I am 70 years and in need of something that can climb rolling hills with some rocks to negotiate I am thinking an e-trike could work. Anybody do it or know anybody that does?

In similar shape, just tagging in.
Looks like no one uses these for hunting.

Thinking about a trike also, since it is so quiet. The animals know the sound of my Polaris.

A quad would be more stable.

I would think you risk greater injury on a bicycle going up a trail with gear than you do walking. I'd also say if you are in a condition where walking is not feasible, then get an atv. If your knees are up to it, I'd suggest getting a gravel bike and start riding and throw rucking into the mix. Good luck.
They make electric 4 wheel rigs that work off road. MUCH better idea than a 3 wheel version. Just a couple of examples. Google will find a ton for you.
Rode the first Honda trikes that came out when I was in my 20s, dangerous as hell but young a stupid so got away with it. I am nearing your age now and still use a Honda gas Quad, probably will as long as I hunt as it is great for hauling out game. Not to sure the electrics would do that very well.

All it needs is a shooting rest/forks. PERFECT for prairie dogging!

I'm all "charged up" about this topic! Awaiting some "electrifying" responses!

I bow hunt off of a Luna X2.5 Enduro with the Ludicrous tune. $4k, really powerful, long battery life, great value, great woods bike. It will literally leave all my buddies riding $8k Carbon Evo's in the dust uphill. Depending on my input (peddling on Lvl 3), I get 35 miles with a 45lb Exo pack thru a full day of steep up and down and come back with 30% battery left in the tank.
I know it's not a trike, but it'll make you feel like a kid again blasting steep uphill.
