I got to try out the moonlander and Pug SS while in Pemberton BC last year. I was really surprised how great they were since i am used to a bike with front suspension. The fat tires and low PSI allow those bikes to go places you wouldnt think. I talked to the owner of the bike shop and he said he road it 5 miles though 1-2 ft of snow on 5lbs and it was awesome. I would also add that when i rode it at 10-12lbs you could hardly hear the thing on gravel no crunching going on. Add to that the abilityto increase the PSI to 30 and the weight rating for that bike is awesome.
Great bikes dont run cheep

Interesting information on the drive unit... I couldnt find if it had regenerative charging like if you were going downhill coasting.... does it charge the pack some? Cool concept becoming more commone and likely to have a huge effect on the industry.

Motorized and mechanized equipment
Motorized and mechanized equipment are not allowed, including drones (see below), bicycles, carts, wagons, chainsaws, hang gliders and off-road vehicles and other wheeled vehicles. Landing aircraft, air dropping or picking up supplies, materials or people are prohibited.
Public use of drones (including quadcopters, model aircraft and other unmanned aerial systems) is increasing in popularity. However, drones are motorized equipment and are prohibited in wilderness. Please help us protect wilderness character by leaving your drone at home when you visit a congressionally designated wilderness area. Federal regulation 36 CFR 261 18a states that the following are prohibited in a National Forest Wilderness:(a) Possessing or using a motor vehicle, motorboat or motorized equipment except as authorized by Federal Law or regulation.(b) Possessing or using a hang glider or bicycle.(c) Landing of aircraft, or dropping or picking up of any material, supplies, or person by means of aircraft, including a helicopter.

300 win mag you're absolutely correct. Goes to show I don't visit wilderness areas. Here is what the forest service has on the interweb:
Motorized and mechanized equipment
Motorized and mechanized equipment are not allowed, including drones (see below), bicycles, carts, wagons, chainsaws, hang gliders and off-road vehicles and other wheeled vehicles. Landing aircraft, air dropping or picking up supplies, materials or people are prohibited.

In particular, drones are not legal [because] "However, drones are motorized equipment and are prohibited in wilderness." But bicycles are not legal because.....why? And carts/wagons? It's also interesting that back-country ski equipment is every bit as "mechanized" as a bicycle, and ski equipment is allowed but bicycles are not.

Fat bikes are cool. They were originally designed for use in the snow. Using one on trails or logging roads.... idiotic. Trust me, as a Dude who has raced mtb for years and is a lifetime bike rider, they are way more work/effort than your standard mtb. Looks cool. Completely ridiculous to use hunting. Unless you are hunting in deep snow.Yeah they're more work, but you can probably tube behind a motorboat with those tires. :chuckle:
