I’ve just had the chance to try out Riese & Müller’s remarkable Load 60 Touring, a full suspension e-cargo bike, to make a similar trip to the UK’s Yorkshire Dales National Park.

My destination, the lovely Wood Nook Campsite, was some 45 miles from home and the massive 1,000Wh dual battery capacity of the Load 60 promised more than enough power on tap to get me there. [Read more…] about Comfortable Camping with an Electric Cargo Bike
