ebike for a heavy rider?
I'm 285 and want an ebike to cruise the campgrounds, trails and maybe a nearby town. Anybody out there think what they have can help me out or maybe know of a fellow camper has what may work for me...

I ride my Ebike all over the CG. I may ride it into town or to the ch area .
I ride my Ebike distances I could never ride a regular bike.
An Ebike flattens the hills and picks up the slack that a regular bike doesn't do.
It not about $$$ or longevity its about going from point A to B with ease. An Ebike takes you up the inclines in ways that a allow older riders to keep riding.
Some may call it cheating. But cheating is driving the car to town,
Ebikes allow one to enjoy the biking experience, while maintaining a comfortable pace and getting some exercise.
An Ebike makes biking enjoyable vs. challenging.
I get some enjoy the challenge and a more intense work out, However there are many that are beyond their days of being challenge by a bike and prefer an enjoyable ride.
I totally agree with this statement. Maybe some are thinking there is no exercise in the electric bikes but there is. Ours are pedal assist so they 'help' with the pedaling. We have taken them pretty much everywhere and have enjoyed so much more than we could have on a regular bike. We have ridden all the 50 miles of carriage roads in Acadia, Along the waterfront in NJ, the 35 miles or so in Chicago waterfront etc..which would have not been possible without them.
It really gets us out to see more than we normally would have.
