my relationship status

- It’s complicated guys, just like every other relationship but we’re working on it and I hope we can figure it out and the plan that we have for Eve sounds solid as long everything arrives in time, including myself on the motorcycle in Mumbai! I knew sooner or later I was gonna need help because nobody but the manufacturer knows about this bike and I’m absolutely screwed if something goes wrong. It’s gonna be a long ride today, also a little bit of sightseeing (that statue is huge) and I won’t make it to Mumbai in one day I’m afraid. Boy this massive city is truly something else.

Thanks guys 🤙🏼
*Waiting 😃 your video😶 pls upload quick👀*
*You go Mumbai carefully traffic 🚦⛔ is so bad and worse*
Going behind a truck is dangerous. If an animal or object comes under the truck and you will have no time to escape.
@@Noname123rrit’s a big risk I know
I loved that music you played at 32:16
Hell Yeah 💪🏽 Go for the Royal Enfield 650 or Himalayan or something Strong, but on a serious note no one here in India had heard of Zero Motorbike until you started promoting the good & bad eve had to offer, this year they're launching in India in partnership with Hero Motors, so you gave them Free Promotion 👏 They should sponsor you.
I know, but yeah nothing I can do about it. One day they might start sponsoring the journey 🙌🏼
@@MarcTravels marc i still think waiting is the worst in any partnership, ask them clearly if they are willing to be in or not. And if they don't reply, please meet RE. they are the smart company. I am pretty sure you will get sponsorship from RE for their New Himalayan. @Itchyboots got the prototype Himalayan, it wasn't even launched at that time
@@Rajukjha007dude, I asked them so many times😅 they won’t pay the cow as long as they get the milk for free 🤪 and yeah you can’t compare my tiny yt channel to itchy boots…it’s a different stratosphere 🙌🏼
@@MarcTravels Hey, Marc
I am an Indian from the North,
Do explore Himachal and Kashmir if you get some time though.
And I am in Frankfurt at the moment.
Where are you from Germany ?
Chao chao !!!
@@MarcTravels buy ultraviolette f77 its an ev and its good
Attention PR department of ZERO...Marc and Eve are THE very best advertisement that you could ever dream of..his audience will grow and grow...Marc bought Eve himself and is giving you free exposure..jump on board...it's a win/win situation
There are other EV motorcycles out there now even since he started. At the moment I wouldn't buy a Zero based on how they treated this customer (Marc) so far.
Great to hear Zero is starting to help you out! Stay safe and don't forget to recharge those physical and mental batteries from time to time. Take care
Yeah that I’m struggling with a little🙈
@@MarcTravels Eating healthy and feeling safe where you drive, play, and sleep is life's top priority #1 which is super tricky requiring lots of research, observing, and discovering. Thailand probably has the most healthiest cuisine and the best small business restaurants in all the world. You're gonna love it when you get there. You'll have the transport the bike over water for Myanmar and China are a no go now. My coolest experience was a 2 week trip to Myanmar in 2010. I wish you could go see The Golden Land.
Seems very short sighted of Zero. KTM made the mistake of not supporting Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boardman on their around the world adventure. The BMW GS they used, then became and still is, one of the biggest selling adventure bikes, ever. Zero take note 🤔
Yes very short sighted, couldn’t agree more. But you know what they say „Don’t buy the cow, if you can get the milk for free!“😉 it’s just business I guess
Just astonishing how well you are doing with an electric motorcycle and how kind and compliant all the nations have been to you. Not only are you an Ambassador for Zero motorcycles but for humanity, demonstrating how with respect, tolerance, patience and appreciation we can all get along so well. May you continue on your journey with the same passion and humanity bringing us along for the ride to enjoy the cultures and customs in each episode. A great comfort to have the back-up support from Zero and a mutual benefit for you both. Ride safe Marc.
Yeah let’s if we can work something out 🙌🏼
As of today Zero has announced their partnership with hero motocorp wherein they'll co-develope a brand new platform for their upcoming 4 bikes in India. They plan to launch 2 of them by next year. Glad to see them finally supporting you 🫡
Yeah let’s see what happens 🤙🏼
Wtf! 😂 i was just thinking about exact same thing while watching this video without even realizing that it has already happened.
