Hi, am I in the right place?

[Barbara_Reed]

I'm not sure this is the right place for me. Ebike, yes, tick. But I tour, some of it (most of it) offroad but nothing technical. Should I be somewhere else, and if so, where?
Thanks for your time

Hi Barbara,

I dont think so! Off road and ebike.. sounds good to me. I created in the General EMTB forum a Womens chat.. so feel free to post your ride pics in there if you want!

There's also a big electric bike review forum as well... what bike do you have?

Stick around. We don't all career down hills at silly speeds. Even if you just admire the photos of bikes against stunning backdrops, it will be worth it.

Thanks, sparked. I've got a flyer upstreet 4, which is pretty much a hybrid, despite the name. Hardtail stepthrough with the Bosch performance line motor. I take camping gear so have just got a Coho trailer, means i can mount my solar panel on the top instead of waiting to arrive before getting the off-bike battery charged up. That way I should be able to wild camp three nights before looking for a mains supply. Not to mention a shower.
There's never enough sun to get a full charge with the amount of stuff one can carry, but I'm getting close to full autonomy.

That sounds super cool!!! As Voluptua said, not everyone is a dh racer!

That's great. Post up a picture of you rig if you get a chance.

 

[Barbara_Reed]

I will do that. Probably wait till it stops raining.

Yes you are! I'm a plodder on mild trails, don't get me wrong though, I like going downhill, just not as fast as some do.

Well, here is the bike and trailer. I was just off to the shops this afternoon so it's empty. Wearing the new bags on the back of the trailer just to see if the colour looked nice. Also it should help me keep the trailer nicely balanced. Vaude roll top bags on sale, just over half price so I couldn't resist them. They will hold all the bits that seem to become essential when I'm using the trailer, such as a spare tube for that 16 inch wheel. The front bags have all the bike tools and wet weather gear, also everything I need to make tea and coffee, and stay on all the time. Flyer and Coho in the sun
