I am once again exploring what is available out there in e touring bikes or what may be just over the horizon. I built a e touring bike in 2016 because there was nothing even close to what I needed on the shelf. Things appear to be getting much closer and adding to the stable rather than build...

I am having too many negative thoughts about taking my E Fatbike aboard my boat. All I envision is pain-in-the-ars solutions and theft. For one, I have never let my E bike out of my sight, such as at a store. This bike would suddenly be my primary transportation and out of my sight when doing...

I am under contract to buy a Hatteras 42 LRC trawler and the survey went pretty well so I will buy her. The thread title just makes it feel a bit more down to earth as there is a lot of work involved because the boat has had very little use for some time. The bikes will be aboard for our...

I have not had my trawler in the water for 11 years. My nephew and his wife are going to captain the boat through the canal, and I am going to ride. I need to average about 6 mph. That is about what the boat will do when taking bridges and locks into consideration. I will not have to carry...

I'm excited. I just ordered a new tent from REI. I am replacing a tent that I got as a gift 44 years ago. Promised myself that I would buy a new tent when I had gotten over putting the f----ing word in front of the word "tent" every time I referred to a tent. This tent is a two-person tent...

I have been surfing longer distance bicycle touring journals and diaries of different trips that might be of interest to me on Crazyguyonabike.com and ebikes.topicwise.com I find them cheap entertainment and have hoped something good would rub off. I am most interested in long distance dirt...

Today I built a bike for a friend. The donner bike is a 2021 Giant LIV with 30 miles on it. Delivery on the bike was Thursday and I said I would build it today. She wanted it to keep up with her husband on road rides through Amish country. She is the youngest rider in our Mon-Wens-Fri...

Long Range is a very subjective title, so I will try to nail that down first. Long Range on an e bike, for me, is having a bike with the capability to go the distance that I want to go in a single day, complete the mission at speed that I have set for the day, not have to compromise much to...

Is there a downloadable app somewhere for an i phone to be able to access the forums while on a ride or does it have to be done from a mobile browser. I have been on forums for years but always from a PC. About time I did something different.

This forum is rather dead and there are only a handful of e bike touring journals out there. Most of these journals are short day credit card adventures. I sought answers to the challenge of e bike touring early on. There is little information out there so I decided to tackle the problems...

I have been setting up my bike for long distance remote off road touring and just could not fit everything onto my fat e bike so I ordered a fat wheel trailer from QuietKat. The advertised trailer bed was 14" X 24" and a rear pannier and top rack on the wheel. What I got was a trailer with a...
