gas vehicle – that does not include diesel right?
Amazing vid, and an awesome journey, happy everything came together in the end bud, and much ❤ for the Alien Rides shout out we were all rooting for ya over here 🙌
You gained a new subscriber
Il take one of those scooters for 1$ sir😂
Bit bigger and faster cooler would have been good idea because three wheels would be much more stable at slippery conditions. You could even use battery to run cooler's compressor with inverter so you wouldn't need external power to keep burritos cool.
20:20 so fricken wholesome lol
This is why you should open carry some iron.
They should’ve rented a Pipistrel Velis Electro
Shame you had to resort to using a large vehicle, the Tesla, but what an awesome journey on so many fun vehicles. I rather like the K6 as it's pretty quick and now I want to build my own EV to play on, just need time, money and the guts to do so lol! Hats off to you both and a salute from the UK!
How are you allowed to ride a bike on the highway? And why would you do that?! That's so dangerous!
Having a shoulder on most roads, you decide to do 20mph on the right lane of a busy hwy? Ohhh boy.
I'm sure you did your research on the local laws, but those signs I see next to my highway saying no bikes, roller blades, ect. got me worried. I'm glad you made it safely, please don't do this again.
this man is unpredictable with what his videos are. one day its making the biggest paper plane and another its riding fun sized evs from boulder to austin. always entertaining.
Did you roll up to the Denver skate park one day with that cooler?
35:04 Is it just me, or does that vehicle sound a little bit like a landspeeder from Star Wars…
Out of all of the vehicles, the one that surprised me the most was the unicycle.
Glad everyone is safe. Now I want a burrito…
Nothing says "I love you man" like delivering a burrito 1,000 miles away. Glad you made it and happy we could give you a lift part of the way!
That was amazing dude hope alien 👽 rides sends me something to review soon
The worst part is I looked into some of these because thery are soo cool and almost all of them are worth more than I paid for my 2000 Toyota Corolla 1.5K XD
Take my modified razor moped for a ride 😂
this was a very heartfelt experience. more about good friendships than electric vehicles 😊
i want that bathroom scale ride
just saying most of the bikes that say long range can hit that range with better conditons but batterys are weaker in the cold
I dont blame you louis because ive been hit and its takes a while to get over the anxiety you really have to build nerves of steel. Youve pretty much accomplished my dream so im vicariously just living through your experience love the video and appreciate your sincerity
That cold weather really drains your batteries!

Dalhart, Texas??!!! If I ever find myself in Dalhart, Texas again, it will be far too soon!!! Taking a drive back to our hometown in mid-October one year, my ex-girlfriend, and I ended up being stranded for a few hours in Dalhart because of some premature snow blizzard that was dumping all over the Midwest. Finally, it had cleared slightly to the east of us, so instead of taking our normal route from here that would lead us generally north, we decided to travel further to the east before heading northward in an attempt to get around the storm, and hopefully out in front of it. It seemed to be working in our favor, at least for the majority of the drive, about 719 miles by way the crow flies, but I can not recall how much further distance was added to the drive from our little skirting maneuver, but it seemed to be worth the extra time, for we were free from the storm's wrath, and had smooth sailing ahead of us for several hundred miles . . . at least until we had arrived at a point that placed us approximately 169 miles from our destination, a drive that should not take longer than two and a half hours given no delays. Oh, but we had delays!!!! For this was where we realized the storm had gotten out in front of us, and we were now reaching its backside and seeing the destructive force it applied undiscriminatingly to all intrepid travelers! Everything was covered in snow, and all types of vehicles had slid off the highway, and into the ditches on both sides of both roads , for it was a four lane divided highway, and the majority of the remaining 169 miles of distance, I was unable to drive much faster than 25 mph, turning a relatively short, and quick 2.5 hours drive into a test of endurance lasting around 5 hours.
I do not recall ever having a snowstorm, or merely a snowfall that early in the season previously. So, I took it as an omen, and decided that barring any vital reason for doing so, I would never return to my old stomping grounds again, or my old stamping grounds if you prefer that nomenclature instead, either way, I would not make any future plans to visit my home town ever again. As far as Dalhart, Texas goes, well, that actually goes without saying . . . and as far as my ex-girlfriend goes . . . well, she just goes, or I should say went!
The speed limit changing while you were pedaling is completely by design to follow the regulations in the US. They can't advertise how to break the law. Anyone in the US with an interest in eBikes should familiarize themselves with the 3 classes, and any state/local laws regarding their use, even if you plan to not follow them.
20:30 That was a great emotional moment between two awesome friends and I thank you for including it in the video.
“Where did you find that?”
“Some kid back in town. Traded the van for it straight up… I can get 70 miles to the gallon on this hog.”
Bro riding a v12 is not for beginners that was actually very good for your first couple hours! Those are made to cruise about 35 to 40 mph for people who are already good at riding. This was a very good video. My electric vehicle is smaller than any of those but I still really enjoyed. Subbed. Tell your peeps send me something to rip in the mountains.
All bikes are limited to 20mph because that is the street limit in most areas and the national parks. Most bikes can be changed to 28mph but you sacrifice your battery life. Max range is usually not achieved if you're going at full speed. Plus, lithium batteries don't do well in cold weather and you lose some battery life.
I've put over 1,000 miles in 2 years on my Lectric XP2.0 bike. I use two batteries (one standard, one extended range) for about 35 miles on a newspaper route.
20 miles id take that as a win
Real men don't cry, they just water their beards…
Sd cards are recoverable try Rossman repair group they can prob do it if I recall correctly.
I love electric unicycles, but you needed like at least a month of practice before even attempting what you did
How'd you decide whats bikes you were gonna ride? Just companies that would sponsor this trip? Theres many variety of e bikes that are cheaper and go farther, also built well. So i was just wondering. Fun watch!
this is sick man love your vids
I don't understand how in America you can go on the highway in these weird vehicles.
In europe this would be highly illegal, you are not allowed to go on highway with not even a bike or moped, only with vehicles that can reach a minimum of 30 mph (50 kmh)
17:51 how hopeless are the drivers in America haven’t they seen some one ride a bike before Derr
0:42 Ryan Trahan!! lol
shocked you didnt get told off by cops more often. Most highways ban pedestrians and bikes under 125cc
love the cop said you good and dipped lol
Why would you get on the highway? And why would the chase truck travel at such slow speeds on the highway? This is just stupid and you guys almost caused how many wrecks?
Get a Sur-Ron
FYI: “Hot Swapping” means a system with dual batteries, and you change them one at a time, keeping the system online so as not to have to do a restart. For instance in a drone connected to GPS that would have to reacquire satellites once it’s powered down, so to save time you Hot Swap. Like during search and rescue. Changing a battery is just changing a battery.
when i clicked on this video i wasnt expecting the cooler
also it straight up took me until reading some comments to realize you put the burritos in there
good video would watch again probably will
