I watched this video about one year ago. I searched to buy some electric bike that i could use daily for commuting and to enjoy the Greek country side. When o saw this bike I told to myself this bike is for me. Especially when i saw you guys inside the rivers and on the rocks with such a lot of packages. Congratulations for this incredible promotion of Riese & Müller. From this video i convinced and i bought last November my Riese & Müller Superdelight GT Rohloff HS. Since I've done 6500km.... Thank you very much who inspired me.

@@LastAphelion It's about 17 months of use. I bought November 's 2021. I didn't regret it! The only problem was the controller of Nyon's which goes off because of rain. This is ridiculous for a bicycle of 11800€. Thanks God was in guarantee and I replaced it for free. Furthermore more I bought a cover for Nyon's parts but I see in rain some water going inside under the cover. Generally I'm happy. Mountains, beaches, rocks and roads nothing stopping me.

Thanks for watching, everybody!! We had such a great time, Ike and I are already dreaming about our next trip. We love exploring in California so lots of local trips first, but it feels soul-expanding to visit a totally different environment.

I feel like I have been to Scotland! This was amazing-love the scenery and music. It was great to hear the owners of Fly Rides Electric Bikes tell their story of travels.

Fantastic, what a trip. Great bikes ! Glad you had a fab time, cheers.

Wow! Just discovered your nice video. Well done! And what a beautiful trip: It's a dream also for us... These are also exactly the bikes we were planning to order for next summer. My wife was not so sure about the Superdelite because of the difficulty of getting on and off. But you convinced us it's the right choice, thanks! BTW, we are a "bit" older than both of you (64 & 65) but we still love travelling on bikes!

Can't imagine carrying a DSLR let alone a Drone! But totally worth it, awesome video guys!

This trip is amazing! What a perfect way to tour Scotland. My Bucket List just got longer. Thanks.

What a great video and such a clear picture and sound of the beauty of Scotland wow! I liked that drone view at the end too! I liked what you said about it's good being lost too! Do you know... can the R&M cargo bikes go anywhere the non-cargo bikes go? I'm thinking of saving up for an R&M and use a one wheeled trailer with it as I have 83 countries on my list to go to. Also... I read that it was overgrazing for centuries that caused the barren looking landscape of Scotland that was once covered by pine forests. There's an amazing environmental group all started by one Scottish man that is bringing back the original growth and they are finding birds long gone are returning! I like too how you spoke about your R&M bikes on such a trip as you're traveling exactly the way I hope to only I will be camping, so carrying camping equipment and solar charging batteries too. How long to charge a battery? Thanks for making such a top quality video! You are fun people with a real sense of adventure.
