Do have a review of your experience and thoughts of the bikes?

Hi Markus, greatly inspired by you. I am visiting the UK, currently in Norwich. I have found myself a lovely single speed bike, and am looking to do a short biketouring trip. I have bare essentials, but no camping gear. Is there any route you think I would enjoy in particular? Thank you
@reizkultur9 күн бұрын
Ahhh, that is great. If not too late, I desigend a nice bikepacking route on tzhe Yorkshire Coast, Route YC, which is very varied. In Scotland, I would recommend the John Muir Way, and the route I designed in the Cairngorms, both have stunning scenery. If you want, check out the Bikepacking Scotland website for both routes? Happy travelling!

Great trip on great bikes! Did you mostly sleep in hotels and recharge your batteries every night? How many kilometers is the range fully packed with two batteries? I suppose that these heavy bikes are almost impossible to ride without electricity, aren't they?
@reizkultur13 күн бұрын
@@SD_Alias Yes, we stayed in accommodation due to the weather, but could have camped one night - full range with two batteries, packed & hilly is around 150km. And while not a lot of fun, you can ride without if needed, but it’s an effort (:

How is transporting the bike? What kind of rack would it take? Is it only a roof top option?

Transporting is pretty much like a standard bike. It fits in a box, and can also fit on trains - at least in Germany. The rack comes with the bike, I think there are different options, worth checking on the Hase website.

Splendid video. So many have been waiting and needing this! An offroad cargo ebike that can carry heavy weight for long distance is what all campers and outdoors enthusiasts have been waiting for. This opens up a whole new market for ebike manufacturers. The video we all really need and want to see next is its loaded capacity of 390 in its offroad environment. This is what we have been waiting for for so long. The performance of max load offroad is what this new market should be showing and improving on. 😊

Thanks for the tip, maybe I can include a short loop through the Moors.

I imagine the Cycle touring route is road related and the Adventure Route is more offroad?@@reizkultur

@@michaelgoegele985 Hi Michael, yes, they are different.

Cheers for the tip. We were thinking, to make it easier with trains, to get to Aviemore on the train and then hire bikes there, rather than bring them from London. It's an added expense but means less stress getting on trains and my partner gets to maybe try out an MTB rather than use her gravel bike, plus my new gravel bike probably still won't be ready by then :S Plus it's only a short trip so I'd be less worried about having a perfect bike fit and the like.
