Solo ride ADV - AURSJØVEGEN Ep.8 - Can you tour on a Livewire?
In Episode 8, I continue my ride from Eidsvåg towards Eikesdalen. There I see nice weather ahead up the mountains, so I ride in the valley and up to Aursjøvegen mountain pass. I almost crashed my bike inside a wet tunnel, but managed to manage it well and did not get eaten by a troll inside the dark tunnel either. Up on the pass, I meet a group of Swedish ADV riders. There was some rain on top, but I managed to shake it off with my Livewire. After the mountain pass, I continue to ride to Oppdal, where I stay for the night at a camping site.
Can you tour on a Livewire? Livewire is an electric motorcycle and has a short range of 160-240 km (depending on speed, wind, temperature, and so on), and many people claim it is too difficult to tour on an electric. But with a good charging infrastructure, it should be possible, right? Join me on this tour to watch the beautiful scenery in Norway and ride with me over many epic and amazing mountain passes.

Awesome part of the world looks beautiful. Great video. Cheers from an Australian livewire rider
Thanks! Cheers to the down under Livewire rider! 😊
just amazing..
A bit more scenic in your part of the country, than it is in mine :) Cool to see more people sharing their rides, like I do :)
which exhaust ? regards from germany
Dr.Jekill & Mr.Hyde exhaust.
@@xomoto fire my friend !!
Absolutely gorgeous movie. Thank you for you effort and plenty of tips. We are already looking forward for this summer because we are going there as well.
Thank you! If you are going here this summer, you can check out the other episodes of my tour in Norway. Or just read the text under the video if you don't want to watch it; there I describe some of the routes each day/episode.
What a beautiful ride. That roadway is outstanding with hardly any traffic, and I loved those tunnels. I would love to ride there on my 2016 Slim.❤👍🏼👍🏼
I'm glad you liked it. This trip is from 2021, and this is my first time with GoPro. I did not plan to post here on TH-cam as I thought it was a boring POV video, but I did it anyway before deleting it on PC. If you plan to ride in Norway, you can also see some of the videos I posted from my tour last summer on Livewire. This summer I plan a trip north via Lofoten and Nordkapp, but probably on my HD Ultra if we go 2 up.
That's an epic scenery! Beautiful landscape, you did a great job capturing this vastness with your drone. And kudos for riding the ELW up there!
Yeah, this was a great pass. This was the first trip with a drone; I had never flown a drone before, so I just did simple shoots. I'm glad you liked that. It was so much fun riding roads like this on an electric bike.
Fantastiskt bra och fina vyer. Plus för din info om olika sevärdheter. Bara synd att du inte får känna doften av avgaser 😊 VG 👍🇸🇪🏍💯
Takk, bare hyggelig! 😊 Har eid å kjørt «alt» de sist 25 årene, har også twincam Harley fortsatt så kan kose meg på tur med den også. Og det er mulig jeg bruker den på en lang tur denne sommeren. Livewire har jo en litt kul «jet» sound som også har vært kult å oppleve 🤠
The problem with these is this, nobody can hear you coming!! I've been walking trails, and suddenly, an electric scooter comes flying by. It could have hit me if I crossed over.
I can agree if the bike is very silent, but I have to say that the Livewire is not as silent as you think. People can hear something coming. At slow speed, it is more quiet, but then it is not a danger for anyone. Another aspect is that the rider has to take responsibility because people who are walking may be deaf, listening to music with earplugs, and so on. Always adapt to the speed. I am a truck driver and know what responsibility I have in traffic, and I am aware of dangers like that.
@@xomoto I may sound retarded but motorcycle should sound good. Like VTX1800 or Raider1900 with straight pipes :) I know it's forbiden in many countries but in my country it's not. Sounds awesome. I know it may disturb some ppl, but actually I fly by in 5 sec and they wont hear my bike anymore
@@BEDbMAK1 Haha, you sound perfectly healthy. I have owned and ridden all kinds of bikes. My 61-mod BSA 650 twin was my favorite. 2 years ago, I did some of the passes on my 2017 Slim S with Jekill and Hyde exhaust. Pretty close to your pipes, full open. After 25 years on ICE bikes, it was fun to try something else. I still have a twin-cam Harley, though. I can't live without that sound.
Don't get me wrong, I would like to try out ebike, but for now they look like toys for me. What I really wanna try is neander - diesel cruiser :)
Watching video from Bangladesh
Oh great! Please feel free to share my videos with your friends 👍😁 Are there many electric bikes there? Or mostly gas bikes, maybe?
