This may not be the best forum to ask, but I was wondering if anyone uses an e-bike to get around when shooting landscape. The idea crossed my mind when I was in upstate NY, and again when I was on Sandy Hook (an ocean beach park). In both places I would have liked to park my car, and ride an e-bike to get around the local area.
By e-bike, I mean a battery-and-leg-powered bicycle with perhaps a 25-mile range between charges.
The idea is to jam the photo gear into a backpack and e-ride around at 10 mph -- which would be better than walking around at 2-3 mph.
I am looking for any tips, pointers, or practical advice that two-wheeling Hogs might be able to offer.

I can understand the desire for an assited bike. I have severe arthritis with 2 artificial knees. This has limited the distances I could walk. I love photographing wildlife especially at our wildlife refuges and thought those days were over, then I discovered the E-wheels E-36 which has larger wheels and a distance of 40 miles. With the E-wheel I am still abe to do the photography I love.
