    Few questions here:
    I’m looking at getting one for pig hunting in forestry.
    The spot where the pigs mostly are is 10k from the Ute. It’s about k up gentle incline, then 5k down into a valley. Trick is to ride the e bike down to bottom of valley, hunt all day on foot, then have it easy cruising back up the long hill. Doesn’t matter if battery is flat once I get to the top, cos it’s all downhill from there to the Ute.

    Question 1.
    Would the battery handle that? Or would I be left pushing my $$$$ bike up the hill?

    Question 2.
    Do they self charge by way of pedalling or rolling down hills?

    I look at the size of the batteries and compare them with my power tools, and can’t help but think an e bike would be flat within minutes.
