    Is e-Bike Trailer Living Feasible for Full-Time Adventuring?

    Subject: Single-Wheel Trailer Hitch Options After testing both the Burley Coho XC (single wheel, pivot hitch) and Burley D'Lite (double wheel, pivot hitch), I've noticed some trade-offs: Coho XC: Smooth ride on and off-road, but the pivot hitch negatively affects bike handling. D'Lite...

    Is e-Bike Trailer Living Feasible for Full-Time Adventuring?

    @Gravelette, thanks. We absolutely don't intend to rely on the electric motor constantly. We're currently training with analog bikes, pulling trailers with our 4 furry companions, to establish a baseline. As a more significant test, we'll be covering approximately 400 miles from the Bay Area to...

    Is e-Bike Trailer Living Feasible for Full-Time Adventuring?

    @rruff, we completely agree that the human element and the analog challenges are what make the GDMBR truly special. However, carrying our 4 furry friends is a significant factor to consider. The extra weight is particularly challenging on some of the Bay Area climbs. While not impossible, it's...

    Is e-Bike Trailer Living Feasible for Full-Time Adventuring?

    @Gravelette , we're in the same boat. We haven't seen anyone finish the GDMBR on an ebike. Additionally, many local mechanics warn that OEM ebikes often struggle to go 500 miles without issues, let alone 2,700 in 27 days. We're pushing the boundaries of what's possible with ideas that could make...

    Is e-Bike Trailer Living Feasible for Full-Time Adventuring?

    hi @rruff , we really want to ride GDMBR with our furry family members. We would prefer doing it with our existing 26er and CX bikes pulling them with the Burley Coho and BOB trailers we have...but the extra 50lbs+ makes it doubtful. So we believe there has to be a possible solution. At this...

    Is e-Bike Trailer Living Feasible for Full-Time Adventuring?

    @Trail Talk these are some great questions you raised: Power Concerns: We're exploring solutions for extended e-bike/trailer range, including battery storage, solar power generation, alternative charging methods, fully active suspension, and motor assist options. We're also developing a concept...

    Is e-Bike Trailer Living Feasible for Full-Time Adventuring?

    We see some pretty cool mini camper trailer for 1) e-Bike [], cool, but see flimsy for adventuring offroad? 2) Motorcycle [like https://roadwarriorcampers.com.au/, https://ushioutdoors.com/ushi-trailer-chuck/], rock! but maybe heavy w/o in-wheel trailer motors? 3) DIY [like and ], which is our...

    We're considering a KK Series 7. Its hard to find owners reviews... for those that own KKs what are the things you love about them + what are the things that you hate or wish were improved? Thank you all in advance.

    Thanks for the heads-up about the Tundra recall, @Markal. We're aware of the issue and have heard speculation about potential recalls for 2022-23 iForce Max models, as they share a similar engine with the affected gas models. There’s also talk of 2024 models being a production fix that led to...

    Thanks @ExpoMike . KK does seem quite durable . Good luck on your quest for the right camper too. The Kube is really cool; but a bit small for our full timer + business use.
