I was out bending the peddles the other evening when another cyclist appeared from a converging path alongside. I was state of the art air sprung light weight aluminium he was well oldish looking riding in a sit up and beg position with panniers in the back and peddling at a lower cadence. On the next hill I struggled and was left for dead despite 27 gears. I did however identify his bike and have discovered it was an electric assist bike which left me both puzzled and amused.
In order not to be abused by purists in should state that I have no intention of ever riding an electric bike - at his time but just in case a few questions:
Anyone done Santiago on an electric assisted bike?
Anyone know the longest recorded journey on one?
What sort of maintenance issues are there?
Do they need a service every ten miles?
I think I could sort the charging using solar but not looked at it in detail.
What about spares?
Are there any universal brands?
Its only a wild idea but you never know.

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
