- E-bikes can take you further so that you can discover new places. They are a wonderful way to experience our multi-day rides, such as the King Alfred's Way, West Kernow Way and Cantii Way. In this video, pro bike tester and route guidebook author Guy Kesteven takes you on a trip from King's Lynn to Sandringham as part of our Rebellion Way route in Norfolk.

Thanks so much for watching. Please subscribe to our channel, like this video and share it with your pedalling pals. Happy cycling!
Nice video- thanks!
😊 when writing your e-bike on a tour, of course with your charger it's a good idea to have a 10 ft extension cable also remember coffee shops restaurants. parks which usually have electrical supply. I also carry a reserve battery that can at least give me a 20-mile boost if necessary
Wow just found your page . So packed with information . Thank you . I need to check all this out . I am just starting to ride an E bike due to bad hips . But loving it .
I did the Rebellion Way on my Ribble endurance E bike, with a group of friends, I just put a pair Michelin Tour Ride tyres on and was good to go even on the tougher off road sections ridden with care. Stayed at hotels and no problems with charging. A great route for ebike touring.
Thanks for the tips mate!
Its worth noting low temperatures can cause a significant reduction in range as well
Sounds like you had a hard time with that group, me, just enjoying being out and about on my ebike
Additional tip: buy ccs/nacs to wall outlet adapter and find level1/2 EV chargers around if there aren’t many commercial buildings.
Nice video, thank you! I have a specialized tero 3, is this the same as yours? If so, where did you get the front bar bag from?
I think that I would have mudguards in preference to a battery and motor. I have bought an E- bike for the wife ( with mudguards ) but for me, a fit male, I'm only 65, so hundred mile plus rides with 10'000 feet of climbing are well within my ability, which would be long after any e- bike battery would be exhausted, then you would have to push a much heavier bike, battery and motor along, to get home ?
Unsure your understanding how e-bikes work, the battery wouldn’t become exhausted before you. You get to choose when and where to use your battery. If you’re in a flat area, a wind is behind you, etc. you can choose no assistance. And then just use the battery when you feel the need such as on a major hill. If you’re using the bike correctly the battery will give up at the same time you do, you’ll just get farther than if you didn’t have it.
Congratulations on being extremely fit for a 65 year old.
You can put still put mudguards on an eBike.
No offence mate, but “only 65”, yet you are pushing yourself harder than most people half your age.
I hope you also understand the risks of heart attacks in men over 50, especially when pushing their limits.
Can't see how an ebike takes you further as a battery will only last about 60 miles in eco mode, about 30 on full assist. On a non ebike you are doing over 100 miles a day.
You can pedal without power to save range on level path.
I used to average about 60 miles a day on my non e bike on tours, it's similar really with an e bike but with less effort, particularly as you get older.
@drill_fiend1097 you can pedal a much heavier bike, to save power ?
@sanatandharma4435 yes I am 65, still do century rides up Tan Hill etc. When I get old, I might think about one along with a zimmer frame ?
Most people don't ride 100 miles a day.
Cycling UK has sold out to the lazy squad. Leg and lung power only. Who is funding this ad and indeed them? These are motor bikes. End of. It is shameful that organisation such as Cycling UK is supposed to be advocating for and supporting traditional cycling has sold it's soul to big business who can make a lot of money from selling motorcycles to lazy people totally at odds with the aspirations, values and and achievements of leg and lung powered only cycling and cyclists. Disgusting. Glad i ceased being a member of their awful organisation about 15 years ago when they dumped on many experienced and seasoned contributors to the organisation resulting in many leaving after many years of sterling service.
