ooh 3.12 - drone almost hit the tree?! enjoying your video, will get through them all this morning while off with covid..! i got sent a wayfarer to review too. looking forward to it!

I just won an ebay auction for this ship. Holy crap 😜 that box is huge

Amazing!! I'm off to NYC in Feb, this has me buzzing now! Thanks Matt! 👌

Wow! You certainly crammed a lot of activity into a few days. Glad that you had an excellent time. Lovely montage

Looks brilliant!!

Could you please breakdown all costs of your trip in a second video? Thanks in advance

Fun fact these were all filmed on the same day

Pity you had to bail but safety first better that than under a car when the brakes fail

Loving the trip so far mate well done 🚴🏼‍♂️👍🏻

Well done mate 🚴👍🏻

Have you considered doing this trip again using the Eskute Voyager Pro? The Pro has the Hydraulic brakes needed, mid mounted motor with a torque sensor, better larger capacity battery for better range and a Samsung brand. I also believe the tyres are better. The bike has a £1550 price point so not the 3K mentioned. Its the bike i am considering.

i forgot to say i did just add £5 to your charity and i hope you raise more so well done for getting me to part with my pennies

great end to a tough challenge and im sure it was the best review i saw about this particular bike and many people have a clear picture of how it would work for them. Hope you get the chance to try it again on another electric bike that makes the journey easier . I was looking at buying one of these but my journey has some hefty hills and im not looking for a workout as i already train 5 days a week so for now i will stick with the train or my motorbike but will be watching out for your next adventure

Take my hat off to you friend

You have my admiration for attempting the trip in the first place. In my early teens, nearly 60 years ago, and on a bike with 5 gears, I used to cycle between 60 and 100 miles on a sunday with the CTC. But not of course with the sort of load you were carrying. Several days recovery were needed! I now have a cheapish e bike but with hydraulic discs and would love to make longer trips. But the spare battery cost is about £350 and it weighs a lot, so each battery would have to work harder. I used to live in the Peak District and cycled thousands of miles there. If you had asked me, I could have told you what the sometimes horrendous hills are like, even on an ordinary bike. But I agree they would be no problem at all to even a mid range electric and you don't need to spend anything like £3000. I hope you try again, and please post it if you do.

Foliage is a huge issue. This year it is worse than I have ever seen it. On narrow roads if I have to stop for an oncoming vehicle, it is often in the stinging nettles. My sympathies. Not good. I haven't noticed on my e bike-a Carrera crossfire, that the battery is not performing well at lower charges, except when it gets to 10% when you can definitely feel loss of power. So not all e bikes are the same. Battery: I have a lower wattage battery at 417 than you but I can get 60 miles out of one charge by cycling always at the lowest assistance setting or, on the flat or downhill, with power switched off AND not pushing it but cycling as if you were on your ordinary bike.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I was gonna get one of these bikes but i doubt it now

Omg how🧐🤨😕 but I love it🤗😍

Donation made - hope you make it mate! (only watched part one but I live in hope).

Of course it's all up hill, you're going North. 😁

I just Ordered this bike thru Amazon. What I gather right now is at least 3 batteries and a second charger might have help, But that 180 euro per battery Ouch! And I am just starting to follow your trip. I am 70 and do not want to rely only on my peddling But really doubt I would try such a great trip at my age, or at least not try 100 miles per day. Thank you for this adventure.

how many miles do you get on one full charge? mine only does 20 max on flat

Where did you get the rack from?

Really enjoyed those videos of your challenge. You really gave it a decent go. Obviously not the right bike for that sort of terrain. You did incredibly well considering the weight you carried and the limitations of the bike. Our Cube reaction E-mountain bikes cost around the £2000 mark each and would have eaten up those rocky bridleways. Bosch mid drive motor, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes but also 2.6 inch wide tyres to absorb those rocks. Batteries are bigger also at 500wh and charge in about 4 hours. Hopefully an e-mountain bike manufacturer will see your videos and sponsor a 2nd attempt on a more capable bike 👍🏼 Keep up the good work. Very inspirational.

Sorry to hear you couldn't complete the journey but it was an interesting challenge to take on and I hope you give it another go sometime. You defo did the right thing though. I really enjoy riding my Eskute (Voyager) but the brakes are definitely the weak point. Can I ask, where did you carry the spare battery - did it fit ok on the pannier rack? Cheers 👍

im fitting hydraulic breaks to mine. sorry to hear you didn't complete it.

Eskute has shameful customer service, please please I beg you 🙏🏽 avoid them. They will take your order and then will say they car give you a date on when you will get the bike

Great effort, Matt. Can't blame you for stopping given your braking issues. Hydraulic brakes would clearly be a worthy upgrade for the bike if big hills feature in your local riding. It would still work out as good value overall I reckon. Random question, did you suffer any punctures on your route? That's my biggest concern given the extra complexities of rear hub motor wheel!! Well done again, I'll keep following your ventures.

Sorry to hear you couldn't finish the full trip, but the right decision non-the less. Just your little issue with the breaks you mention at 5 mins in being hydraulic powered. I would recommend a Tern GSD with the two battery option for a larger trip like this. Comfy with a large range on the power. Comfortably 130 miles between the two. If you were ever to attempt this again, maybe a local dealer would lend you one for the duration of the trip in exchange for some promotion?

Why do you think you had the brakes issue? Do you think this will occur on all Eskutes? And how easy would it be to fix permanently and how much would it cost roughly?

Really enjoying your journey, warts and all, appreciate your honesty in challenges you encountered. Particularly interested as I ordered an Eskute bike in June - the Voyager mountain bike initially but changed to your Wayfarer road bike due to the MTB being thoroughly out of stock!! Still waiting for delivery but excited for my first electric bike experience. Do you find the Wayfarer easy to ride without powered assistance, or is it a bit of a slog due to the weight? This may be a reason for me to purchase a second battery, we'll see!! Keep going Matt, all for a good cause, I'll make a donation. Thanks, Rich.

Please please do not buy from Eskute. They took my money for a bike and I still have not got it, its been almost 1 month. They make silly excuses for the reason of the delays and keep messing me around. Save yourself so much hassle and AVOID!!

Keep up the great work 🤛🏼

Good job for keeping it up. Doing 30 continuous days is a tough start. It sounds like you'd really benefit from parkrun (free weekly timed event), returns in July in Scotland. Running with people can help, the community is so nice, and you can race yourself each week. It's family friendly for the kids as well. It's been a gateway to running for many in my club!

Kampret

good!

I just finished my 100 day push up challenge and got great results. Keep it up!

Would you recommend it? looks like a good mix bikes, great video

Very creative movie! Looks brilliant 👍🏻

Great views. Great footage.
