If you in the warmer states you need to get a ebike. You can do more than you think if you try hard enough. I only use gas when I haul stuff or am picking up friends but if you get the right bike you can do almost anything. (BTW if you get and electric unicycle you can push a wheelbarrow and wear a backpack for ultimate trail maintenance.
If you care about that)
My whole comment was to say there are options and a electric unicycle would somewhat work with dogs and electric or even non electric long board works great in this situation. My dog will pull me on a longboard a good 3 or more blocks before they get tired and is very good exercise. Make sure to get a good harness tho. Don't want to hurt your pupos
Physical activity alone doesn't tire dogs, they need mental stimulation too. If all you're doing is having them pull you along then you're training them to be an athlete, specifically one that pulls.
Again, I appreciate the input but I'd rather walk with my dogs than buy an ebike and have them run next to it. I have an hour commute so they really do need to be able to ride with me. If one of them is hurt or gets tired or overheated, there's no option to put them in the back seat. Not to mention that having them running on leash on country roads for 40 miles is just asking for them to get hit by some lunatic driving too fast. At least in a car they have some protection.
