Years ago, I read a book entitled “Wolf and Iron” by Gordon R. Dickson, that really got me to thinking about the value of an electric bike for a bug out. In the book, the main character was travelling from Michigan to Montana, following some terrible disaster that had forever changed the world as it was known. He had made it from Michigan to somewhere near Iowa riding that electric bike, for which he had a folding solar panel to charge it!
So, that was the main attraction to me, the fact that there wasn’t any fuel, the sun would charge the bike, the bike ran silently, no motor sounds to attack enemies, and small enough to be carried. Of course, as you might expect, he ended up meeting some bad folks, almost lost his life, rescued a captive tormented wolf, and escaped having to leave the electric bike behind.
Anyway, I’ve been on the look out for some good electric bikes that might be suitable for use as an electric bike for bug out. See what I found.
