[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1663737, member: 54178"] OK, OK, OK! I get it, e-bikes in a backpacking forum is blasphemy but hear me out. If you get a good hunting electric bike you still need to have lightweight backpacking gear to maximize battery life and the amount of meat you can haul out. Plus if the bike goes tits up you can still backpack out for help. As Len Backus can attest, I'm a geezer and nearing the end of backpack hunting years. To me an e-bike will extend my backcountry hunting years. If this hunting e-bike stuff takes off maybe we'll need a new forum for it - who knows? So keep an open mind about e-bikes and look them over. They are quiet and the good ones are pretty reliable. For both scouting and hunting it would be a big help, even for younger guys with bad knees, bad back, bad wife, etc. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
