I've made it to first 150km. Nothing has broken even though I've endured pretty rough terrain.
Germany has pretty amazing cycling infrastructure.
Even when there is a sign "lookout bad cycling lane ahead," it can be in a pretty prestine condiction.
Living in the Netherlands, i've seen worse.
The trailer has a tendency to bounce on the slightest bump in the road. And with it's akward weight distribution when the roads became bad it became a nightmare to drive. It defently needs suspension. And I need to lower it by 10-20 cm.
The 50w solar panel is amazing. Using the ebike on fullpower mode 90% of the time. I've only managed to drain the battery from 100% to 94%. So 100amps on 12v with a 50w solar panel is overkill. (It was extremely sunny out so that helped)
As for the 250w hotpot. It was pretty hot today and bad air circulation within the cart overheated the 600w converter and popped its fuse. So that thing became useless. I'll pack up the little hotpot, the power converter and other accompanying utrmsels and sent it back home. I dont want to carry around dead weight.
The bicycle itself is pretty amazing. But I do want rear suspension. It just takes out the edge of exploring bad terrain.
That's all. I'll keep you updated if I have anything new.

I’d recommend a suspension seat post, really takes the edge of bumpy stuff.
Also damn you are traveling electric with trailer and got such a claustrophobic coffin tent, wouldn’t you like a bit more comfort?
Btw, the weather is sooo good right now!
