Truckers who E-Bike

Seen east on I-10 out of Tucson, AZ on Sunday. I never thought about it but an e-bike on the rig definitely expands the range of places you can get to once parked in denser places.
Anyone else hauling an e-bike for getting around town?

I’m getting an electric scooter personally…need a more convenient way to get to the lizards with a room

No. As soon as I park, I lay down and eat food. Go to sleep, wake up, no pre-trip, start driving. Rinse and repeat. I only walk to fuel and go inside….
Just kidding!!! No bike, but I got resistance bands, adjustable kettlebell, dumbbell, and jump rope for when I can’t get to a planet fitness. Respect all those out there with bikes and ways to get out of the truck. I think that’s the key for me to survive OTR. When I’m not driving, I need to be active and outside the truck.

My dad always said once you stop moving it gets harder and harder to start moving again. Gotta stay active to keep the reaper away.

Used an e-scooter to get to my truck from my car and back until a ban on all bike/scooter/skates/skateboard use was banned on terminal property. That was the final straw for me to stay after tolerating a lot of bully with them - going elsewhere soon.

Immediately reminds me of this image.

I just ordered This one today. Not an E-Bike but I can say I will be putting it's 230lbs limits to the test.

I have a scooter. But more to run the husky every night. I have learned that, I cannot run 25mph for 15+ minutes unfortunately.

this is why i'll get a folding one and just throw it on the top bunk.
however, a big problem ya gotta watch out for at some truckstops is, they will tow a truck that they know isnt occupied. so you cant just hit the truckstop as normal, fuel up, get parked... and fuck off down the road on your ebike somewhere. or you can, as long as anyone problematic isnt really paying too close attention.

You can also just ask.

true but pointless, there are basically no truckstops that let you park your shit then be gone until whenever. its a truckstop, not a parking garage.
and dont get me wrong, i dont see what the big deal is, but hey.. its their property not ours
