zimcruiser Posted February 23, 2023 Share My wife and I are thinking of taking part in this years Sani2c, we are both on e-bikes (i have a pace maker) and are pretty sure we can do each day on 1 battery per day, (we have ridden 100k on eco mode and still have 40% remaining). Someone has suggested we hire batteries for just in case, if we were to do this does anybody know how we could get them to say the last water point on each day? Any insight much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted February 23, 2023 Share Maybe speak to the organisers. Both Trans Augrabies and Vines&Views offer this function to their ebike entries Zebra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimcruiser Posted February 26, 2023 Share I have a Trek Rail 9.8 and my wife has a 9.7. I am 90kgs vs 60kgs and the 9.8 has the bigger battery. This evens us out on wt vs range and we normally within 2 or 3% of each other by the time we draw down to say 20% of battery life. I am very strict on settings, i only ride on eco and my wife will stick in tour occasionally to keep up on long hills, otherwise she also on eco.

VERY nice bike 👍 Should have a very long range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