Ser kjempefint ut! Aursjøvegen står absolutt høgt på lista over plassar å besøka med Experiaen. Ser også at du lader på Tesla v3 supercharger. Energica har trøbbel der, så bra å sjå at nokon får det til :)
Jeg det er bare a plusse til på lista :) Jeg likte veldig godt turen fra Eidsvågen og innover mot Eikesdalen også. I Gudvangen ladet jeg på Tesla, men der måtte jeg bytte til en annen Tesla-lader da den første jeg prøvde ikke startet. Sto ladere ved Circke K også, men velger Tesla når jeg kan pga de er pittelitt billigere å lade på :)
Awesome views. Love the use on the gravel road as well, demonstrating what the bike can do.
It was truly amazing up there. The livewire I ride in this video is stock. Only added bags and a windshield. Maybe I will change tires if I go on more gravel roads. It is not fun on wet gravel with the stock ones.
Nice ride bro 😎
Thanks! You should try it too 👌😊
@@xomotoya bro thanks, I'm already in the Trip ☺️
👍🎉🤩
🤩 i love this.
Dont really understand the danger of driving Trollstigen. 🤔🤔 Ive been driving it with car, car with caravan and also with mobile home and no danger what so ever. A bit crowded during july but its not dangerous 😅
Did you watch the ride I did? It was poring down. You should know that this is dangerous because rain loosens rocks... The next day, several Swedish riders were hit by rocks. They were lucky. The road then got closed. Watch the end of the last episode, where I show a clip of this accident.
@@xomoto Well. Trollstigen is pretty safe comparing to many other roads ive been on the past 40 years but i get it that it might be rocks falling but you were just unlucky. I have been on that road 25ish times in all weather you can imagine. It has taken me all from 15min to 2h to get from top to bottom or the other way around. Fog is the big hater though 🤬🤬 Hailstorm a few years ago was interesting as it fell almost 2 inches that was left on the road for almost 2h. Sadly Måbødalsvegen (old road to Vøringsfossen) has closed many years ago and that road madeTrollstigen feel like autobahn. That was scary for real, no matter the weather.
@@DrMcKay66 It is an open question if Trollstigen is Norway's most dangerous road. I am sure other roads here have more accidents, and there are many roads in Norway that have been closed permanently because of rocks. In general, all roads with steep hills on the sides are dangerous when it rains heavily. I was not scared of riding in that rain, but I would avoid it if possible. If a big enough rock falls down because the rain loosens it, it may be a fatal hit. I would rate that as dangerous.
@@xomoto I have seen many rocks fall thruout the years. I do miss the 80,s before most of the tunnels were built. Then it had to be over the mountain passes or a huge extra trip to get where you wanted to go. Old roads like Haukelifjell, Röldalsfjellet,Måbødalen, Stalheimskleiva and many more outstanding roads i have been privilaged to drive on. There are still some sections available today but most tourists take the tunnels now. But there are still some sweet little roads left and i do hope they keep them open, atleast until i cant drive anymore 😉😂. Mainstream tourists dont know what they are missing out on taking them tunnels. Good for the regular traffic but not for me. I like it narrow and a lil dangerous 😎
@@DrMcKay66 At Gudvangen camping, I talked to two Swedish riders; they did ride through Lærdals tunnel. I asked why they didn't ride over the mountain (Gamle Aurlandsvegen, the road I did ride in episode 3). They didn't know about that road. I showed them some photos from a ride over there two years ago. They were bummed they missed that, but they promised to come back for that road. You meet so many nice riders on the road, by the way. I hope to see you on the roads this summer! 😊
Brilliant views thanks for sharing - all the more dramatic in bad weather. Interesting to hear the electric noise / whine compared to the traditional noise of an ICE bike. Whilst it must be quieter (which I'd be v happy with!) does the high pitched whine become annoying?
Thanks; I'm glad you liked the video. After 25 years on all kinds of ICE bikes, I just wanted to ride something completely different. Not silience in speed, but at low speeds it gets close to silence. And that was something I wanted to experience in the mountains and on the gravel roads. At high speeds, it is more noisy, but this is the first time I have ridden for hours without earplugs. The wind noise at speeds you can't do much with.
Great series. Thanks for filming and sharing. Love the Livewire - which I never thought I would
Thanks; I'm glad you like it. Livewire has a special sound and feel that make it very enjoyable to ride.
Fair play. Love the riding in the rain.
I just looked into your channel. Nice videos! Any plans on taking your Pan America to Norway for a trip?
@@xomoto hay. Just finished watching a few more. Your “get to the chopper” made me lol. Yes, the DirtGlide is heading to Norway in May for my charity bike run 😬. Details in my last video. Hoping it all goes well and the main bits I wanna see have had the snow cleared 😂
Man riding into those dark clouds...
Not the best idea to ride into dark clouds. The Trolls ladder (Trollstigen) was closed the next day, as several riders were hit by rocks. It was just luck that no big rocks hit them.
