so this is something i never expected to
3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,559
see in my lifetime
4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:14,719
a a zappy charger on the wall there
5
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:16,800
plugged into a motorbike
6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,359
this is the harley davidson live wire
7
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:20,960
and we're going to meet someone who has
8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:21,359
ridden
9
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:24,400
one of these bikes from tierra del fuego
10
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,039
to los angeles it's a short afternoon
11
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:29,039
trip of about 13 and a half thousand
12
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:31,359
miles with no charge points all the way
13
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:32,640
so we're going to find out all about
14
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,360
that so this is the harley davidson live
15
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,000
wire
16
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,559
that is a zappy charger and this is
17
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:45,700
fully charged
18
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:48,739
[Music]
19
00:00:50,740 --> 00:00:59,680
[Music]
20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,160
so charlie thank you for a start to
21
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,960
finding time to
22
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,159
chat with us about this because it's
23
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:06,240
very it's been a very exciting thing to
24
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,479
hear about because i've watched you
25
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:10,320
riding all around the world and going oh
26
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:11,760
my god that's terrifying and i mean what
27
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,000
is
28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,520
i think always been good about what
29
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,560
you've done is you start out all kind of
30
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,720
capable and roughly tufty and basically
31
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:19,600
[ __ ] goes wrong
32
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,520
i mean for real you know people fall off
33
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,280
like bikes breaks stuff and you then you
34
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,960
have to get that that's been what's made
35
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:26,000
those adventures you've been
36
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,400
on really interesting when we did long
37
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,360
way around you know
38
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,079
it it it that came from yoon and i
39
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:33,759
wanting to do a long
40
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:35,600
a longer journey right then one day you
41
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:36,880
and said lord got this idea and so i
42
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,240
went to his house and he had this map of
43
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,200
the world and
44
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,759
and he said look what if we go to you
45
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:43,040
know i know we were talking about maybe
46
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,560
china but what if we just carry on and
47
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,439
go to new york
48
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:47,439
yeah and so that seemed like a good idea
49
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:48,560
little did we know
50
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,479
what yeah what you're actually actually
51
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:52,320
doing and so when we did that we did
52
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,680
that then we did long way down through
53
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,159
africa
54
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:56,399
yeah um and then and then we've just
55
00:01:56,399 --> 00:01:57,520
done long way out
56
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,240
and and you know it's been a long time
57
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,280
since since we
58
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,360
uh yes it's been a long gap yeah longer
59
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,119
it's been like um
60
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:06,719
i think there's been i think it was 12
61
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:08,239
years or something between them
62
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:12,000
and then in in 2016 i had a huge
63
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,840
um motorcycle crash and smashed my legs
64
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,040
into pieces
65
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,280
and um and that sort of brought us back
66
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,640
together again and we started talking
67
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:19,840
about doing a long way up
68
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,680
and then russ and dave who are business
69
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,520
partners and the two producers who are
70
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,239
in the
71
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:26,640
who are in the rivierans right as backup
72
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:27,360
vehicles for
73
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,560
for for this trip because they're
74
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,400
electric as well um
75
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,440
uh they came over and and
76
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,440
and then russ because he likes doing
77
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,959
things for the first time and he likes
78
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:37,840
all sorts of
79
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:38,959
stuff like that and he goes look no
80
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:40,480
one's done it before but what why don't
81
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:40,879
we
82
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:42,959
have we thought about electric and we
83
00:02:42,959 --> 00:02:44,720
were yeah that's a great idea
84
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,879
and then it's cut to us and the bottom
85
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:48,239
of argentina in the middle of
86
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:49,599
well there's not a lot of plug sockets
87
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:51,440
there's no plug sockets in south america
88
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,920
central america or mexico i'm gonna get
89
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:55,599
dressed fully in everything that i have
90
00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:56,239
to wear
91
00:02:56,239 --> 00:02:58,800
because it's so cold outside okay so
92
00:02:58,800 --> 00:02:59,920
here it goes
93
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:04,800
i'm under there long johns t-shirt socks
94
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,080
puffer trousers jeans
95
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,920
cardigan half jacket
96
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:13,840
