I am not sure how big your camper is, but I wouldn't store them inside. Ebikes are heavy, and unless they are properly tied, they will move and make damages.... I have an external rack, and this is how I carry mine. One more thing about that: Forget about carrying your ebikes on a roof rack... Way too heavy for that.

Legally, you can ride an ebike here in colorado pretty much anywhere EXCEPT public land, national forest and a dwindling number of other places. regulations are changing fairly quickly and I hope that most restrictions will be lifted soon.


Now the good part: ebikes are fun. This is probably the most fun I had on two wheels, like ever.... It's exercise, it's fun and you will explore more on an ebike than you would on a regular bike.
Thanks for the input. Do you know of places that rent E-bikes? Given the cost, it would be prudent to decide whether we will actually use them before we take the plunge.