9:50 last September we wanted to go further north but needed to ride down to this exact Shell fuel station cause i had like 7km fuel in my tank^^
Yeah, that wouldn't get you over the pass. Good call to ride down there then 🙂
💔 'PromoSM'
Beautiful area and beautiful bike! Nice that you can use the Tesla chargers.
Thanks. Yeah, I was really amazed by the glacier-colored lake. I preferred Tesla chargers as they were cheaper and easier to use. There were other fast-chargers in the same town that I rode by.
Those are some absolutely stunning views out there. I need to get out to Norway and ride sometime.
Yeah, you should do that! And it is so much better in real too!
Gorgeous scenery! love the sound of the livewire
I loved riding here! And Livewire just enhances the experience too.
Some area's look like scenery from lord of the Rings 👌
Yeah, New Zealand and Norway might look the same at times 🙂
90 kroner is about 8.75 dollars pr januar 2024
Yeah, that seems more correct 😁👍
Love the battery status updates going downhill :)
I was surprised, actually. And I was not prepared for it to charge up that much downhill and didn't look at the top. It might be that further up it was 82 percent, and with another mode on the bike, it would charge even more. I think down to Lysebotn has to be one of the steepest roads in Norway.
Great video! Just wondering where did you get that leather handlebar bag? I put the hollywood handlebars on my 48 Sportster, I really like them with the "nostalgia" hand grips. Look forward to more videos.
Thanks! Found it on ebay many years ago.
Another nice episode. Need to get up there for real 👌
Thanks! Do you ride any motorcycle? what kind?
Nice ... thanks from a French LiveWire rider writing from Colmar, Elsass !
Thanks, ride safe my friend!
Wow, such a beautiful terrain- it’s like something out of a dream, I’m speechless! I make riding videos too. One day I hope to ride roads like this. Just subscribed! Looking forward to more videos. Cheers from Canada!
Hi, and thank you for your lovely comment! It is getting more epic on this tour; I get dissy editing this. I filmed way too much, but I will try to take my time to show as much as possible without using too much of your time. I'm not that good to cut down on video length yet, but I know I probably should do so :)
Awesome footage! Did you do some color grading or is it out of the camera like that? It looks dope! Same for the drone shots, did you do some editing? Nice video!
Thanks! On this trip, I used the Mini 3 Pro drone for the first time; actually, this is the first time I have used a drone at all. The colors of the drone and GoPro shots were so different, so I did use the Lumetri presets. Most of the time, Cinespace 25, but also none or more vibrent color grading some places. If you like the scenery so far, just wait until the upcoming episodes; it is getting even better!
@@xomoto cool! Looking forward to it!
Pegs scraping maybe
Yes, but stock floorboards on this Slim S scarping
I lived there, I was at the plaque in Glopperdale, Christmas 1984, when my car phone rang and I was informed my Mum had died suddenly in the UkK, your photos were great and brought a tear to eye, Christmas 2023, Thank You
Thanks for comment, and your sharing of memories. Wish you all the best!
I from Philippines take and drive always
Hi, hope you are doing well in the Philippines! Do you ride a motorcycle? What type do you have?
Dragging floorboards
😬
You hit the bikes corning capability with a 5° lean angle
It was very interesting to watch. same route. I rode them too.
Too many riders overlook the old roads and take the tunnels instead!
That's for sure. I tried to drive off the central roads.
excellent video presentation
Like American cars, their bikes are only meant for straight roads.
Got to be a "test" of the internet (a.k.a. scam for views). Any rider knows this is a peg scrape from leaning into the corner. It's clearly obvious from the camera when the rider adjusts from the ground contact. Fun fact, this is why motorcycle pegs have springs to give way if ground contact occurs, and there's nothing wrong from leaning hard into curves.
This video was made for riders who don't know Harleys. I think all Harley riders know what makes this sound. A sound you don't have to be afraid off :)
thank you big bro for the great video and amazing scenery
Thanks!
Piston fell out.
Its the clutch House and Ground who Shake hands
Nice drone shots. Lovely scenery.
Thanks, it was a great feeling riding there!
Amazing, what time of the year is this trip?
Thanks! This was on late july. Two drone clips are from autumn.
kickstand or floorboard/peg scrape. The fact that you own a bike and didnt know this is mind boggling.
Floorboards it is. The question was not for me, but for the viewers to educate about the Slim 😊
Did you leave the stand down?
If the stand was down the bike would shut down. It is a 2016 Softail Slim S with stock floorboards, one of the lowest Harley.
Your kickstand or the bottom side of the bike???? You will see the scrape, should be at-least 2cm considering the sound.
This is a 2016 Softail Slim S with floorboards. I know what that sounds is, trust me 😊
