Overall very nice days by bike. The routes Simrishamn-Ystad and Ystad-Trelleborg were partly on the road and inland, Ales Stenar and Sveriges Sydligaste Plats were nice breaks. Great accommodations!

The batteries on the bikes needed to be more powerful. Now some of us went to charge the batteries after half the distance. Strong wind and high age maybe legs absolutely need to be fixed. Otherwise good bikes with good accessories.