it is the beginning of the adventure for
97
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,920
us we're not experts on electric
98
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:16,720
vehicles
99
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,040
we don't know the ins and outs of how to
100
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,959
make it work at the best
101
00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:23,280
but we're going to learn gloves
102
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,680
waterproof trousers
103
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,480
with a proof jacket so we found
104
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,519
ourselves down there in the middle of
105
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:30,480
winter
106
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,400
and and one of the worst winters since
107
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,519
1974
108
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:35,760
or something like that so you really we
109
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,360
had to cancel it before we had to
110
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,959
phone it for like four days because of
111
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:40,480
blizzards and snowstorms
112
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,720
and then you and i then we came back all
113
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,959
this the cables these all these cables
114
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:45,599
how do you
115
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:47,680
plug them in if they were so new these
116
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,440
weren't for sale yet the rivians
117
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,920
had not barely been announced we had one
118
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:52,799
and two
119
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:55,680
first one wow the one two that kind of
120
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:56,560
ones that were
121
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,599
probably made and then uh and so that
122
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:01,040
was a steep learning curve for electric
123
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,599
because you know you know that electric
124
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:05,439
it doesn't like the cold so much
125
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:07,200
um you know batteries don't perform as
126
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,720
much and so we go yeah we're going to do
127
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,319
this we're going to do these miles and
128
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:11,920
we get out on that first day and we've
129
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,239
done like two thirds less right
130
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:15,519
then we've done a third less than we
131
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:17,358
thought and then we thought you know and
132
00:04:17,358 --> 00:04:18,880
so was a
133
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,440
massive learning curve about all the
134
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,079
electric and
135
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:24,400
and not only that but we we'd have to go
136
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,759
to the end of each day
137
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:28,160
and and and asked someone to plug in
138
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,639
yeah and you know would you mind and and
139
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:32,720
you know and and we were thinking we
140
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,160
have to explain to them how much it was
141
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,440
going to cost and
142
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,199
you know all this kind of stuff but
143
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:39,600
really every single person we asked
144
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,840
you know was okay with this yeah
145
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,440
could you take a charge from them if you
146
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,479
were really desperate because they've
147
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:50,000
got obviously much bigger batteries
148
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,800
well we we developed a uh along with
149
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,320
rivien and harley davidson
150
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,560
we developed this thing so you know
151
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,840
riven to bike
152
00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:59,840
so we had a box that that could do it
153
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:00,880
and fill
154
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,020
the bikes in about an hour just over an
155
00:05:03,020 --> 00:05:06,720
[Music]
156
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:11,840
hour
157
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,800
it's quite useful me being supremely
158
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,479
ignorant about
159
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:20,240
combustion motorbikes so if you've got a
160
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,160
tank full of petrol in a bike that's
161
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,320
roughly this sort of scale and power
162
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,039
yeah
163
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:26,400
i don't know how far you can go on that
164
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,639
i mean i don't know yeah well i mean
165
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:30,800
if you if you if you have a uh an
166
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:31,840
adventure bike
167
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:33,680
um you know you can put enough fuel in
168
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:34,960
it to do
169
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,080
you know to do you know 500 kilometers
170
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,479
right or you know 300 miles right and
171
00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:41,919
and so you know that gives you
172
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:43,840
whatever scope was this is you know with
173
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:45,520
the charge in the middle of the day
174
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,039
uh you know you're going to get a you
175
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:48,560
know getting 150 miles
176
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,000
or so out of it so you had to change
177
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,320
in the if you if you you ride it charge
178
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,400
it ride it that's 150 miles right yeah
179
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,919
so you so so what we would do we would
180
00:05:57,919 --> 00:05:59,280
go along it was good when it was
181
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:00,639
hilarious or sometimes because
182
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:02,560
you go along to find some restaurants
183
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:03,680
you're not hanging out in petrol
184
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:04,800
stations anymore
185
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,880
you're hanging out in at cafes and
186
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:07,919
restaurants and
187
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:09,520
businesses yeah like we would say we've
188
