Using E-bikes to hunt sheep

[Highlander Hunting]

Hey all, if any of you are curious about using e-bikes for hunting, there is a new episode of Highlander Hunting Podcast that we talk about exactly that. We used fat tire e-bikes to access our sheep hunting spot.
It's a game changer for certain areas here in Alberta where they're shutting down OHV access.

Hope you enjoy.

I think here in BC an e-bike is also not allowed in motor vehicle restricted areas. The electric motor is still a motor. I am not 100% sure about this though?

The pedal assist are not considered a MV bob as you still need to pedal the bike this has been beat up on here and other sites before. I believe Ourea has knowledge on this topic

I Think E bikes are considered offroad MV, in the regs.
I just was in the East koots a week back and the sign said horse back or on foot only.

motor is a motor.

Power assisted bikes are not considered motorized vehicles.

Looks like electric motors are ILLEGAL in BC in road closures. You could attach a kite to your mountain bike, tho'... lol They can be used where you can use an ATV or dirt bike.

Here is the definition from the REGS:

Motor Vehicle - means a device in, on or by which a person or thing is being or may be transported or drawn, and which is designed to be self propelled, and includes an ATV or snowmobile, but does not include a device designed to be moved by human, animal or wind power; a device designed to be used exclusively on stationary rails or stationary tracks; or a boat propelled by motorized power.

Huh ? It says does NOT include a device designed to be moved by human ...... an e- assist bike will just sit there if you don't pedal .

I've never seen an e-assist bike & don't really GAF. Maybe, you should put your money where your mouth is... Buy 1 of those ghey bikes, get busted by a CO riding into a MV closure, take it through court & set a precedent. ;

Places you can use them places you cant
Some closures say right on them No Bicycles. Some don’t
I use mine where I can. Never had a problem
CO didn’t say anything about it as where I was bicycles are allowed
