I am on the verge of buying one. I think they would be very useful for covering a lot of ground quickly and quietly.
I have nothing clever to put here.

That's amazing jbyrd. I've never heard of 1 used for hunting.
Is it common for them to have a motor?
Some ride them in snow around here, but I haven't noticed if they have motors.
No doubt they are gaining popularity.
I bet they aren't cheap $
I'm pondering looking into 1. I'm not even aware of a place that sells them. Maybe Scheels.

I got the exact same bike as you do Jbyrd. Love mine too. I ended up buying a second battery to extend my range. Darn battery was nearly half the price of the bike!
I also got the luggage rack and have mounted a box on it to carry stuff. I recently bought a motorcycle carrier from harbor freight and made some adjustments on it so I can carry it around behind my pick up.

How are the tires in cactus County? Not sure of what they call it but there is some sort of material in the RAD bike tires that prevents punctures. If you look on the Specifications they mention it. Moosetrot

I bought amM2S all terrain. I use mine for hunting. I can ride right up to my stand with deer on the plot and not spook them actually happens more than you would think. I’m currently putting a set of adult training wheels on mine after a couple slick muddy road incidents. Mine is also 750 watts and will go 25 mph with my big self on it. I really like the electric assist going up hill it makes peddling really easy. I get about 15 miles of continuous use out of the battery. I was going to build one till I saw the price of the batteries.

Trying to get a buddy to get one he has knee issues (he’s fat) but he’s resistant to the idea. Told him he might look like the bear in the circus ran away riding the thing. I might be needing one myself one day but I can still cover some miles if I need to. LOL