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,960
got lights
189
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,800
yeah we see a garage and say can we plug
190
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,160
in because they're there
191
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,520
we've got power would probably be
192
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,360
stronger and then not only were we sort
193
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,160
of
194
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,080
plugging into these different people but
195
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,000
we're kind of plugging the bikes in but
196
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,600
we're plugging into their lives
197
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,960
yeah as well so suddenly you know we
198
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,560
would be in someone's business well
199
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,759
you're going to be there for much longer
200
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:30,240
yeah for coming up in three minutes and
201
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,440
then and then you would um
202
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,639
and then say oh listen come for some
203
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:34,319
lunch or we'd be invited to the house
204
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:34,639
and
205
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:35,919
and then suddenly you're you're sitting
206
00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:38,240
there having this amazing conversation
207
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,759
with people and they go look look if
208
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:40,880
you're heading this way you've got to go
209
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,240
and see these people
210
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,680
you've got to go and stay there or
211
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,000
you've got it so so there was this whole
212
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:46,800
sort of
213
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,560
perpetual thing that went on that was
214
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,080
that was very cool because that's the
215
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,720
other thing i wanted
216
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,160
because you've got so much experience
217
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,319
riding bikes like combustion bikes so
218
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:55,120
that you know to
219
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,880
i don't know what that how it feels
220
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,039
different to ride an electric one i mean
221
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:00,400
i know i know about cars but i don't
222
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:00,880
know about
223
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,720
bikes yeah i mean i think i think i
224
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,000
think you know because you haven't
225
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,039
gotten an engine you haven't got the
226
00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:05,840
vibration
227
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:07,759
you you there's more you feel more
228
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:09,280
connection to the road or different
229
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:10,560
connections in the road
230
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,479
um and one of the things we noticed as
231
00:07:12,479 --> 00:07:13,759
well is when we were going along we
232
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:15,360
would pull over and there'd be a whole
233
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,520
herd of llamas just on the side of the
234
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,479
road and
235
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:19,840
because there was no noise you would
236
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,360
turn up they wouldn't they would go
237
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,000
anywhere right
238
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:22,960
and they would just sort of look at you
239
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,759
with those very voluptuous eyes that
240
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:26,400
they have
241
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,840
the big eyelashes your big eyelashes and
242
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,520
you're just looking you're blinking away
243
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,400
not quite sure what was going on but um
244
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,440
and then
245
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,599
so it's different you can you drive
246
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:37,039
through you ride through
247
00:07:37,039 --> 00:07:38,639
through towns and villages and you can
248
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:45,840
hear everybody yes
249
00:07:45,890 --> 00:07:53,590
[Music]
250
00:07:53,590 --> 00:07:55,039
[Applause]
251
00:07:55,039 --> 00:07:57,280
so i've been thinking you know just i'm
252
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,879
already i haven't even seen the show yet
253
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:00,160
and i'm anxious for you
254
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,919
i can imagine you riding on like desert
255
00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:03,280
roads where do we charge
256
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,720
but then i have suddenly thought that's
257
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,840
i'm only thinking of the bikes because
258
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,039
you've got to charge the rivians as well
259
00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:08,720
and you plug two riviens into a little
260
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,599
cafe
261
00:08:09,599 --> 00:08:12,160
you're going to wipe away a yeah i know
262
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:12,879
so we did so
263
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:16,319
so along with with um rivian
264
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:18,479
they they teamed up with another company
265
00:08:18,479 --> 00:08:19,919
um uh
266
00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:22,960
uh and and and we've we've left this
267
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,400
whole phase two
268
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,800
um charging system every hundred miles
269
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:27,520
right
270
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,479
from the bottom of argentina to to uh
271
00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:30,879
what you
272
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:34,799
said yeah wow so so anybody now
273
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:37,120
could do that can can do that so so the
274
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,399
rivien's had that but then
275
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:41,440
this is ccs so this is phase three
276
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,599
right so um we we could although we
277
00:08:43,599 --> 00:08:45,040
could charge from them but it was just
278
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,320
like charging from a
279
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,800
normal battery a normal plug yeah so we
280
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,360
didn't benefit from it but but later on
281
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,040
