There’s already a long history of bike touring and bike camping. The US has a national Bike Route network for this. Adventure Cycling Association has route maps.
I went on a 270 mile bike trip with my family when my kids were 5 and 8.
With the Warm Showers network, bike tourists can get free housing.
And now apparently you can buy a solar powered trailer to tow behind an e-bike if you wish and can afford that.
Yo if your solar was enough to charge the bike consistantly this would be a great solution for differently abled people everywhere. Im ready for the ebike rv fad
I wanna see a future where middle-aged guys go buy ebike RVs to go fishing and camping up next to a lake rather than bus-sized RVs.
They help, but even in full sun with a decently-sized panel on a trailer you'll still only be slowing the battery drain. If your trip is long, sunny, and has no access to the grid, then they can make a lot of sense, but if you have any grid access at all, a second battery is usually a better choice.
