Mouthwatering! Had it in Trinidad on a missions trip about 10 years back.

Greetings from Germany.
Nice to hear you will be with us on this adventure. We are very behind in our journal, but are getting on it today. We both got some kind of bug, struggling with jet lag perhaps and have our tandem in a bike shop awaiting parts. The good thing is we are staying with friends in the beautiful Hessen countryside at their farm. Our poor tandem, Seavo, has been sitting at our friends’ farm for the past 5 years due to COVID and our travels in Japan. It is a delicate matter as we haven’t shared with him that we have acquired 2 trikes in his absence.
Take care neighbours.

Great you're headed back to Europe! I'll look forward to reading your journal as you go along after you leave Mexico! I'm headed to Switzerland this June - my first time biking there! :)

1 year agoHi Roland,
We leave our tandem in Germany with friends. For our first few trips to Europe we brought our tandem with us and we had not converted the tandem to pedal assist. But after a number of trips over the Alps and the Appenine Mountains in Italy with a fully loaded tandem we decided that it was time to do an electric conversion. We found a German company
that installed a Bafang motor on our tandem. The battery and tandem stays in Germany with our friends. On future trips with our tandem we will fly with our LIGO batteries that we bought from Grin Technologies in Vancouver. LIGO batteries are the only bike batteries that you can legally fly with. For our two trips to Japan we bought two Shimano batteries from a recumbent shop in Osaka for our recumbent trikes. The batteries stay in Japan at the shop for our next trip to Japan.
How did you manage to get your e-tandem with battery included in the plane? As far as I know, it is not permitted to take batteries on board of a plane.
