Love the posts on e-bikes. We bought ours before considering taking them camping... Each weighs 77 lbs (KBO Ranger)- so no bike rack on the back of the Lance. We live in Florida - but so enjoy riding around St Augustine, Fernandina Beach (Fort Clinch) and other areas (O'Leno/High Springs). With my wife's knee replacement, it has given us back some of our youthful fun.

Considerations - weight of the bike!! Not only are our bikes heavier than normal, but bulky. I'd go with a much lighter bike for life in the flat lands. I have made a ramp into our truck bed that works ok. My wife wouldn't want to do it tho... Range - ours has close to 60 miles - no problem testing/proving that out. Suspension - we added a shock absorber for our seats - fantastic for us both.

Happy camping and travels!
