Thread starter zokko Start date Sunday at PM. Feb 20, 5 2 Dublin. Hi all, As a retirement gift to myself, I'm planning my very first big bike tour on e-bike from Cherbourg to Bilbao in September My proposed route will be to cut across Normandy and Pays de la Loire to Angers and Saumur, and then either a head south and west to pick up Eurovelo-1 at La Rochelle, or b continue on to Tours to pick up Eurovelo-3, and then on to EV-1 at the other side of Bordeaux.
Then continuing on to the Spanish border at Hendaye and probably a coastal route to Bilbao. So, a few questions⦠1 Has anyone done any of these routes and if so, any general thoughts, preferences, etc.? If so what was your experience of camping with e-bikes in France? Or do campsites rent tents for a night including sheets, blankets, etc? Thanks very much in advance for your thoughts. Much appreciated.
Nov 26, 2, 1, I have found that effort-wise, it is easy to average 80 miles per day, provided you have enough battery capacity. That's using middle assist level on a bottom end Shimano mid-drive. It is also easy to burn through battery alarmingly fast by using higher levels too much. To minimise charging issues, ideally you need enough capacity to avoid a lunchtime charge.
