“No e-bikes allowed”

[DaveMatthews]

Wally;
You do not want to fool with any problems at this point in life do you?
1) Buy a top quality hitch mount lockable carrier and leave your ebike on it.
2) Buy a top quality powerful automobile inverter, have it installed professionally on your vehivle as required, so that you may charge your ebike battery as you drive.
Ride where allowed, perhaps on the road because you are lighted, licensed and helmeted, as you may enjoy without worry about theft of services or being trespassed or ticketed.
Ride On I am experienced with pushing the boundaries on land and sea, pay your way up front and avoid trouble.

I think OP is looking to ride the route, not drive.

Indeed. Rent a car here in MN. Toss my bike in. Drive over to Washington state. Drop car off. Ride home. I'm nothing hard-core. I see 100+ mi days are very doable without severe elevation. I'd be happy for 50 mi/d, even 75. Would hope to be home in 4-5 weeks. Even with a rest day per week.

Wishing you the best of luck, and a really cool trip.
Please do photograph and document it here, I'd be interested to see it!

Perhaps I missed what you are riding; Class 2? Are you doing a bunch of prep riding b4 your adventure? Having done several distance rides (in my younger days, analog not ebike) most people that suffered didn't have sufficient seat time b4 the ride (typically 500ish miles in 7 days with (1) 100 mile day on the flatest stretch of the route).

Have fun and be safe!

 

[Wallykl]

No. I'm not an experienced rider. I'm a newbie to ebikes. I've created a novice franken-ride that I'm taking out on the road this month. (I may have mentioned class 2 in re to EV charging stations).

I wouldnt charge an ebike battery in a hotel, or airbnb.
Im not extending my faith in the battery I just battered over miles if rough trails to all the families staying there.
We book places with parking close enough to put an extension out to a van , it would still be a fire, but they are diesel vans so it could be put out far more easily.
Likelyhood of it happening..miniscule.
Consequences if it did, absolutely catastrophic, not just for lives, but you in court and financially and mentally ruined if you ignored advice.
The issue here is the fundamental difference between most fires and lithium battery fires.
Your ebike battery will burn through every fire supressent method at 4000 degrees.
I can only imagine RC model enthusiasts conventions, hundreds of guests whacking 20 amps into Lipos on the hotel room desk .

Im a doom merchant, but I wont trust rechargeables until they cant sustain their own ignition , dont steam off highly poisonous and explosive gas and burn at paper temperatures.

you ever seen a good diesel fire? like a semi cooking off with 300 gals of fuel,not a pretty sight a big diesel fire takes a bit of effort to contain those kerosene airplane fires are hellish as well,we can thank the "maker" that out atmosphere isn't 30% oxygen as it once was.
