  • This video will show the “15-Days Epic E-bike Journey on the Camino De Santiago of Paul Akers."
    Hey there, in this video, I'm going to be talking about my recent travels. It was an amazing experience that started off with me speaking at a conference in India. From there, I was able to tick off a few things from my bucket list, which included visiting some of the most beautiful places in the world like the Taj Mahal, Istanbul, Sicily, and Malta.
    But that wasn't even the best part. The highlight of my trip was the Camino de Santiago journey which I completed on an E-bike. It was an epic journey that I will never forget. In the video, I'll be sharing some tips on how I was able to shoot the journey using just my phone and an app. You'll also get to see the beautiful scenery, architecture, and food that I encountered along the way.
    I'll also be reflecting on the weather, the people I met, and the unique experience of traveling across Spain on an E-bike. So sit back, relax, and let me take you on a journey you won't forget!

    Paul, I loved the video. Unlike many others who were deeply introspecting and philosophical, you were simply having FUN. You should see your face when you were cycling through these surreal sceneries that looked like a damn computer screensaver, you were smiling like a child 😊 You even captivated the nuns in that church! You didn't need the Camino to find anything you lost, you WERE the Camino 😁 Congrats, mate.

    Nice video, the E-bike looks like a great option if you want to finish and only have a short time, but personally I'd rather walk a small part for two weeks, you meet so many more people when you're walking, it's the communal part of the Camino that helps make so many new friendships, they just doesn't happen when you're on a bike flying past everyone . .
    Buen Camino perigrino .

    Thank you, great video, I've just returned from León to Santiago and did it on bike, not Ebike and I can attest to the fact that the climbs and varying surfaces were in fact brutal. However, I decided to go back in the spring and do another section, Buen Camino. 🙌

    Great video! I'm going back for my second time on a bike. The first time it was not an e-bike, and you know how tough that was. This time, we are on e-bikes, me and some friends. My question was whether your battery was removable because ours isn't. 😅 I'm wondering if it's going to be challenging to charge them.

    • @paul-akers
      @paul-akers  2 месяца назад

      Yes, the battery pops out and what I did is, I would stop at coffee shops and the restaurants all along the way every 2 to 3 hours sometimes every hour and a half and I would answer emails work on projects with the battery charge for an hour and a half and then continue on it worked out really really well and I love the bikes I’ve been twice and I’m gonna go back a third time but I am selling both bikes for half the price I spent on them if you’re interested in buying them Let me know they’re in perfect condition and they’re the best you can get

    Also, what app did you use for navigation besides Google Maps? Did you like it?? While I tried to do quite a bit on the actual Trail, there were times I took the diversions and got lost a couple of times it was challenging to navigate, many times I felt like I was the only one on the route that I had chosen I didn't see Walker's, and I didn't see cyclists 😂

      I had a lock, but basically every night when you stay in the hotel, you can bring your bike inside the room. It was never a problem. I still have the bikes and I’m willing to sell them for half the price I bought only two grand for both of them I have a 4000 and in perfect condition.

    • @paul-akers
      @paul-akers  11 месяцев назад +1

      I charged every night and during the day I would go about 2 to 3 hours, then stop at a coffee shop or restaurant and charge for two hours and then continue on and sometimes I would charge for one more hour depending about how much further I need to go by just stopping at a coffee shop or restaurant and having a salad and working on my computer. It was very convenient and it worked very well.
