Title: Yellowstone National Park
Post by: Too little too late on July 10, 2021, 12:11:03 AM

Taking the RV to Yellowstone, and thinking of putting the 14.4 S on the back. Don't know if it will make it around either of the loops. The upper being 142 miles and the lower 96 miles. Two riders one bike 45 MPH or less, no fast chargers, maybe an outlet along the way to plug in while we eat. (if necessary) Anybody done this ride or something similar? We took the ICE bike to Lake Powell, Grand Canyon, and the arches and wish I had taken the Zero.

With 2 riders I'd be weary.

If want to make sure there's an outlet to plug into while you take a 2 hour lunch.

I have a dream/fantasy about loading my FXS into a travel van (smallest possible that would fit the bike) and going to various national parks to enjoy the scenery in electric silence.   Probably never going to happen and an FXS doesn't have a great range but it would certainly be fun if it did.  I figure a rear ramp handicap minivan would be the ultimate vehicle for this type of trip.

Yeah, this. Make friends at the bar someone who would be willing to bring you and your passenger and the bike up to the top of one of the loops, then ride it back to where there is electricity and take measurements of Wh usage?
