    Great video Sam with amazing scenery. Another place in the South Island I haven't been. I presume the battery on the Triumph gets replaced. No good for stress though. Is it possible to put a bigger battery in your existing Energica? Wish I was young again watching you and Jen. Great video editing and as usual your efforts are appreciated! Stay safe! 😊

    • @NewZeroland
      @NewZeroland  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Gary! The next episode will have more views of Milford Sound. We hopped on a boat tour around the fjords and really lucked out with the weather. It's definitely possible to swap the newer/bigger battery into my bike, but cheaper to sell my bike and buy a new one. That's a weird dilemma, because it isn't environmentally friendly to build another motorcycle, but then there would be 2 electric motorcycles, so that's one less person riding a petrol one. This ride definitely confirmed that I need an upgrade.

    Some beautiful scenery. You're right. Very much reminds me of landscapes around the European Alps.
    Ohh, it nearly killed me watching you bump starting the Triumph. Doing that in full kit with a helmet is like the most intense workout and nearly killed me the last time I did it.
    I know there's more to the Triumph's issues coming, but that battery not charging situation is so much like when my Honda CBF 1000 has died on me through a dead regulator rectifier. And of course, it's always when you're on holiday too.

    • @NewZeroland

  • @paulg3336
    @paulg3336 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    If the Triumph has a bad battery or bad regulator,that is the first thing to replace. An unstable supply voltage can affect the fuel injection and the ignition.The "mechanic" in Queenstown should have done that first.
    Engine temperate rising when the bike is stationary or moving slowly is absolutely normal. Bikes have an electric cooling fan that is thermostatically controlled. The fan typically turns on when the engine temperature reaches the upper limit. When the bike is stationary there is no cooling airflow through the radiator until it gets hot enough for the fan to start.
    My MT09s run at 73 ℃ when moving ,at stand still the temperature rises to 105 ℃ and then the fan switches on.
    The Triumph appears to switch its fan on at 96 ℃

    • @NewZeroland
      @NewZeroland  3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not sure if that was mentioned already: These 50kW Tritium Veefil charger have an E-Stop button located at the bottom. This button can be used to reboot the charger by pressing, waiting a few seconds and then releasing it by twisting it. It takes a minute or 2 but In my experience this reboot fixes the issues in 90% of all cases. Also, a few times the charger did not work because someone (funny) had pressed that button.

    An Akira AND a Shadow of the Colossus reference? Is it my birthday? ...actually, it *is* this time! Those huge mountain sides are so awesome looking. Also, I would have wondered if there wasn't a loose connection if power isn't getting from the battery to the engine, that or something like a short was draining it... but then it being a gas bike, the engine could always be the culprit the entire time even with an electrical problem, but then it smoothes out... which makes me think "calm before the storm."

    • @NewZeroland
      @NewZeroland  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Whoa, happy birthday! 😁 Glad ya liked it. Ico and Shadow were so good, and yet I've had The Last Guardian on my shelf for years and still haven't played it. Might be time! Yeah my first guess was the stator / alternator / whatever they call it on bikes, but usually when the alternator dies, the engine doesn't stay on. I could be totally wrong. In my defense, gas engines are suoer complicated so any combination of things could have caused this 😂

    A battery not charging is usually not a dead battery but something wrong with the charging or electrical system.
    Batteries are damage when uncharged for too long, rarely when being used.
    But we'll see in the next episode I guess

    • @NewZeroland
      @NewZeroland  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah it was most likely the stator or something, but the bike continued to idle just fine, so we were really confused. Usually if the alternator dies and the battery is flat, the engine also dies, but my experience with gas engines is pretty limited.

    is it not possible to use kinetic energy to charge electric motorcycles while its running ? isnt it more convinient ? even if its not generating power equal to actualy charging it. is great to regain power while running thus giving the bike more milage.

    • @NewZeroland

It was the end of 2015 and I felt like that was such a futuristic sci-fi year, so we should be riding futuristic sci-fi motorcycles. At the time 80-100 miles was enough for me, but a year later I bought some fast chargers to start taking the Zero further. I got it up to 325 miles in a day. But the charging infrastructure here isn't that great for Zeros so I went the Energica route. I took my current bike over 440 miles in a day relatively easily!