And also amazing about Mumbai, this town has apparently the highest density of free roaming Leopards worldwide. Nowhere else so many Leopards (but probably still you will not see even one of them).
I’m not a fan of electric cars and bikes, but I would love to see you complete the journey with Eve. You are doing a great job of promoting Zero. I actually went to the nearest dealer recently to check them out. The fact that your bike doesn’t need oil changes, valves adjusted, etc. is intriguing.
Yeah, if you buy one let me know, I have a list 😜 cheers mate 🤙🏼
Marc get mosquito coils (you can get in any grocery shops) & a air tight plastic container/small plastic lunch box/tiffin box (to keep it & carry in your journey; also helps the coils from breakage/getting wet). Burn it as needed to prevent mosquitoes bites. Be careful of malaria, dengue. Ride safe.
Or buy an Odomos cream/stickers.
Man that's awesome news! I'm so glad Zero is helping you out. I mean, 60k+ people are watching now. They need all the PR help they can get! There isn't any way of updating firmware in NZ yet but I have a friend who can work on these bikes. He's setting up an electric motorcycle shop here, so you'll be ok when you get here!
It's quite obvious that from the marketing point of view, Zero should provide you with their proper adventure bike as Royal Enfield did with Noraly!
Proper adventure bike?
Short term loaner. She is back on her own Honda Re did have its own promotour with multiple staff and bikes, so easy to short term loan one to Noraly.
@@chr11sf Yes, DSR/X.
People watch you cause about you not the bike, in my point of view. The Bike is your tool to get the goal.
Awww that’s so nice of you to say! Thank you ❤️ great to hear
Good to hear that Zero is finally willing to give you some support. Hopefully you can achieve something good together. They couldn't get a better long-time test.
1:20 me getting excited when I hear "statue of unity" !!!!!
That was awesome
Yeah because that man United whole India which was divided into 565 different small princely states.
All different in culture, language, custom, race but came under one umbrella under his leadership. He is known as Iron man of India.
Keep on, Marc!
As a guy who did some sport bike touring I would advise you not to underestimate the knee problem. Do frequent stops to exercise them, stretch them one after the other regularly while riding, use hot baths and oinments for them at night. If you hands, back and riding position allow, you can fit firm insert on the saddle, sitting higher for lesser knees joint angle. Stay safe 😊
That is so true. I ride a 1200GS and even with that bike, every cm of saddle height helps with the knee pain.
If you ask me, I love Himalayan. For me, it wouldn't make a difference if you run on electricity or gasoline
Okay good to know;)
Zero motorcycle does an excellent job but nobody has heard of them, let’s change that!!
That Statue was incredible thanks for sharing it with us.
Super impressive statue 🤩
That statue looks like CGI it's so big. Can't wait for Indonesia, it's my dream destination 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yeah right, looks unreal
Mark still watching your Journey on your bike, I thinks you are inspireing a lot of people that you are doing. All the best Ranulph
Thanks man🤩
Wow that statue is gorgeous and really impressive. Put that on my bucket list 👍 Great video Marc. Thx for sharing 🤜🤛
Marc u should've waited for the laser show on stair of unity. It's worth waiting for really nice work they've done
Great video thank you very well done as always thanks for taking us along cheers to ya.
Funny, I thought we would be discussing Marie lol.
We would not 🫣
Toot toot! 😮
Anand Mahindra need to see these videos. He would definitely help you as he is partnering with Zero.
Whatever happens, don't stress out man. Everything will work out at the end! Good luck!
If governments want EVs to really take off they need to ban all these individual apps. Why can't the suppliers just have a contactless card reader on each charger and list the prices just like a petrol station. Ride up, use your debit / credit card ....job done ✔️
Hell yea with the new Himalayan would be nice
Pushing through. Much appreciated!
Always!
23:07 I want to see a video with you and Royal Enfield! :D Look, people are watching Itchy boots, and she is changing motorcycles during her trip (and they arent anything special). I think as far as your videos are about your journey, new countries, exploration and they are interesting, its not that important what type of bike you have ;)
I would love to watch you ride on a Royal Enfield Marc! You're the most entertaining vlogger/presenter on TH-cam buddy! Hope your cold gets better and the mossie plague dies down!
