I helped Lowtax become a cyborg and all I got was this lousy avatar
I was out on a big backcountry ride yesterday and had a guy on an ebike haul rear end past me. I was pretty jealous. A thing that holds me back from an e-MTB is charging it away from home. Any ideas on this? I'll go for riding weekends where I'll camp for a night and ride two days. I could see this stretching into 3-4 days. How on earth do I charge an e-MTB in this situation?

I am sort of casually looking at e mtbs. I am concerned about the long term serviceability of batteries from smaller bike makers. It seems like everyone uses a proprietary housing for the battery. Are there companies already out there that can rebuild batteries? I am thinking specifically brands like YT and Commencal. I’m not finding much via google.
