I suppose pedals are extra too?! I've seen a bunch of them in Fla. I spose it makes exercising easier..
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

The Forest service has roads they close to motorized vehicles but don’t consider the eBike as motorized the perfect way to get away from other hunters and side by sides. Nothing sucks more then hiking in a mile to get passed by a side by side. LOL

The roads that are gated and locked would be ideal for one just go in 2 miles or more and your on your own most likely. Do a little Google earth checking and make sure it’s a long enough road to work for you. Don’t trust the paper maps I found roads that were not on the National Forest maps they hand out.

I don't get the craze personally. Its not very hard to pedal a bike and a heck of a lot cheaper too. Every few years a new gimmick comes out that you must have to kill a deer and this seems to be it.

I got my Rad Rover Step-Through just before my turkey season. I got the Step-Through because I have short, stumpy legs and I have a hard time swinging them up and over the conventional bar. It comes with lights and I also ordered a rear rack for it. They cost $1699 with free shipping.
I tell ya, that thing is going to open up a lot of territory for just about everything I do. For someone who is starting to have trouble getting around due to age, broken or replaced parts, or simply not having the gumption anymore, I think they are fantastic. You have to be a little cautious because you can get going pretty fast plus the weight of the thing can make stopping, then standing a little dicey because of the momentum of the bike. I had mine up to 17 mph on the road pulling a cart I made for it our of an old golf bag cart.
Law Dog, I think it would be perfect for you out in the Black Hills. I have hunted out there several times and I know what you are talking about.
This thing is going to revive my ability to get around for hunting and trapping, and I am going to love it.

I can see where the E-bike could open up a lot of Public land that is a mile or more from the parking area or road
Moosetrot is going to be a mile in at day break and cut some calls then cruise int he direction of the turkey
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I prefer a good horse or mule myself. I can go into wilderness areas with them too. Except in Wyoming as a non-resident. Agreed!! I ran into some guys with these this spring and they said they could do 20mi a day through rough country on a charge. My horse can do more but getting a trailer to the trailhead is the biggest downside. Throwing a bike on a rack would be easier. Plus not taking care of it year round.
