I finally got an ebike.
I am a road cyclist for years, but I ran into a group of guys that ride deep sand trails in central FL.
Sand is 5"+ deep. I can barely walk up some of the hills. (Yes there are hills in central Florida- the ridge.) I tried this on a regular mountain bike with 2.25" tires- couldn't go 20feet. These bikes have 5" wide tires, 1200 watts- and we use every watt available. I got a Rambo Venom2. The group has tried other brands, and they did not hold up to the abuse.
It is a blast- but definitely different than a regular bike.