we benefited from the from the
282
00:08:55,839 --> 00:08:59,680
system so we spent most of our time um
283
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:09,839
charging yeah
284
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:13,680
one of the most really interesting
285
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:16,160
places we went to was was was costa rica
286
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,120
right and and beautiful stunning
287
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,720
stunningly beautiful place
288
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,720
but they do you know that the first
289
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,959
light bulb ever turned on in costa rica
290
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:25,519
was on
291
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:27,920
was was charged by renewable energy
292
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:28,720
right and
293
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,839
and ninety percent of their power is
294
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:33,839
renewable and do you cover that in this
295
00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:35,279
show yeah yeah brilliant that's really
296
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:35,839
good
297
00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:39,040
and they and they they don't um
298
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,959
they don't have a military no so the
299
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:42,000
money that they would spend on the
300
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,680
military they spend on renewable energy
301
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:45,519
education and i mean the really
302
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:46,959
interesting thing about
303
00:09:46,959 --> 00:09:48,480
them is and i because my geography of
304
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,680
that area is limited but i've
305
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:50,240
interviewed
306
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,600
amazing women from costa rica uh is that
307
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,040
they've not got oil
308
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,640
and their neighbor and i can't remember
309
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,160
which it is does have oil and it's
310
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,519
completely corrupted the government and
311
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:00,399
it's made them
312
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:02,320
politically unstable and there's poverty
313
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,760
and starvation and there's incredible
314
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,279
wealth and there's massive corruption
315
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:07,120
they haven't got any oil and they're
316
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,480
kind of all right yeah
317
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,160
and they do it really interesting and
318
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,160
one of the places we and we went past
319
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,000
one of these big solar panel uh these
320
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,360
solar farms
321
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,440
and uh and we thought we'd just pop in
322
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,880
and and say hello
323
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,399
and so we popped in said hello and um
324
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:24,160
uh and we said would you would you take
325
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,440
us around because i hadn't i don't know
326
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,000
how that
327
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,320
sort of uh farm works i mean you see
328
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,519
them going down the m4
329
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:31,279
or you see them on the sides of the
330
00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:32,800
roads and some of them are massive
331
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,440
yeah and um so they said yeah yeah come
332
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,880
in and especially since they saw their
333
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:37,519
lecture
334
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:39,200
and then they said come on let's we'll
335
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,360
plug you in yeah and so we're asking can
336
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,120
we plug in while we when we where we
337
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,240
have the tour so yeah
338
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,279
so so at that stage we were we were
339
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:49,360
plugged straight into the sun and
340
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,880
straight into the bike so it was a
341
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,360
fantastic
342
00:10:58,839 --> 00:11:01,839
feeling
343
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,399
but but you know what was amazing was
344
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:10,560
was when we on our first day
345
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:14,399
in uh in america we uh we kind of left
346
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:15,600
late
347
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,320
um and we had quite a way to go and
348
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,600
we're thinking you know
349
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,959
you know we've only got uh you know
350
00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:24,320
this amount of battery power we're not
351
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,959
going to be able to get very far
352
00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:29,120
and we'd organized to stop at one of
353
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,560
these fast chargers
354
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:32,399
and and they were kind of new to us you
355
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:33,600
know we'd never
356
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,279
ever that was the first time you first
357
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:36,880
time we've ever used a rapid charge
358
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,360
yeah because when we gone down when we
359
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,800
go down to the bottom of argentina to
360
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,760
start this
361
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,200
you know you and i looked at the bikes
362
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,320
got them out of the crate and we
363
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,600
realized we'd only
364
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,399
ever ridden these bikes for about an
365
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:49,519
hour and a half right
366
00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:51,600
and and had never charged them and never
367
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,959
done anything like that
368
00:11:52,959 --> 00:11:56,000
nothing no nothing and so um because you
369
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,120
know they're all prototypes it just
370
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,160
wasn't time yeah
371
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,760
anyway so we get to this charge and we
372
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,200
put it in and
373
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,639
and you can literally see yeah the power
374