Love the new frequency of uploading.. 👏🏻
We watch your video because we can also explore places and feel the experience a little bit through your videos. We dont it for the bike. As long as the bike is competent enough to take you around the world, it works. Im saying this to tell you that we would watch your videos even if you were doing it on a royal enfeild or any other bike as long as it is strong enough to take you around the world and explore places.
Hello Marc, fantastic travel videos. Glad you are having a great time in this part of the world. Yesterday I tested the DSR/X and i might be hooked! Adios from Spain
I can see why 🙌🏼⚡️ let me know how it goes 🤙🏼
Hi Marc, great to hear some support coming from Zero. It is cool that you can use your motorbike gloves for the touchscreen. I am looking for gloves that can do that. Would you mind sharing the make of the gloves? Thanks for all your hard work mate!
Aww u missed Daman which rught by Vapi, they hv great beach front roads for driving and the sunset view is spectacular
We are watching this to learn about your journey & experience in my country Bharat 🇮🇳 and appreciate you take this challenge to travel several thousand kilometres on a bike.👏
Doing this on EV or Car or any other vehicle comes secondary. It hardly bothers your viewer. But that certainly does to ZERO Motorcycles. The least they could do is ensure that it runs without any issues and see if they could refund the entire cost. Considering you are free brand ambassador. Cheers mate 🎉
Mumbai is huge and crowd is even crazier. Apprently every big city in india is like that.
I've been watching your videos for awhile and because of your content, i've been thinking about adding a Zero motorcycle to my garage. You are a pioneer just like when A Long Way Around was first filmed.
We do want to see you on Royal Enfield 🎉
Happy and safe riding buddy 🏞🛣
Cheers 🎉
Glad your finally getting the support you deserve Marc. Keep them coming 👍
Well, nothing happened yet but things are looking good 🤩
Been following your vlogs for quite a long time mate, welcome to mumbai !
Hey Marc, in India you missing the capital of India, "Delhi" the crazy city you missing Delhi and Delhi's hospitality, I hope next time
Have you considered a gel pack for the saddle? Also people put a set of foot pegs forward on the frame so you can stretch your legs. At your height and on a sports bike you really need this!
They are willing to help this is the main point ......at least they are supporting their bike that is the main issue . Have a good trip Alain & Yellow
Loved the video Marc. We are all rooting for ya. Keep riding man 🫡
Thanks! Will do!
A suggestion: It would be super interesting to tailor and customize the bike to your size and dimensions. For example with adjustable footrests, handlebars, risers and so on. This would also be good for your body's health and posture...
That would be awesome 🤩
Hey marc I hope you are much much enjoying❤🙉
Great that Zero are giving help at last. Keep doing what you do we love it. Watch that traffic though x
Yeah traffic and potholes ✅
So so glad Zero have reached out to help you, it just shows to me they do care and it sends out a message to your viewers too.
You inspired me to buy a Zero and honestly it's the best purchase I've ever made!!
Thankyou Marc, thankyou Zero 😊
Ride safe.
Congrats on your first date with Zero, be polite, get some flowers.... um... you know what I mean ;)
Haha I’m bringing flowers every other day in form of a video 😜💐
Very interesting yr bike .travels are😅 .👍..
....your gonna get .... Good colabs just see.....
So .best wishes to you.marc ..
.it will.all go well for yr good will ...😊.....
if you have a flu, just pop in a paracetamol tablet (you can get one at any medical store in India, and it's not expensive), and get a good night's sleep...when u wake up the next day, you'll forget you even had a flu.
Yeah the sleep, that’s my biggest problem
I feel like your optimism and doing what you're doing on an EV is really unique and a major differentiating factor for your vids, and if you go with the RE it will kinda make the content same to other vids, so you should continue it on EVE for now and you definitely deserve the sponsorship from zero for how much you have marketed their brand infact should send you one of their adventure bike for you further journey.....really loving the vlogs and your way to present the content.....and don't forget to take care of your mental as well as physical health.......❤❤❤
3:53 bro you found a cheat code
You shoud use an Airhawk seat cushion. This will raise you up and unbent your knees. Thanks for all the videos.
I always had an anti mosquito net when travelling. This helps so much.
