Electric trials bike

What is best for farm use is a trail bike not a trials bike. Trials bikes do not have a sensible seat as they're designed to be ridden standing up. An electric trail bike would be fine for farm use. I don't know if anybody makes them.

Anyone got one? What makes are available? See yamaha are bringing one out.

Thought they might be good for checking stock during the summer. Nice and quiet.

Not really talking about an electric bicycle.
TBH, I very nearly bought a fat bike ebike last winter, but they were in very short supply, then rocketed in price! I decided to wait for the 2nd hand bikes to come on the market.

I could forgive the looks, but my test made me think it was designed for someone smaller than me and not used to powered 2 wheelers.

Spoke to dealer and they said there was a software update in the pipeline to allow bias to be swapped to the rear wheel. Found it felt strange for the front wheel to slip and bounce while under power on rougher ground/tracks. Otherwise, thought it was a handy tool.

Problem with the electric trail bikes is that there's nothing to take a rack to carry a couple of reels and some pigtails.

The UBCO at least has that one cracked...

I had one in mind for Herself, but she has fallen for the baby compact tractor now... Makes me chuckle as she pootles around checking the ewes or on ambulance duty :)

One of "Her" fat old lardy ewes... brought home, as we have a fox taking newborns if the ewe, is slow :mad:
