Anyone using an e-bike to get to and from stands?

I’ve been wanting some quiet transport to get to stands. My F-150 or Honda rancher are both fairly quiet but I’d like to do better. I do a lot of walking too, but would like to cover more ground and be quIet doing it.

Any recommendations on e-bikes?
 
A factor to consider is how much equip you use at each stand. caller, tripod, rifle.. might take a little creative thinking to get that all on the bike.
 
I have a Quiet Kat bike I use for calling. It is great for the desert in Arizona, since I don't have to mess with fences too much and the terrain is user friendly for the bike. The only thing to consider is carrying gear. I use a slydog chair, that has a pouch for calling equipment and I sling my rifle. But carrying out coyotes is a problem, unless you can skin them first. It's very quiet and you can get back off the roads. Also, no scent trail.
 
A backpack works for gear. I built a front rack and attached a bag for caller, air pump, etc. made a pvc rifle scabbard and padded it to fit the rear rack which also holds shooting tripod. Built A trailer to haul coyotes out with. Will be getting started here before long as they are stripping cotton and cutting beans now. Like for the temp to drop into the lower 40s at night, it’s getting there.
 
Hey you all should check out Volcon's new electric fat tire motorcycle. Its called the grunt. has a 100 mile range. If i was going to go electric.. i would seriously be considering something like that.
 
Check out Sondors, I have had one for 3 years now and have had no problems until this morning and I broke the pedal assist sensor. I can still pedal and use the thumb throttle to duplicate the pedal assist until the new one arrives. I bought the original fat tire model.
They may not be the best or most powerful but I think the price is right and it has worked for me just fine.
