash it after each ride, just take the battery out and have had no issues with that. Its still going well, just used it for a week long hunting trip two weeks ago. I really like it just wish it had a bigger battery. That would make it much more useful for offgrid stuff. But it's perfect if you have overnight charging available and not excessively steep terrain.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing oh okay thank youu
How do you know where to go? Keen to have a Crack on the Surron
I would love to have a go with a Surron. Hopefully I get a chance next year. I only know a couple of places to be honest, both I have been. It takes a lot of research and searching UA-cam videos and try to work out where people are using quad bikes. Hunting and offroad videos are a good starting point. The are more likely to give the location.
Time to buy a Ute (bakkie😉)
🤣🤣 I could buy about 20 of these bikes instead. I've had one in the past and with the fuel cost couldn't afford to go fishing 🤣🤣. There is the odd time I would love one but I'm all good with a tiny 2wd. Saying that my new car is a tad on the low side.
big fish little bike stores
It was such a fun trip, great to get that big one at the end.
Gotta love middle earth with my doom in the back ground
@@capchurnaychur6614 it's a pretty epic location indeed
