This group is interested in cross-country ebike touring with a purpose. Apart from the fun and challenge, the higher purpose of long-distance touring is to better put ebikes to the ultimate test and promote ebikes as a viable transportation option

On tour, participants will ride 3-5 hours in the morning, gather at a prearranged recharge site where the ebikes will be on display, then travel another 3-5 hours in the afternoon. The press and public will be invited to come and see the bikes during the mid-day rendezvous.

Support vehicles will accompany the riders to carry extra gear, parts, and provide communications, including internet. Participants will maintain daily blogs, upload pictures and performance data, and generally stay in touch with the world. While there is more than one country to cross, the first proposed challenge will be a transamerica tour.
