Can a folding e-bike go off road? I took one into the fall woods: leaf-covered trails, logs hiding under the leaves and a rocky creek, all on small wheels. It's not a mountain bike, and it handled better than I expected. Redtail eBikes carries folding e-bikes from several brands, and every one ships free to the lower 48.

Why the woods feel this good: in a 2022 study, 60 healthy older adults took a 15-minute walk outside once a week for eight weeks. The ones asked to look for awe on their walks reported more joy during them, and their everyday distress fell more over the eight weeks than the other group's. (Anxiety and depression scores didn't change in either group.) Where's your awe this week?

Before you ride a trail: off pavement the land manager decides where an e-bike may go; on the road, your state's vehicle code decides. Every state's line, with its statute: https://redtailebikes.com/blogs/journ...
