Miles then approached the folks at eZee Bike Canada who agreed to set him up with an eZee Torq electric bicycle, several batteries, and chargers which would be required for his long distance trip. The eZee bikes have proven their endurance in Africa on the Katima to Cape ride in 2009 and the folks at eZee were eager to test their product on a grueling ride in Canadian conditions where hills, cold & wet weather, and heavier loads were going to be encountered.

Miles will be blogging on http://blog.ezeebike.ca Follow his progress and check out one of his musical dates.
