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...

also, if interested, here's the framesets we're using for the e-assist, my old Caletti CX and Tiara's Dean Ti 26er

our analog rigs for the baseline tests [and yes i ride a road bike on gravel roads]

@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...

@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...

@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...

@Gravelette we will attempt the full GDMBR next year. here's my strava https://www.strava.com/athletes/2075 and tiara's https://www.strava.com/athletes/28744926

@rruff we have 3 mini dachshunds + 1 coton de tular

@Ozarker we love our furry family members. We have been doing local dog/bikepacking trips with increasing distance and duration. Thanks for the comment

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...

@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...

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...

Our Adventure Vehicle Plan After extensive research, we've decided to shift our focus from a pickup and trailer setup to an Expedition Vehicle for full-time living. We'll also be building an eBike and PowerTrailer for local transportation, adventures, and accommodating our furry family members...

Thanks for the feedback @cmo5 . Positive endorsement And I meant the T class

thanks @Romer . your feedback is appreciated!

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...

@CrazyCanadiannomads , thanks. Will DM and checkout your IG. Would LOVE OWNERS perspectives, especially full-timers.

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.
