I’m kidding. 2/3 of my bikes are E-bikes, and the only one I’m riding now is my Lectric Xpedition.
if I had to do it over again, I’d get a fat wheel bike that I can ride on the sand. I ride the Xpedition on gravelly stuff and very shallow sand, and it holds its own but it belongs on the streets. Deep sand? No bueno.
Hope that helps.
PS I live on the beach, so a sand-traveling bike would have made a lot of sense.
My first eBike was a heybike Ranger; a folding 4x20” eFatty. Even that wouldn’t do deep sand. It would do anything BUT deep sand though!
I think most people that live near a beach ride more on paths that happen to have sand on them and packed wet sand.
