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!
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.
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 !
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 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!
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 😄

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 :)
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!! 🤘🏻
Opinel folding knife. Very nice.
Yes, love those knifes :)
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
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 !!
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 :)
Super fun video :)
thanks a lot ! 🙏🏻
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?
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.
I would suggest to clean your bearings, if the got really wet on a trip and then relubricate them.

Crazy 😂!
Yeah, pretty crazy but also super nice experience :)
It’s actually really fun
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.

@@Zibouloubloub maybe in a different country?
Thanks again!
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

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.
