I am tired of walking anything under a mile or juggling rides for the longer trips. Thinking of an Ebike I can toss on the implement or hang on the tractor. Anybody do this?

I farm alone so I face the same problem.
Gets quite time consuming moving equipment.
A few years ago I loaded my bike on the sprayer so I could get back for the water trunk. Left it by the drive way into the field and went spraying. When I got back a couple hours later the bike was gone.
Since then my wife has retired from her town job and is quite helpful.

I know someone who uses an Ebike. Loads on sprayer trailer or air cart to take himself back to the yard. It works great. Light enough to load for transport, and fast (maybe too fast lol).
On the last point, joking aside, in our local town, some people have had bad crashes. Usually just a bike hemet is worn and not enough, not like a motorcycle helmet.

One thing to be careful of is most ebikes are using a stiffer tire at higher air pressure to get more distance on a battery charge, this makes some ebikes more “slippery” on gravel.

I use pedal assist e-bike for this exact purpose, this is my 3rd year using is. It’s a full suspension mountain bike, works really well. Pretty fast, cruise at 28-30 kph. At 30 kph the electric assist cuts out……some sort of regulation?