Regarding that Noraly got a new bike from Royal Enfield, I believe it was for testing purposes and not really her to take it home, but I could be wrong. Noraly has 2 million subs and Marc just passed 64000 and his bike cost 3-4 times more than a Royal Enfield Himalayan. When Marc get to 6-8 million subs that would be a comparable investment. I do think Zero should support Marc with service items, as they are now. Keep up the good relationship with Zero. They are a small bike producer.
Christmas! That was a month and a half ago. What date are you at?
I would continue to follow your adventure whatever you are riding Marc. Hope you travel through Thailand.
Best wishes.
Thanks man good to know
That is great news, about fixing the bike,, waiting for that video.
Yeah let’s see what happens
India's biggest city Mumbai ❤ please live in Mumbai for 3-4 days and enjoy the Mumbai it was so much beautiful ❤and go Delhi India's capital explore some India ❤
Zero really dropped the ball with you. Your plans should have been eagerly joined by zero. What an awesome opportunity for them to gather data on it. Never mind the free exposure. And you being psyched about the bike is a huge plus. Loving your show. Great job on all of it. Well done keep it up.
Thanks man and in regards to zero, they get everything out of this deal already. They haven’t dropped the ball, they played it real clever! I had no choice but to go with their bike;) Never pay the cow if you can get the milk for free 🤪
Be cautious while riding on the highway.😊
Zero's so smart to come on board! Very happy for you!
Well, it’s good to have someone to reach out to indeed 👍🏼
Nice it's type2 cables. There.
Surat has the World's largest Office Building "The Surat Diamond Bourse"
Mumbai se hi leke gaye😂
It's not empty dude😒😒@@MadAtheist
@@RahulPatel-yb7tmindia mein hein na bs ❤
We don`t want another motorcycle - please make Eve great again! P.S. i love your Camera : the Zoom and the Night-view is amazing!
Yeah right it’s so good 🤩
@@MarcTravels which camera u are using bro??
Looking at the hassels of electric bike charging stations, one must opt for petrol vehicle. In India it would take some more time, may be more 5 years to get more charging stations comfortably.
Well the apps are the major issue for me
The bike manufacturer Zero should make you a ambassador of the brand. Considering you have put thousands of miles on the bike you "own" not gifted or loaned. The DSR/X dual sport does look a more suited motorcycle for your needs, and looks stunning in my opinion.
The brand should be giving you some sort of kickbacks for all this promotional work & technical feedback
Stay Safe Marc
Love from the UK 🇬🇧
Amen 🙏🏻
The statue is magnificent . Hope things get sorted in Mumbai. 🆒😎👍!
Yeah fingers crossed 🤞🏼
Good job 👍👏
My DSRX arrives in couple of weeks can't wait.
Marc, travels, my friend how are you❤🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Marc, another great video. I know-that I would not be any good in the crazy traffic that you’ve going through. Couldn’t handle the no traffic rules . We see that with a lot of Indian drivers here in Australia until they learn that here we have rules and you have to obey them or pay huge fines. Once they understand that concept they usually become good drivers. Money talkes Eh !! . A good friend once told me it’s not the problems you have that brings you down, it’s how you solve them that lifts you back up. And you ARE a problem solver. Good work mate and good luck 👍
you the man marc!
Hi Marc, durch einen Zufall bin ich auf Deinen Kanal gestoßen. Das ist ja ein Superabenteuer, Deine Reise durch Länder, die für mich unbekannt sind. Deine Reportagen sind lebendig und authentisch, absolut realitätsnah. Es freut mich, dass sich Zero endlich bereit erklärt, Dir zu helfen. Eigentlich eine Selbstverständlichkeit. Ich hoffe die lesen das und können Deutsch. Ich fahre eine Zero SRS, aber im Wesentlichen nur in Europa, da gibt es genug Ladestationen. Ich drück Dir die Daumen, dass Deine tolle Reise positiv weiter gehen wird. Freue mich schon auf weitere Videos von Dir!!!
Super freut mich total! Danke fürs mitfahren 😉
I loved that music you played at 32:16
Me too ❤️
Hope you come to visit South India too. Stay safe bro!!
