Touring Tips for E-Bike Riders
✅ Plan your charging stops. Know where you can power up or bring a spare battery for long rides.
✅ Pack light. Use panniers or frame bags to balance weight.
✅ Wear layers. Weather can change fast—especially in mountain and coastal regions.
✅ Hydration is key. Even with pedal assist, you’re still working those legs!
✅ Ride a bike you trust. Touring requires range, comfort, and durability.
