[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2614993, member: 97050"] It doesn’t bother me to see an ebike on foot trails. Laws aside. However, depends on the land type. I don’t think you can used any vehicle like thing in wildernesses, for example. Though my whole initial point was, there’s no way ebikes are going “off-road.” Off-road in 4x4 talk means off pavement. In real 4x4 talk, it means a rated 4x4 trail. I’m not talking about dirt roads or bike paths at all either way. In hunt talk, it means, off the road. Like there IS NO path. No humans. For these bikes, it’s too thick. There’s water crossings that involve bolder hopping. There is long distances. There are long elevation gains. It’s rained on me for a week in mid August while hitting triple digits. It’s rocky. It’s cliffed. I have 60 lbs of gear or more when bivy hunting on expedition. I start to lose other hunters about 3 miles away from any road (4x4) or trail (like the PCT). I end up so far away because there’s not always water, food or cover for animals. You use your glass to cover more distance. There’s the western pro tip. What you did in Nevada is just one experience. I understand how Antelope/pronghorn hunting can be. Again, I’m only respectfully attacking the wording used in the OP, that to cover big distance, you need a ebike. I understand your age, and I understand that in THAT particular hunt, that you think it would have been useful to have a ebike. Here’s last week for example.
