How did you find your hotels along the way? Did you just stop wherever you found a place to stay? Are there many on that road? I'll be driving from oaxaca to san cristobal and I struggle to chose a place to stay in between the two cities to cut the travel in 2 days.

Was about to say there is no way it was actually that hot, and I googled it. Says it hit 52c, when you where riding. Highest ever recorded temp in Mexico. Testament to the Garmin's heat sensor, and ability to keep running in the hottest temps.

Gonna be looking for the coffee time sign, and plan on stopping at Pete's ranch when I get to Mexico!

down side of ebikes is they don't handle well at low speeds unless you have the assist way up, then your sucking the battery. For me climbing a hill fully loaded at under 8 mph is sketchy in eco mode, or even tour mode if the grad is over 10 percent.

I'm planning on doing the whole of Mexico and South America, on a Bosch powered Diamond back. I can get 72 miles on 1 500wh battery fully loaded. I got 2 batteries. I plan on hauling a trailer, 6 panniers, and my cat! Little much for my 520 to handle, and honestly and ebike just gives you more options. I train on my regular bike because building climbing muscles is just easier on a regular bike. Handling a heavy ebike at 4 mph fully loaded is a lot harder than a regular bike, you'll blow you're knees out trying. I did lose 70lbs last year riding only me ebike though!

Awesome video. I'm jealous! It would be really helpful if you talk about any forms that need to be filled out to go from US to Mexico and just the whole ritual. And talk about the daily cost of biking in Mexico, like food, room or any cost that one can face on such a trip. Do you use US dollar or did you stop at a bank and changed to pesos? If so, talk about the exchange rates. Talk about any dangers, if any. Things like that. I really want to do a bike trip like this.

I'm curious about two things. First, how much did it cost you to get your Chin stitched up in Mexico? Last year a dog bit my finger and caused a one inch cut. The medical center I went to here in U.S. charged me almost five thousand dollars for five stitches. Thankfully no bones were broken. My second question to you is U.S. uses 120v and Mexico uses 127v electricity. Do you plug in your ebike's battery charger strait into an outlet in Mexico or do you need an adapter? Thanks.

I envy people like you who take on challenging and dangerous adventures. Looks like a lot of fun. I have a very hard time fully trusting man-made devices. Electric bikes are much heavier than manual bikes, mainly because of the battery, motor, and controller. If any of these devices fail while you're miles and miles away from the closest village, then what? You are going to have to push that heavy ebike through very rough terrains. That, for me, takes all the fun out of the trip. I'm 68, if I go on an adventure like this, I'll ride a light-weight manual bike with as little of cargo as possible. I take my hat off to you for the challenge you put yourself through. Be safe.

did you carry a extra Battery?

So glad I found your channel there is not many ebike touring videos. I have been considering the same trip down the Baja on my Reise and Muller ebike so I'm watching your series trying glean as much info as possible Good luck on your continued journey and I look forward to more of your videos

Nice video of your ebike tour. We met you in Loreto, you were talking to Frank Zane I believe. He was riding a bike Friday. We are a couple that rode to Loreto on Trikes from Mexicali. Good luck to you and nice having a chat with you in Loreto.

Interesting vid - as a matter of interest how do you charge your battery while on the tour? Thanks 👍👍

This is epic! I ebike 40+ miles a week on my Ride1up LMTD ebike, 3000 miles in 1.5 years. I didn't watch the whole video, but are you carrying multiple batteries? Most only last 20-40 miles depending on PAS setting. El Cajon is in San Diego, where I live.

Took it on the chin like a champ. Glad you had the 1st aid kit. Loved watching this

Glad you received medical treatment for you're chin...keep biking strong!

Awesome video

Loved the footage

Great video

That beach/boardwalk looked awesome and so few people! 🚴‍♀️👍

GOD!! BLESS YOU!!! ON YOIR ROAD

CUANTOS KILOMETROS RECORES CON UNA CARGA DE LA BATERIA?

I’m enjoying following along! Thanks for sharing.

I Biked to my doctor 5 miles away and on way back was super windy, got a flat was a bit frustrated can't imagine being gone further but i wish i could

Loving the videos! Keep it up.

Seems like one of the best parts of the adventure is exploring the culture through food. Im super jealous of it

Getting fat from home wherever that is lol. Must feel nice , frustrating but nice .. will you be riding back home or ?

What an adventure Jim! So great to see you enjoying life your way. My favourite part was seeing Connie’s family ranch! Can’t wait to see more ❤️

My pleasure. 😊

I carry everything necessary to fix the bike when needed.

This is awesome! Very excited to watch more

How did you get your tire fixed?

What a journey. Those mountain views were incredible

fun times. thanks for videos and taking us along. cheers

Wow that landscape after you fixed your bike ❤

I was walking my Ebike up a path today using the throttle slightly thought it was on #1 but it was in three and turned the throttle too much . Damn thing flew out of my grasp and crashed. I miss my regular bike but I'm not that strong anymore LoL

How do you ride comfortably on Ebike? They don't have rear suspension. At least mine is hard on my butt and back. I enjoy getting out but the bikes suck

Damn, you took those stitches like a champ! I hope you healed well. Creds to you for going on this amazing journey!

This is awesome!! Amazing work; love the scenery

Amazing video, everything was super well done! The whales were also super cool.

Hi Jim, I really love this video. Thank you for taking me on an adventure. The music and scenery are awesome. Well done!

What an adventure! Hopefully you get better after getting stitched back up. By the way, I also really like PB and J on tortillas, haven't tried it with cranberries though.

Wow, awesome video! Good on you for not giving up! Can't wait for you to continue this journey.

Loved ❤ it!
