    My dear Sir, this is a stunning video. The fact that you are travelling around Kent, rather than the Himalayas or Kalahari is just so refreshing and interesting.
    I can't thank you enough for such a refreshing and entertaining contribution. The fact that you had stopped at a snack van within the first four miles, is British beyond parody 🤣

    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!

    Rockbros also do a good phone mount that's a bit more solid than the one you're using, like a vice with orange silicone grips.
    Paint some ACF-50 onto those terminals to help avoid corrosion.

    Phew what a trip. I have owned various e-bikes over the years and safe to say all the cheap models are not good for longer trips without a spare battery. They are usually just too hard to pedal off power and too heavy. The bigger the bike the heavier so more drain on the battery plus gear and uphills… Well done guys, beautiful countryside.
