[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2614434, member: 54178"] [B]1.) "Horsies" are expensive to rent and tough to transport over rough roads. 2.) ELECTRIC mountain bikes are relatively easy to use, even in rough terrain. Pedaling is an "assist" to the motor/battery and not always necessary. Hunting with pedal-only mountain bikes is NOT me. 3.) Panniers front and back is where most of the load is (or should be) carried on E-bikes. not in a backpack. 4.) "Feeding" E-bike batteries is the problem but there are fold-out solar panels by several companies that charge supplemental battery chargers. (look it up on Youtube) In Nevada we have a [I]lot[/I] of sunlight to power the solar panels. [/B] So far I have not yet decided on solar panels & supplemental batteries or the smallest Honda generator. More research is needed about the best way to recharge the E-bike batteries. For sure I'll need at least one spare bike battery to charge back at camp while I'm riding around. That's likely to be around $500. and up. Yikes! BTW, Amyjune is correct, "Hunting in Nevada is all about covering ground." 'nuff sed. [/QUOTE]
