Looks cool other than like their previous adventures they have a fleet of rescue and support crew

Ive enjoyed the first four episodes.
The charging issues with mains power and cold weather were very interesting. Then they just kind of “went away”.

Keen eyes will spot large diesel generators in some aero shots.

I’m guessing when they encountered issues so early on they had generators placed at key locations.

Still a good watch, the use of drone footage really captures the landscapes.

Is clearly a 'Long way Up', with a fucken long electrical extension cord....
Stick to petrol containers. But contrary the thoughts are there.

I'm enjoying the show, Electric bikes are the way of the future, and HD are leaders in this tech, I like that the bikes are showing their limitations, I dont care that they have a diesel generator in the convoy, it's a last resort, so far a lot of the footage is showing the country and their people, great stuff,
Charlie looks a lot worse for wear compared to Ewan,
For me $50k is out of reach, I'll sit on the fence until the pricing becomes affordable,

I think em is paying his ex 50k a month. Bikes are cheap.

I’ve seen the first few episodes- gamble for HD and Rivian to give vehicles to these whinging sods. Even more interesting that they need a diesel generator following them!

But saying that, we are seeing some honest good and not so good real life issues with electric bikes ... I’d say they (the vehicles development) will be better for the experience. I’d lean on the side of HD’s gamble paying off so far ... though a long way to go yet. I rather dig the looks of the Rivian.

And yes from what I understand EV batteries don’t like the cold and it negatively impacts their performance. Bit like beer...

Great show I'm loving it, a couple of thing regarding the cold, yes batteries don't like cold, and another thing is have you noticed that when it's really cold the guys in the Rivians are rugged up like Eskimos, seems that Electric Vehicles don't have heaters as we know it, they have Electric Heaters that sap valuable energy from the Batteries, if you want to go long distance you can't use your Heater,
