The Best Activities to Do With Your Off-Road Electric Bike - GOTRAX

When it comes to exploring the outdoors, few rides handle the off-road quite as well as an all-terrain electric bike. With spring in full swing and summer on the way, there are a number of ways to take advantage of the fairer weather and enjoy your time outside. Today, we want to highlight some of the awesome things you can do and places you can go on an off-road capable eBike.

Camping

Part of the joy of camping is escaping from the hustle and bustle of urban life, and these kinds of experiences are best had in places where cars can’t go. An eBike, however, has no problem traveling deeper into the wilderness, letting you reach the best and most scenic spots without needing to haul all of your camping gear by foot. Many eBikes either come with additional storage or the capability to attach additional storage racks, helping you carry more than you could have otherwise. A fat tire eBike is especially helpful, as their tires are designed to help better absorb the shock of unpaved and uneven terrain. Even if you need to drive part of the way to your campsite, an eBike is still a fantastic addition to your camping trips; a fat tire folding eBike like the F3 fits easily into the trunk of a car alongside your other camping gear, then carries you comfortably the rest of the way to your destination thanks to its fat tires.

Fishing

eBikes are also great for finding hidden fishing spots that lay far off the beaten path. While hauling your fishing gear on foot is doable, on rocky and treacherous off-road trails, it may be exhausting or even dangerous. An off-road eBike can carry anything you may need for fishing of all kinds while helping you navigate tough terrain with ease. The Tundra, for example, uses its fat tires and adjustable front suspension to absorb the shock from bumps, roots, and other small obstacles in your path while supporting your pedaling efforts using its torque sensor. You can see the Tundra in action during Outdoor Chef Life’s video covering his mountain fly fishing adventure.

Mountain Biking

There are few pastimes as exhilarating as taking on mountain trails on a bike of any kind, and electric bikes only make this experience better. Alongside giving you the freedom to explore, an electric mountain bike, like the L1NE, helps you tackle the most challenging of paths and slopes by offering electric assistance to boost your pedaling efforts. Some of the most daunting hills become much more manageable with the help of a powerful motor, and options such as all-terrain tires, front suspension, and torque sensors help keep your rides smooth and easy, even on unpaved roads. For taking on some of the toughest trails without breaking a sweat, there are few options better than an eBike.

Exploring

More than anything, an eBike is great for exploring the great outdoors. There are few vehicles better suited to going off the beaten path: between fat or off-road tires, long ranges, pedal assist, and great suspension, many eBikes come equipped with a number of useful tools for taking the scenic route outdoors. An off-road ready fat tire eBike like the Alpine comes with the power and utility to bring your adventures anywhere you go, while electric mountain bikes like the D1RT and the Approach are designed to navigate all kinds of off-road trails with ease. No matter where or how you like to ride, there’s sure to be an eBike for you.

While they may seem unassuming at first glance, off-road electric bikes are capable of handling all of your outdoor adventuring needs. Wherever you choose to ride, remember to stay safe, follow the rules of the road, and always wear a helmet!
