Longest day has been 97 miles, most days are 40-60 miles. The best thing about the ebike though is the ability to keep speed going up hills and to go just a little bit faster so you don't have to ride as long. We are carrying significant amounts of gear and food to go on backpacking trips and it would be pretty exhausting to carry all that unassisted. So the solar panel just makes it so we can travel and camp even where it isn't possible to plug in to recharge. The solar has paid for itself already at this point compared to gasoline for a car ride this far. Everything for ebike upgrade kit and solar trailer together cost us under $1400, which is expensive compared to a bicycle, but cheap compared to a car. And if this holds up for the next 8000 miles the whole thing will pay for itself. Will definitely cut them down and clean them up when we get back to a place to do more work.
