    Do you ride with someone?

    You, my friend, have been cursed. The universe obviously doesn’t want you going anywhere. Make sure you have roadside assistance on that new truck.

    “No e-bikes allowed”

    I can think of a practical reason but it would be very uncommon. In many newer motels/hotels in tourist areas, they have EV charging stations in the guest parking lot and lockable outdoor 110v outlets ( why? No idea, maybe homeless people) on the outside walls of buildings, as well as...

    “No e-bikes allowed”

    Boom! :eek: and that's if you can find one that works. McDonalds, an empty outside outlet or a cafe is much easier to find.

    “No e-bikes allowed”

    Probably the way most EBR members would handle it, myself included. But I wouldn't even try to ride that kind of distance, even if the law was on my trail.

    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.

    “No e-bikes allowed”

    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.

    “No e-bikes allowed”

    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.

    “No e-bikes allowed”

    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...

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    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...

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

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

    What have you learned from your e-bike experiences?

    Yes (dtc) direct to consumer vs (lbs) local bike shop

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

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

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

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

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

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

    Montague folding full size....

    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.
