Hi everyone!
My wife, and I are in our early 60's and are planning towards retirement and travelling in a motorhome. Hopefully. We want to get back into biking with ebikes. And want to have been riding and, getting bike fit and gaining our confidence before we buy our motorhome.

A nice idea so far for traveling. I'm sure that you will enjoy yourself a lot with your wife. Because both of you will ride an e-bike. All the best for your journey!

Electric tandem is the way to go ... not sure how it will fit with motorhome though ...

Can you please give me an idea about the price?
We already had a Viking tandem. Fairly basic but works pretty well. That was about £500 new. Similar come up on ebay for around £200. eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144643437639?hash=item21ad6bb447:g:2cQAAOSw1pdizYjF

We then converted with a Woosh XF07 front wheel kit for around another £500.

I'd go for a more powerful motor if possible, there weren't any suitable ones available at the time with 700c wheel. It helps a lot on hills, but still leaves a lot to us. We are 76 and 69, and have been riding tandems for 30 years or so. Main problem with the Viking for me now is getting over the crossbar.