I never heard about Zero bikes and your video indeed made me curious to check the bike and probably even buy one because of your videos. If Zero bikes guys are reading this message, it will be great if you guys sponsor and support Marc with his journey. It is sad that the company doesnt appreaciate a unique experience provided by Marc of a product they sell. Good luck Marc and thanks for the wonderful videos.
Zero to be honestly is performing quite decent. Quite a good range it has, it’s fast enough and showed its off roading capabilities too.
I will be waiting to see what happened with the charging unit. Did they fix it or not. If they didn’t then mark should probably think about buying a gas powered bike. Or probably get in touch with some of the brands in India. Am pretty sure they will be happy to give away a bike and some sponsorship too.
I guess that Mark should be around eastern India as of today or maybe already crossed over border.
Yes Zero understands that you are the best advertising they can get! I hope my spamming of there fb groups helped.
Hehe awesome man 😅
I've been riding for years never considering an electric bike, until I watched your videos.
Thanks
Hii Marc!! One day TH-cam recommended your channel and since then cant get over your vlogs..keep travelling
That’s so awesome to hear❤️
Marc, about your body pains on the bike....you need what they call here in the USA a 'Seat shave'. A good bike shop will take your seat and shave and shape and pad your seat for long term comfort. Look into that!
Whoop you have the start of a relationship. Go EVE. 👏🤞
Such a wonderful view of statue❤
So great 🙌🏼
Marc, I think maybe Zero is finally figuring out the monumental task you are undertaking while using THEIR product. It just makes sense to help you. At least to me it makes sense. But I"m here watching all the years you will be uploading in the upcoming years and cheering you on in every episode!
Do visit Mahabaleshwar and Kaas plateau in Satara Maharashtra.
Nice to hitchhike.
Super crazy journey, on a sportsbike also.. no wonder the knees are a bit fucked.. :)
Yeah knees are destroyed already 😅🙈
Hey @Mark , Good going buddy, you are changing the angle of view about touring on an EV bike. It's really cool to see that and you are proving that EV does have the capability to be a tourer machine.
Luckily TATA has started opening EV charging stations all over India recently and it's a massive country to build this network for a single company. There are other companies who make ev bikes like Ather, OLA, Ultraviolett and they have their own charging network, but I doubt they only provide charging to their specific bikes only. But I hope in a couple of years things will be different and ev charging stations will be available as more as normal fuel stations.
I wish you a happy journey. If you plan to come to Kolkata city then let me know, we can meet.
Wooo-hooo!!! Congratulation on the relationship! It sounds like a good start, and hopefully will grow to benefit everyone!
Great (and long) trip this time. Question: when you visited the Statue of Unity, why were other vehicles allowed to pass the guard stations without stopping? That seemed strange.
Hope you didn’t suffer with the flu for long.
Take care, mate.
Ride safe.
Ride smart.
Have fun!
Yeah good question, I don’t know. Maybe special permissions
What a ride that was.. Great❤
Glad you liked it
I own 2022 Zero S, 4600 miles on it. It's a fantastic bike and overlooked by pretty much everyone else. I love the lightweight but there's no support for it after the fact and that's disappointing. The DSRX looks awesome, but the support on my current motorcycle makes me question whether I would buy another Zero. It's great to hear that's coming around. They are wonderful motorcycles.
Yeah love eve ❤️
India is very beautiful as you go south.
Yes 🙌🏼
@@MarcTravels ❤️👍🖐️
Or as u go east, or even as u go extreme north
Hey Marc,
good idea to stop smoking.👍
And off Course you have too continue your jorney on an electric bike!
Only a switch to an energica would be acceptable.😉
Greetings from home.
⚡🏍
We really love to watch your videos..We all love to see you everyday ❤. In our country we always say Guest is just like a God🎉🎉
Thanks man 🤙🏼
safe journey,,,,,🙌🙌
U missed out by not going inside statue, there's cool high-tech lashed museum beneath it & u can go all the way to the top inside the statue & have a great view, there's also helicopter ride & water boating on two types boat (double decker & mono hull) in narmada river beside statue that for 45minutes take u on ride to dam, several hills, beautiful sites & views of nature.
Finally some support from Zero. Good on you! and Zero... 👏
Yeah let’s see if it works out…tbc
