I have a negative view on the whole E-bike thing. Couple years ago on my very first saddle hunt me and a couple buddies walked a little over a mile and a half to get into some public ground we had scouted. Not that far but far enough from the access point to feel like we're the only ones out there. Found my spot, climbed the tree in the dark, waited for the sun to come up. This was opening morning of bow season and im super excited. About 7:00am I heard something coming that I have never heard in the woods before, didn't know what the heck it was. Then i see it.... some dude on an e-bike rides right up underneath my tree like 5 yards in front of me. Then his buddy shows up right behind him and they stop under my tree looking for their game camera. After a couple minutes I whistle at them and they see me and apologize then ride their bikes on up the hill, they talk for a while, stumble around from tree to tree until they find their camera. Then they come back by about 25 minutes later and leave. *** man. These guys were not handicapped in any way. They had no problem stomping around in the woods trying to locate their camera up and down the hill.
All that being said. I can see how riding through the woods on an ebike would be really cool. Seems like a great tool for hunting scouting and just for fun. In fact, if I could afford one I would love to try it. But i know how my wife would react if I told her I wanted to buy a couple thousand dollar bicycle for hunting. LOL
