    I LOVE England! Such a beautiful country. I had the honour to visit England 3 times. And the cool weather most of the time is also very nice. Irma from the Netherlands

    Hi Andy! It's been great to meet you two on your way through the other day. I'm glad to find out you got there!! And happy to hear you've liked our place and thank you for mentioning us. Hopefully we'll attract more of your kind :) We'll be working on putting in a little bike charging area once our new wash house is finished to make things easier. Really great what you did there. Please come back one day!
    Have a lovely summer full of more fun adventures! All the best

    Great video as always Andy! I did an e bike trip last summer in Devon with a mate and a borrowed bike. To be perfectly honest I hated it. You're watching the battery level draining the whole time. Your whole day has to be planned around where and when you can recharge your bike. It just seems to be a lot of hassle compared to a regular bike which will never run out of power as long as you keep stopping at those sausage and bacon food vans to refuel!

    I bought a Jansno X50 because I was not sure about going to an ebike. It now has a trailer, led wheel lights, olites all over and with a spare battery fully charged, my 50 watt 1.8 ah solar panel on top of the trailer gives me another 20-30 miles depending on terrain on a full sun day
