love them green breaks 🌳💨😊🚲

[@sanborns]

A really cool (or hot) adventure. Thanks for taking us along ...

[@Eric_Tennant]

You bet!

[@xmateinc]

All this good AZ lore!

[@kendallparish5611]

Just finished the Katy trail across MO. It's been very hot here in the 90's. Katy trail's got shade and every 10 to 15 miles there's a rest stop with water and toilets. Its dusty however - but no traffic. I had lots of battery no solar and kept speed down 12 to 15 and all went well.

😊 and you guys come across the sidewinder how cool you don't see them very often The way they boogie along is so wild and that burrito look damn good man for cooking outside on a little pan hell yeah dig it now you guys just got to learn to get up a little earlier The sun was up and cruising and then you come out of the tent nah get up before that sun comes up beautiful of course it's up to you You're the ones out there riding we're just joshin.

[@johnnyjrotten59]

Nice that you put KMS on the screen too!

[@Eric_Tennant]

Always!

[@waynekaczmarek946]

Thanks for putting that information on the bike Eric

[@Eric_Tennant]

No problem. Anytime. I've been working on the Amazon storefront a bit more. www.amazon.com/shop/erictennant The solar e-bike trailer is 26 items. Looking to add two more upgrade to the solar trailer. 1. Replacing the light switch with 2 better switches that are water resistant. One for back lights, and other for under lighting. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEZQuIn 2. A latch that has a spot for a lock (Security) s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dm97MZl Going to turn this comment into a post.

I just recognized jarrod d there when ya stopped for a green break lol 😶‍🌫️💨

[@ericmathis5]

Hey Eric I'm in Glendale and love your show I'm a homegrower and would love to donate some smoke for your green breaks.

[@tonyg1997]

your commentary is the best lmao

[@ciliciaann3504]

Thanks Eric. Great video, I enjoyed it very much! 😎👍

[@Eric_Tennant]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@j.k.7929]

Thanks for the Video. It must be some extrawork on an exhausting bike trip. Thanks. What cones to my mind watching your Video i often do trips with my "beloved" bike and camping gear myself and not feel lost at all but only because i do it in Germany and other euro countries where i have been before. Outside of that Zone f.e. USA i guess it would be totally different.

[@cha1rtech]

Saw that Google Maps routed you onto a dirt road north of Coolidge, I live in Phoenix and have biked to and from Tucson a few times since 2017, I like to get on Hwy 87 near Sun Lakes and stay on the I-10 access road to Tucson. Lots of familiar scenery there, great video!

[@parajared]

I like your style

[@Ro-Bucks]

Not too bad temperature for a ride, or a camp, well at the start I think? Flintstone rocks lol

[@dennisyoung4631]

At 33:00 - need some Anchovies!

[@marklovegrove7115]

Great video 🇬🇧☀️🍻👍👍🏁

[@Eric_Tennant]

Thanks 👍

[@kenastl]

Looks like a fun tour. I hope to do something like that.

[@waynekaczmarek946]

I am going to, I can't live in a bubble anymore

[@howardb.6205]

super cool

[@nht306]

Impressive!

[@StarEssences]

This is a good showing; I have a bafang mid drive and would like to do local touring (+/- 500 miles) beginning from Southern Nevada. Eric can share the results of a bafang mid motor on long distance e-bike touring.

[@leonardarola]

One of the nest adventures this year. Thanks for sharing.

[@Eric_Tennant]

Thanks Leo. My channel at this size is starting to feel like a job. This adventure was fun, and only started feeling like that when I got back to my desk. Think I need a other adventure. Now I just need a company to sponsor it.

[@leonardarola]

@@Eric_Tennant Or to start your own. Seen none offering solar panels/battery trailer around. The fact you can offer a (proved) way to extend range without major modifications to the bike system, is your foot at the door. Success Eric!

[@dennisyoung4631]

@20:40 - *Buzztail Sighted!*

[@jeffcalicott6878]

Hey Eric and Jarrod when did you do this video? I'm in Tucson

[@Eric_Tennant]

Was last month.

[@patrickstarnes2355]

Congratulations there are no limits 👍 I'm wondering if you're system is able to climb mountain roads 1 in 10 for 20kms for example?

[@Eric_Tennant]

Indeed easy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/npLPi2irZqlrj8U

[@H3DG3xC043]

Damn i wanna do this

[@TylerChristoher]

I know you put in a lot of work on that mountain bike trip bro, but by God I'm glad to see you do it with some electricity this time. As soon as I get money I'm buying me a good electric bike

[@Eric_Tennant]

100% recommend. The first ride you will feel like a kid again. Next thing you know your riding to the next city for fun.

[@dennisyoung4631]

You might try a *Trangia* frying pan, as it has a removable gripper. These come in regular Alumin(i)um, non-stick, Hard-anodized, and Duossal stainless lined. Two major sizes, -27 and -25. There might be others. The -27 is about 7 1/2 inches across, the -25 about an inch bigger. I have a near-complete -27 set, including regular and non-stick “fryers.”

[@waynekaczmarek946]

I believe we're working with the aspect of having no way to keep a pan on top of a 1 inch burn apparatus

[@waynekaczmarek946]

Thanks Dennis

[@OP8Mike]

Just discovered your channel.Awsome video bro. New Subscriber here.

[@Eric_Tennant]

Thanks for subbing

[@SeanIn60Secs]

This is insane, I live probably 2 miles from you and I ride our local bike paths every day on my E-bike thinking about how far I’d get with solar 😂

[@tonerduckpin]

The Arizona canal bike paths is pretty sketchy between metro center and central Ave. The puddles of water in the tunnels are sometimes not water. Just saying.

[@tomardans4258]

When you find good solar optimizer, why don’t you keep it in the trailer? 😅

[@Eric_Tennant]

Weight savings!

[@Islandcitymedia]

28:09 #wrong. A 29er is 700c with bigger tires. Much more common than 26"

[@deezynar]

What is a 'green break'?

[@tomardans4258]

Sweet Summer child… 🚬🍃

[@deezynar]

@@tomardans4258 Pot?

[@jbc6980]

Your preference for Pepsi has made me lose all faith in you as a human.

[@dennisyoung4631]

“Liquid Snurf” (Coke Zero) helps with nausea….

[@FSEVENMAN]

Yeah great video. Love your solar rig. near castles and coasters you gotta watch out for the crackheads in the tunnels😮 I don't know how particular you are about your tires but I have 2 new XR2 TEAM ISSUE TIRES 29x2.0 that I would love to donate. 😊 Go Bafang😁👍👍

[@Eric_Tennant]

That would rock my front is so old it can't do tubeless anymore. I will be out of town for the next week testing the 100w solar trailer up near Flagstaff. Think the 100w will fit on single track better then the 200w would.

[@FSEVENMAN]

@@Eric_Tennant Yes then contact me when you get back. You sure picked a great time to be in Flagstaff, Temps are going up🥵
