Is it something you would do on a regular basis or is it a one-and-done novelty ride? Wish I had one to borrow. Thinking something like this to start out:

Holy Cow, Curt...what a gorgeous beast! LOVE the color combo!

My latest e-bike has fat tires, but I haven't had an opportunity to test her in soft sand yet. But I can confirm I have watched them (e and non-e) ridden by others here go through soft sand without issue.

Here's my beast....



Please keep us posted!
