Electric Bikes can take you to further places, faster and with less effort than a regular bike. Bikepacking is a fantastic way to get outside and have an adventure. We love combining the two and break it down, for you to understand everything you need on your first electric bike packing adventure. Watch this video to learn how to bikepack on an electric bike.

Kevin Frias is an avid cyclist, bikepacker and content creator who lives in Minneapolis, MInnesota.  Kevin spends a great deal of his time getting out on two wheels, exploring, pushing his own limits, and making it easier for others to do the same.

In his words, "My name is Kevin and I am passionate about sharing the outdoors with others! Currently, I execute that by going on adventures and sharing it on Instagram (@kevdoesinsta) and Youtube (KevDoes). I want to energize people, especially people of color, to get outside and live their best life. I was born in the Bronx, NY and never knew about the life-changing force that you get from being outside so now I want to share that with everyone, and make the face of the outdoors a few shades darker."
