Great video man! I've been searching far and wide for people doing electric longboard/scooter/bike trips. I would definitely recommend pads though, they've saved me more than once!
Wow. you´re so amazing. a true force of nature. easy to feel inspired by your journeys .Just curious. this time around on a electrical longboard. Just curious how you make the battery last that long? any advice? Lastly please don´t stop..;) Some part of me wish i could get back on one of my boards. but to be honest. Turning 60 this year. Thanx for your videos.
Thank you so much! I had two chargers and 3 to 5 batteries, depending on the state of the trip. Each battery was around 10km. More or less, depending on which mode i was in. I charged every day at lunch time in restaurants or wherever i got some food. With two chargers, I was able to charge 4 batteries at lunch time. That means roughly 4 batteries before lunch and 4 batteries after lunch. If i needed the battery to last super long, i went into pushing mode. It was nice to push every now and then, so i did that quite often. I was pushing to bring the board up to speed and it supported with the motor to keep the speed for a little while. I guess it's not easy to get back into longboarding. But if standing on a board still feels comfortable to you, maybe electric is an option :) But also dangerous, just like electric pushbikes.. Thank you for watching !
I don't think there is. The only thing i heard of is that electricity is generated when braking. And i think it would be way too difficult to push when having a dynamo on there as well. Nice idea though :)
None to be honest. For my previous trip i had spare bearings for rainy days but i noticed that it doesn't make much of a difference. For this electric longboard trip it kind of didn't matter. I would suggest to clean your bearings, if the got really wet on a trip and then relubricate them.
i swap the oil for marine bearing grease even for my fair weather boards, they last so much longer and hasn't made a measurable difference in range or effort
@@anotheryoutuber_ I just switched back to oil from Phil's roller bearing / marine grease, and it is noticeably faster. I used the grease for at least 150 miles (not at once) and I took it through many puddles and wet pavement, as well as sand and gravel without any issues. Now I carry the greased bearings as backup in case I get caught in heavy rain. But who knows if I will feel like swapping them out under my poncho when it's raining and I'm in a hurry to get back.
@@crookedtool prolly would take as long to swap as it might save in time running oil for the small difference in drag, bearings are a wear component but i have some bearings now since swapping to grease with nearing one thousand miles and my gps data doing training laps have not shown a significant difference, but run whatever puts more smiles per mile.
@@anotheryoutuber_ One thousand miles is impressive, but I'm not trying to save that kind of money. I haven't been caught in rain for a couple months now, so I do prefer the oil for being noticeably faster, even if it isn't measurable by your standards.
Very nice trip. You actually scared the sheeps, or they just thought you were plain stupid 😂. Would love to be able to ride like that legally in germany. Bureaucracy in germany sucks
Thanks dude! I must've scared them😂 My intention was to make them come to me but that didn't work so well. Yeah it does suck! Would love electric boards to be legal here! Thanks for watching :)
i actually own a mellow board drive but i hate that they went in konkurs and they needed to close the company and everything, its even more bad for customers like me, i mean we paid a grand for the drive with everything or even more for those who have the deck an stuff and now we cant really use it....
That's so true! I would be super frustrated as well if i bought one myself. I just hope your drive will last a long time and won't break down. I personally hate that i never got a mellow for doing this trip 😄
I don't know to be honest. We were actually planning with the fact that someone will stop me along the way. Not sure what would've happened. Probably a fine. But the board has a mode where you can push and the motor helps you to keep the speed. Every time i saw the police, i went in pushing mode so that it looks like it's not electric. But the amount of times that i was going on busy roads with cars (where pushing was not an option) was huge, and the police never saw me. Maybe i just got lucky.
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS damn sounds like an awesome trip. I would love to do something like this sometimes, unfortunately my OneWheel stands out too much. I like this video, thumbs up!
thats crazy!! i hope this goes viral!
thanks a lot :)
Welcome to TH-cam again!
Thanks! I'm trying to continue as best as possible :)
Great video man! I've been searching far and wide for people doing electric longboard/scooter/bike trips. I would definitely recommend pads though, they've saved me more than once!
Thanks a lot!
You mean pads for knees elbow and hands?
The definitely would've helped with the wounds 😅
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS Yep, pads for knees and elbows, and slide gloves for hands definitely help
Good stuff!!! Thanks for longer version 🤙🛹⚡
thank you for watching it :)
Going to different bus stops/greenbelts all over the USA would be DOPE
For sure!! 🤘🏻
Thanks for posting this. Great video!
My pleasure! Thank you so much !!
You're a nice chap. Thanks for the documentary
Muchas gracias 🙏🏻 and thanks for watching !!
Opinel folding knife. Very nice.
Yes, love those knifes :)
It's a dream to go on a trip on a longboard I know you had alot of fun
Yeah, it's amazing! You should do it :)
Great stuff!! Would you be open to sharing your experiences on two different style boards?
Thanks a lot!
What exactly do you mean by two different style boards?
this was sick dude, very inspiring!
Thanks Kitty 😊
Super fun video :)
thanks a lot ! 🙏🏻

Is there a electric skateboard that charges with a sort of dynamo when you push?
I don't think there is. The only thing i heard of is that electricity is generated when braking.
And i think it would be way too difficult to push when having a dynamo on there as well. Nice idea though :)
What steps do you take to waterproof the bearings and board for rain and puddles?
None to be honest. For my previous trip i had spare bearings for rainy days but i noticed that it doesn't make much of a difference.
For this electric longboard trip it kind of didn't matter.

Yeah, pretty crazy but also super nice experience :)
It’s actually really fun
whens the next big ride ;)
Not sure dude😄

yes🥳
yea mate. no pressure but you are a storie teller , where are your stories at?
I would definitely say i'm not a great story teller. But I'm trying to become one!
Practice makes perfect :)
nice to hear from you again dude!
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS yea man same. Hope life's treating you well

how did you go from Hamburg to Munich on an electric Longboard and not get fined or stopped? I did that once and got shafted by the Munich police
I don't know to be honest. We were actually planning with the fact that someone will stop me along the way. Not sure what would've happened. Probably a fine.

Thanks again!
800км... Да я после двух метров на доске размажусь об асфальт.. Круто
😂 yeah that was a tough start to the journey
why do you have a abo flag on your helmet ? good video btw
thanks! I got it from the community in Australia, where I lived for almost 2 years.
