From Denmark: Thx for sharing this wonderful trip. I am 80 years old and an avid long haul Triker (ICE Sprint FS + Ziflex Mono-wheel Trailer for carrying 65 Kg of camping gear). No EL Assist until now. Last year I completed a 2.886 Km Trip, which took me from Denmark cross over Sweden (Gothenburg-Stockholm) to Finland (Turku to Helsinki), Ferry back to Stockholm and following the East Coast of Sweden to Ystad with a ferry hop to the Island of Gotland (East Coast of Sweden) and further triking to Ystad (South of Sweden. Ferry to the Danish Island of Bornholm and after 2 weeks there ferry to Køge (East Coast of DK, 38 Km south of Copenhagen). Then Triking Ferrying through the Dabisk Islands of Falster-Loland-Langeland to the wonderful Island of Ærø (26 Km N-E of the German town of Lübeck). Then Triking back to Ebeltoft in Denmark. I was seeking info about EL Conversion Tips & Tricks and fell over your Video. Well done and very well filmed. All the best and safe biking journeys in the future. Consider visiting Scandinavia...🙏

That road wire, as you call it, is the bane of my existence. I ride to the Post Office, about a 1 1/2 miles one way, and I’m always picking the wires and glass slivers out of my tires. Sometimes I get them out before they puncture the tube.

We lived in phoenix for years but had family in idaho and we made that trip from az through nv to id all the time. The road used to go right past the dam and if there was a wreck, God help you. It once took me 5 hours to go 5 miles on that road because of road construction. It was backed up for miles. I could have walked it faster. So it was huge when they built the road that bypassed the dam altogether. I want to say it was 2010 ish. Now we live in oregon but we still travel to arizona because our children are there. That new road has cut an hour out of our travel time. So worth it.

Trick with keeping thorns, etc, out of your tires is 1) using a tire that’s resistant to flats, e.g. Schwalbe Pickup or Big Ben (using both here); fit tire liners, E.G. Mr. Tuffy; and 3) use an Old tube as a “tube liner.” This last helps keep the tire liner’s rough edges from cutting into the tube.

Great video that shows how difficult and dangerous the roads in AZ are for cycling and how Google Map routes take you on roads with heavy traffic! We have driven this route from Phoenix to Vegas with e-bikes on the bike rack of our SUV and have limited our riding to bike paths or low traffic streets with a bike lane so it was very interesting to see your experience! Appreciate the demonstration to show the idea of charging with solar. For comparison without a solar charging method to ride from Phx to Vegas I would carry two external extender batteries that plug into my Trek Dual Sport E-bike for an added cost of $1000 and additional 10 pounds of weight (5 lbs for each extender battery) and recharge at outlets in coffee shops/hotels etc. That would eliminate the need for a bike trailer. I weigh 100 lbs and my ebike weighs 40 lbs and with one extender battery plugged into my bike I can get 40-80 miles of range carrying 22 lbs of gear depending on surface (gravel vs pavement), incline (uphill vs flat) and assist level (sport-mode vs eco-mode).

Spent my Sunday morning watching this. That trailer is a product that every ebiker should want. I'll be riding today and taking plenty of green breaks. I don't have an ebike yet but my surron lbx passes for one. I'm thinking about doing a trip using a spare battery and small honda generator sometime soon. The lbx has a 2.5 hour charge time with a 60v battery and can charge while it runs so with 1100 watt honda and 10amp charge on my spare and a 5 amp charge I should be able to run both chargers including maintaining a 30mph speed. I want your setup over what I'm planning. It's all about the stealth camping for me. About those flats, take an old tube and wrap your old tube in it or check out those Kevlar tire liners. It'll sacrifice some range but still better than slime. You're living the dream.

Awesome trip man! Im building a bikepacking rig right now. Have a decent bike (quietKat jeep), a couple spare batteries and a foldable 150w solar charging station. Been doing "dry runs" on the bike. Started with a 20 mile ride, then 30 mile.. Doing 60 this week. Trying to gauge power consumption... and the ability of my hind end to handle miles lol. Now just need a trailer and lighter camping/ sleeping arrangements. Anyway, I was getting flats on my fat tire bike. They pick up debris. I installed Tannus Armor and man, it helped a lot! Not getting flats. Look into it if you haven't already.

Extremely good trailer design. 200w seems about right. Plenty of camping gear room, and you didn't even use bike's room for gear. Hinge and quick release is well done and a necessity. Single wheel is big for maneuverability and in theory should be less flat tires. Glad to see good wind performance. The big advantage compared to a "giant" bicycle camper is that ability to take shortcuts, and wiggle the trailer into a hotel room, and a low weight allows a good solar to weight ratio even if giant camper can have much more solar. Your trailer should be a commercial product. Do you have the trailer battery plugged into your bike battery without any concerns for voltage mismatch?

great video, but i think the trailer could use some improvements. At the very least, a way to angle the solar panel while you are riding would help with the charging. 2 vertical pieces of wood with slots cut into it to hold the solar panel at different angles would work, but i'm sure you could come up with something better. I don't think I could have made it through without a USB battery bank and a usb powered fan to blow on me in that hot weather. Maybe look into bicycle style campers for your next haul and you could end up being alot more comfortable and have more room for storage. Instead of just hauling a box on wheels, you could have a comfortable mini RV trailer with anything you could think of inside.

my goal would be something like a pedal car, a nice enclosed cabin to keep you out of the elements and provide a bit more protection. Think something like a super light box truck powered by bike pedals, but the box part is turned into a RV Camper. Velomobiles are also another cool thing to research if your into these long hauls on pedal power.

I have to admit my winter riding gear is way to dark for road riding. I just need to shop for a lighter colored riding jacket.

I live in Mesa ive wanted to setup a solar power to my dog trailer for my X24 so me and my dog Maximus can do some traveling and camping... how hard was it to set the solar power to the trailer and about how much time do you think the set up took and about how much it weighed 😂😂 9:00 I invested in green slime and some thicker 2 because of the goat heads and every other Bush and tree in Arizona

I’m a longtime truck driver 30+ years and 3,000,000 miles under my belt and I also do cycle touring when I take time off. I have an electric bike and I’ve been trying to figure out how I can keep it charged up with two 100 W panels and a unit from Jackery

Jackery is not the best way to do it; because from solar to Jackery is a DC/AC conversion with a 9% loss. Then Jackery to bike charger is a AC/DC conversion with 9% loss. I have a few video that show a better way of doing it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2nQqItteamBndU
