I found several ebikes on the side of the road tragically waiting for someone to rescue them from a flat. It appears that most ebikers lack the tooling, spares, physical capacity and or the expertise to repair a flat or anything short of bar wrap repair. We often try to help but roadies only carry the bare necessities and they need serious tools. I suggest carrying a AAA card or the number of a friendly wrecker if you venture far from the house and ensure your phone is fully charged. Seriously what would you do if you were stranded on the GAP trail between towns? Abandon your bike and walk out? I like the thought of ebikes but beginning to think they have serious limitations or its a growing opportunity for some enterprising kid.
