Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Excellent photography, well done. Never considered it could be done by eBike - game changer for many I’m sure. Doing “the Camino” is higher up my bucket list now! You are an inspiration- thanks for sharing this epic journey.

Well done Paul. Your video will be helpful for my upcoming trip in spring 2024. Been training now for over a year as I will be taking on the "French Way" and using a bike. Thanks.

Excellent! My best friend is there now! Buen Camino - Camino translates directly as a walk or path means good journey. You have it right. Happy travels!

Paul, I loved the video. Unlike many others who were deeply introspecting and philosophical, you were simply having FUN. You should see your face when you were cycling through these surreal sceneries that looked like a damn computer screensaver, you were smiling like a child 😊 You even captivated the nuns in that church! You didn't need the Camino to find anything you lost, you WERE the Camino 😁 Congrats, mate.

Nice video, the E-bike looks like a great option if you want to finish and only have a short time, but personally I'd rather walk a small part for two weeks, you meet so many more people when you're walking, it's the communal part of the Camino that helps make so many new friendships, they just doesn't happen when you're on a bike flying past everyone . . Buen Camino perigrino .

Thank you, great video, I've just returned from León to Santiago and did it on bike, not Ebike and I can attest to the fact that the climbs and varying surfaces were in fact brutal. However, I decided to go back in the spring and do another section, Buen Camino. 🙌

Great video! I'm going back for my second time on a bike. The first time it was not an e-bike, and you know how tough that was. This time, we are on e-bikes, me and some friends. My question was whether your battery was removable because ours isn't. 😅 I'm wondering if it's going to be challenging to charge them.

@paul-akers 3 ай бұрын

Yes, the battery pops out and what I did is, I would stop at coffee shops and the restaurants all along the way every 2 to 3 hours sometimes every hour and a half and I would answer emails work on projects with the battery charge for an hour and a half and then continue on it worked out really really well and I love the bikes I’ve been twice and I’m gonna go back a third time but I am selling both bikes for half the price I spent on them if you’re interested in buying them Let me know they’re in perfect condition and they’re the best you can get

Awesome video Paul! Did you know where you were sleeping each night? Did you make reservations or just look for a place at the end of each day? My fear would be I"m tired at day's end but no room at the inn :)

@paul-akers 3 ай бұрын

I had a lock, but basically every night when you stay in the hotel, you can bring your bike inside the room. It was never a problem. I still have the bikes and I’m willing to sell them for half the price I bought only two grand for both of them I have a 4000 and in perfect condition.

Did you have trouble finding places to charge your bike?

@craigkimble1467 10 ай бұрын

Also, what app did you use for navigation besides Google Maps? Did you like it?? While I tried to do quite a bit on the actual Trail, there were times I took the diversions and got lost a couple of times it was challenging to navigate, many times I felt like I was the only one on the route that I had chosen I didn't see Walker's, and I didn't see cyclists 😂

how many kilometres were you doing on average on the mountain bike, ive been looking at purchasing that model to do pretty much the same

You can contact me and you can rent my bikes or buy them from me. They’re phenomenal. I’m using again this weekend and you will love it. I average between 50 and 100 km a day. You can get me on WhatsApp at +1-360-941-3748.

I bought the bike and I left it in Spain . You can ship them all over Spain with the Postal Service for only $50. It’s very convenient.

How often did you have to charge? And how did you charge?

@paul-akers Жыл бұрын

I charged every night and during the day I would go about 2 to 3 hours, then stop at a coffee shop or restaurant and charge for two hours and then continue on and sometimes I would charge for one more hour depending about how much further I need to go by just stopping at a coffee shop or restaurant and having a salad and working on my computer. It was very convenient and it worked very well.

Thanks for the video, did you just ask the cafe owner to charge? did they mind? Did you pay them? Any falt tires?@@paul-akers
