[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1990395, member: 104268"] It's simple physics. Shreks require bigger horses/wagons/cars/bikes, or get less comfort, range, and performance for the same size bikes. And have trouble finding cheap and comfortable shoes, but I digress... With the goal of hunting as long as your body allows, an E-bike is a GREAT way to start, but they are vehicles that require some learning and practice, and can be very dangerous (approaching horses, ORVs, and MX), if caught in a "situation" at speed. I [U]assure you[/U], at some point you will end up going faster than prudent on an e-bike, whether your 17 or 71. They are a blast. 😃 If you are serious about an e-bike purchase, make sure your "Shrekness" can still pedal a normal bike around a parking lot, with safe braking, steering, and balance. If you can do that, then with some practice, you can do so much more with an e-bike. If you check the above box, contact the manufacturer regarding sizing. As for battery life, the weight will matter, but not as much as you think. It's not linear. A 100 lb rider won't go twice as far as a 200 lb rider. Also, because of the "Shrek" sized feet and thighs, you'll deliver more power to the bike, partially offsetting GVW losses. As for the price, if you're willing to wait, and buy directly from China (as apposed to Chinese parts assembled here), there are some really amazing machines to be had at half the price of the ones you can buy on Cabelas/Midway. That said, those parts assembly companies appear to provide outstanding service and support, which can be worth a [U]lot[/U]. [/QUOTE]
