Having friends who sail I know how undependable time can be aboard a boat and so many more weather problems can develop in 3 weeks than in 12 to 15 hours. Even 3 weeks means all batteries must be recharged and at least 21 times 40 or 820 miles/ 1200 kilometers have been sacrificed in the...

Hi All, Some very interesting ideas. I would like to make the trip in less than a year, so yachting my way across is not an option, although I know people who have boats and are sailing around the world. I am trying to take a route that is somewhat near the equator, that gives me good moderate...

Hi All, Thanks for all the recommendations. I will look into each of them. I plan to do 40 miles per day (about 10 to 15 miles pedaling) and 25 to 30 miles on battery power (charging each night). I really want to use a manufactured e-bike as this would mean it would be great advertising for...

I am looking for an e-bike that would be appropriate for traveling around the world. I have been looking for about a year, but so far have not found a bike that I feel comfortable with for such a long and extensive trip.
