Electric Fat tire in the mountains?

[IdahoElk]

Anyone have any experience with an electric assist fat tire mountain bike in the backcountry?

Rode a Specialized Levo at a demo day, it was awesome. I don't think I would ever own one as the price is crazy and I wouldn't want a heavy bike like that. However if I had cash to burn and owned a bunch of bikes and wanted something to pull a trailer then I would consider it. Although, I would love to purchase one for my Dad so we could ride together and he could keep up.

Keep in mind that (I know Colorado and I think many other states?) consider this motorized travel so you are no better of than guys with a dirtbike. You cant ride them on single track trails that are for hiking/mountain biking/equestrian use they have to be used on trails with designated motorized use.
