e-bike experience - RadPower out of Seattle - RadRover
I just bought a RadRover from Rad Power Bikes - www.radpowerbikes.com.
I did some research and feel like this is one of the best out there for the price. They are not the cheapest I have seen but I like the quality and features. It has both Pedal Assist (so you can still get some exercise) and throttle. It is powered by a 750Watt rear wheel motor. It is a Fat Tire bike (4" wide tires) and handles off road really well. Although most of my experience has been on gravel trails so not sure how well it would handle grassy areas.
I would caution you though, the prices are going to increase because of the Tariffs, so if you purchase one do so before next Thursday when the 25% Tariffs kick in.
Send me a private message if you want to talk, too much to write.

I thought that this was talked about in the past as to IF you can use it on public land . IF so I think that would be great you could get into some very back areas where people will not go .
I rode a Electric dirt bike last fall WOW amazing how far they have come . Silly costly though but it was crazy fast a ton of power . KTM version
Whats some thing like that cost ?
The tech on electric powered vehicles is getting better every year .

I have 2 of them-both Sondors originals- 1 black, 1 yellow. Pic enclosed.
My purpose was of course ease of use and towing or back packing stuff into trail accessible areas without wearing myself out. We hunt in Texas--sweating is not an option we can quit but we can control as much as possible.
Plus I'm getting older, have arthritis in both hips, can't walk as far and carry as much as I can on the bike.
Baskets, trailers, batteries and tires are your biggest ongoing expense once the bike is bought.
Sondors aren't the best or most expensive but they'll do.
