Would it be considered a motorized vehicle? Making it illegal to use on public lands where motorized vehicles are illegal?

How does the pedal assist work? That looks like a sweet rig but way too expensive

I believe that you charge the battery by pedaling.

so it still takes an electric motor to turn it... I'd guess that would be up to the individual area manager to decide if it's a motorized vehicle or not.

looking again at the front sprocket, that thing must be geared WAY down. I doubt it would get much speed but you would need the torque in rough terrain for sure. I have ridden in relatively flat and easy areas to hunt, just to chop off some of the time it takes to get to the stand. But rough terrain I leave the bike behind, I am more efficient at walking. Then again I'm not going 18 miles to look for a very large animal.

my non electric regular old mountain bike is not worth a flip in mud or sand. When I hit a mud pit or try to ride on the beach, I pick up the bike and carry it. ImThere and BigA will know about the mud pits.
 
The fat tire moutain bikes were designed for mud and sand. They are very popular in snow areas. Very surprising how well they work in mud. I would think that would be a nice setup minus the electric stuff. Low geared pedal version.

x2, or rutted up roads.

That's nice if you have an ATV permit or under 40 but for the rest of us, we need the electric bikes. :) That bike is basically a public land ATV for about the same money. But, way too pricey for my budget. I love my bike set up but can only use it on good roads. I've put in my request for paved bike trails but so far nothing. :(
 
I rode mine in to hunt one morning and it rained hard while I was hunting making the roads a muddy mess. I couldn't ride over 10 feet without the mud clogging up between the tires and frame to the point the wheels wouldn't turn at all. I ended up having to carry it out over a mile. Never again. I'll walk first.

On good dry roads they're great.

I had the same thing happen to me Mike except the roads were frozen and then warmed up to make a muddy mess. If you find that mud that wants to stick to the tires, you are screwed. Carrying a 100 pound bike on your back covered in mud is no fun. Still the benefits on good roads versus walking for miles is worth it to me. I think they will have to do something at some point about all the permits. I know some who have them for plantar fasciitis. Everyone over 50 has bad feet or knees to some degree including me. I know most are needed, but I think they should require a Dr's note each year for certain ailments or better yet just charge a $500 fee for anyone wanting a permit. They can use the money to maintain the ATV trails.
