Hi. I'm looking to return to some higher mileage cycling days and thinking about an e-bike so I came across your review of the Motus Grand Tour which I'm certainly interested in and I've also come across this video which is excellent. I cycled tours from teenage years into my Thirties with Youth Hostels and B&Bs as I didn't fancy carrying camping gear and I also wanted to cover quite a bit of distance so consecutive 100 mile days weren't unusual. I did Lands End - John O'Groats in 10 days at 1010 miles. I'm a bit more nervous about riding now as I don't have the fitness levels where I knew I could do pretty much anything in a day and now I have to worry about running out of steam somewhere which is why I'm thinking about the possible benefits of an e-bike. I'm looking to do up to 60 mile day rides now with a nice overnight stop then the return loop. I remember cycling up the A9 from Perth and getting absolutely soaked over the Pass of Drumochter. I sat in the laundromat at Kingussie with most of my clothes in the tumble dryer to get everything dry! I'm a fairly confident rider but I'm sure traffic is heavier and moves faster than it did years ago and the big issue is the state of the roads where the left hand edge can be really difficult to ride a bike along and you don't want to be way out in the traffic. Anyway, I'm going to enjoy a lot more of your videos, you talked a lot of sense in this one which I can relate to so Thank You and Safe and Happy riding.

thanks for the encouragement - I'd say one of the biggest ebike pluses is when your struggling up a long hill and have hit the point where you are going to have to get off and push and can instead turn up the assist and make it.
