My pickup is doing a lot of sitting. Maybe look for a watermelon that will fit today.

What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

To answer the OP, I take my ebike on logging roads all the time here on the Olympic Peninsula and even rougher places like abandoned forest roads and singletrack. I have a JuicedBikes RipCurrent S (new version) and it's awesome. I've beat it up pretty good and it hasn't had any problems. The 4" tires give a smooth ride, and the 1000 Wh battery is a beast. I did recently buy a cheap fat bike for the roughest exploring, because the ebike is around 75 pounds and is hard to carry when you get in the really rough stuff where I like to go. But for most people, a RipCurrent S or similar ebike will be an awesome forest road explorer.

E-Bikes Are Convenient. They Can Also Cause Fatal Fires. (NYT) Lithium-ion battery fires are happening more often. Here’s how to prevent them (CNN) Risk is still fairly low, but fires probably happen more than you think (over 200 just in New York last year), and the consequences can be high. I have a friend who recently suffered 2nd degree burns from an e-skateboard fire and only through quick action saved himself and his apartment building. I'm not trying to create panic, but if you're storing an ebike indoors it might be a good idea to at least spend a few minutes thinking about how to minimize risk.

London Fire Brigade has been tracking similar fires, by the dozen. They’ve noted in particular scooter initiated fires. Cheap units, cheaply made.
