You must be kidding. The Bike-E is good for tooling around town, but
would you really consider it for a long tour ? Is this the bike you
rode cross-country ?

The bike rides like one of those electric tricycles used by retired
folks to get around. It's got upright handlebars, not underseat
steering as is on vogue in the kind of 'bents I would consider for
touring. I'm not sure if there's enought space to mount racks for
panniers.

Come on Martin, BE serious. :-) And what's with comparing a bike to a
souped up dinosaur burner anyway ?
