Here is the solar charging kit for ebikes I showed in this video:

Mountain Bike is the most underrated prep. But an E-Bike is even better, but you will have to recharge it.

[@The_Crow_Flies]

I picked up an Ebike a couple months ago. I did it because i am physically disabled but still want to get in better shape and the pedal assist really helps me not over-do things and hurt myself. It works perfectly and i am really loving it.

A friend of mine recently bought an e-scooter. It refused to work, unless you downloaded a smartphone-app and registered with your personal data. I think, this will also be more and more the case with e-bikes (even if it may not be yet today). E-bikes and e-cars will soon be like digital currency: Someone else will decide, where they work and where they don't. For example, outside the 15-minutes-city. So, e-bikes are like CDBCs; ordinary pedal bikes are like cash or gold: They just work everywhere. Therefore: As they are like gold, value them as that!

E-bikes are extremely overpriced.

[@Island_Times]

I found the best Ebike's (for a prepper) are ones you convert yourself from a standard mountain bike (or BMX if smaller bike needed) . If you convert it yourself you can fix it yourself or easily put back to full manual operation .

[@eadlondon-nm2uy]

Over the last few years in the UK, e-bikes have started serious fires usually overnight while they were being charged. (I've not seen the video yet, Lilly probably covers this). EDIT: yes, she covers this.

[@chrism5086]

The quiet travel of an e-bike vs gas is often understated. If you have a grid down scenario, being able to travel without broadcasting your approach to potential hostiles is an advantage.

Let’s not forget if your battery dies we still have pedals.

I just bought an Ebike a couple months ago. For about thirty five years I mountain biked but because of knee, hips and shoulders it became too hard to ride distances that made if fun. With an Ebike I'm back to riding forty plus miles with pedal assist. It got me back on a bike. That's all that matters to me. Thanks, Lilly, for the solar charger link!

[@terrencedeagle4429]

Yes, they are. I spent more money on buying parts and batteries for the Ebike than I did the actual Ebike. I recommend a durable 21 speed bicycle.

1) Keep a Spare E-Bike Battery in the Dog Trailer.

[@Mikey196601]

I was buying living room furniture and the sales lady was telling me how her and her husband were going trail riding on their e-bikes , I told her be careful where you charge it because of fire potential

[@jackoneil3933]

Excellent Points Lilly, Spot on! Very much in agreement with on in regards to bikes. Over the last few years I've built several ebikes, build battery packs and for the last three years have put more miles on than my car, and I might offer a few suggestions and observations.

[@EB01]

A bicycle has some benefits over a car (same for e-bikes). If the roads that you want to travel are clogged with stationary (grid locked traffic or abandoned cars) you can fit in narrow gaps, pick up the bike and carry over obstacles.

[@amfearliathmor9747]

During a Famine situation, getting that 20Kg bag of potatoes home that is 15 miles away could prove to be very difficult if there was a supply chain collapse with no fuel distribution or electrical grid power. Not having the ability to get to areas to forage for food, where the effort spent in Kcal with a push bicycle versus the reward in Kcal may actually increase the rate of starvation. An eBike will give a limited radius of action, but is far better than none at all in the search for food.

[@NorbertNipken]

It's not just the truck for the raw materials that takes energy, it's the refining process that is very energy intensive.

[@Robert-ce5wp]

Keep your batteries in a metal lightly vented container. I also store oil or stained rags in a fire receptacle

[@greenleaf2904]

I have had an ebike for 4 years for transportation. I got a 1000 watt rear motor cruiser. I put a 1500 watt motor on the front. The rear motor has 3 battery packs wired in parallel and front has a lifpo4 50 amp battery. I go 60 miles before recharging. I have lots of hills, half of every trip is up hill. Stopped having to pedal no matter how big the hill.

[@joemachine4714]

I have a fat tire eBike and i love it! I got it for errands, appointments and recreation not bugout. It's saving me auto wear/tear and insurance risk. I haven't driven my car in a week!
