The ghost town outside Jean, Nevada, stretches out under a raw desert sky; Joshua Trees punctuate scrubby flats while the bulk of Mt. Potosi watches from the east.

Charge and conserve battery
Use pedal-assist for climbs and save throttle for flats to extend range; expect up to 2 hours of typical use.
Hydrate before you go
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water per person and sip regularly—the desert dehydrates quickly.
Watch the heat and sun
Ride early or late to avoid high summer temperatures and wear sun protection and sunglasses.
Respect historic sites and private land
Stick to public roads and marked trails; the ghost town buildings are fragile and often on private plots.
