There is no such thing as a truly safe, reliable lithium battery yet. Even though Chargeride's may be particularly edgy ;).

Plus some extra weight, expense, and bulk to manage . Might be the only option if you are far from the grid though.

True, but the meal is more dangerous than the batteries in the long term. I have worked on an outdoor cafe table with a laptop plugged into an outdoor outlet and only bought coffee and tea.

Honestly I never tried. I don't think anyone would object, b/c there are usually empty outlets available at pavilions and such without locking covers which I know exist.

I don't think you will have an issue with any campground or cabin that has electricity at each site. Many don't have electricity at the site but have outdoor outlets in a common area you can use. The key seems to be that it must be outdoors. At many cities and tourist towns, motels prohibit...

I also live in rural PA, where the best/only riding is often the county roads whitch rarely have a shoulder even as wide as my handlebars. And of course, crumbling edges without even a painted line remaining. The pickups don't mind that, and the horse and buggy folks don't vote anyway. Both...

"With a fortune guaranteed to come true"

Well, it's not really infrastructure, but I switch my iv drip from coffee to beer around lunchtime, but use water only when riding.

You know how to investigate a planned route better than almost anyone on here, so investigate. But I probably wouldn't do it.

That area is still a challenge, even in a car.

Moving right along, I guess. Even a painted line involves a battle with car drivers and delivery trucks today.

The electric Montague was apparently a good bike for the time. Court did a positive review, but I never found one in any of the shops that carried the brand.

They used to refer to the parks around the south side of Cleveland as the "green necklace" and had no ebikes signs when ebikes were the hot new thing. I lived in both Canton and New Philadelphia OH for a long while decades ago, and attended Kent State. That's quite the ride .

Are you following the daily ride photos and maps here on EBR? Just in case that old times piece is paywalled, here ya go. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/05/travel/sussex-bicycle-portraits.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ZU8.UM4F.VBUiy7PEygVt&smid=url-share

They're expensive but not that expensive. Beware any that were once electrified, most of those are without functional batteries. I don't remember the common kit used but something proprietary in an out of business company was involved @PedalUma might remember. He lucked into a good buy for me...

Reports from Ohio, which once had a bad rep for ebikes , agree with that, including ebikes in the "green necklace " parks around Cleveland now. IDK if legal, but apparently so or not enforced.

What about putting an ice pack between battery and lock?
