It was a pleasure to help ! If you come to visit Switzerland with Raya, come say hi !
Louis, you mention your tiredness, you are forgetting that your body is still recovering from surgery. It is a minimum of 6 weeks for surgery to fully heal.
I keep thinking this every time he dropped the bike! Louis you’re healing from a hernia, you need to be careful so it doesn’t ever happen again!
‘I’m going to continue to say bonjour to cows, that was my main concern’
I need this on a shirt asap 😂 best thing ever!!!
Louis, I think you like the chaos. I think you thrive on it. When I think about your bus trip from New York to Costa Rica, I remember total chaos. I also remember how you seemed to love it. This isn’t a criticism. I wish I was more like you.
It's pretty awesome isn't it. We get to live vicariously thru Louis eyes while he goes thru the 💩 I am learning so much from Louis. The guy rocks. It's a great channel 🏍️🌚
Enough sleep is essential for me to function. Without 8 hours I am just miserable. When I was a young mom, my husband could get by on very little sleep. He got up when our babies cried, changed them & brought them to me in bed for nursing. Some nights I barely woke up at all. Haha Then I took the day shift. He came home from work, ate & slept for 5 or so hours uninterrupted. I seriously don't know how single parents cope. Congratulations to ALL parents for making it work!!
For the tight corners on the bike - sounds obvious but make sure you are looking in the direction you want to go. May seem tempting to look at the handlebars to focus on the turn but your sight will guide the bike. This is how it's taught for motorcycle training in figure of 8's.
Another great video. Worth securing your luggage cover a bit better so it doesn’t blow around so much. It will cause more drag (so you use more critical elec power) and it could pull you around more and blow you off course.
You are 41 years old now Louis, energy can no longer be taken for granted. You do need rest, afternoon poppa naps are a valuable thing.
😂 too funny! 40s are still young yesrs😅
@@sandracambray1452 aaah you get it 😁
It's incredible to see your perseverance through such challenging weather conditions. It's inspiring to see their resilience and ability to adapt to the changing circumstances. A true reminder of the importance of planning and preparation for outdoor adventures, especially in unpredictable weather.
I love this series!!! Good luck Louis ❤
I can’t believe you’ve done all this riding right after having a double hernia surgery. You are stronger than I am. And thank you for the beautiful videos.
16:27 You totally got me hooked there, Louis! 🤠
I must thank you for sharing this series of videos.
You brought me back some (now) lovely memories.
We did attept and eventually succeeded a 900 km trail, from Novara {Piedmont} all the way to Rome. Two riders on push bikes no power assistance. Soon after the COVID restrictions were lifted up. The month was July (incredible heat all the way). We could ride only 3 hours early mornings and 3 late afternoons. The journey lasted 21 days. We also had to cross a 2100 meters high mountain (Apennines). We were primarely using campsites for overnight stays but also several wildness tent pitches.
We were carrying a load of 60 kg each. A mammoth task but, apart from food, we were carrying with us everything needed and (on reflection) probably more.
Good luck and best wishes on your trek. God speed to you.
6:44 that's such a cute level crossing! on a roundabout too, a rail nerd's dream
Loving the series, always looking out for the next one to be released!
Ive come back to this channel after 10 years, please do more series like this, its so entertaining!
When you have gone over rough roads, love your sound effects when you hit a bump. Also, I have a feeling that your little songs you sing are coming out of boredom on a long drive and probably tiredness. I find myself doing the same thing under those conditions. Haha! Nice job pushing through…. That’s not easy when you’re tired.
Really enjoying the adventure. I think you should charge up when you pass thru a good-sized town even if you have 50%. Better than getting to 15% in the middle of nowhere
I was thinking that two but he was only there a sort time. Although her probably could have gotten a dozen percent maybe.
We all love you Louis! Love your series !
Some may call you crazy, some brave, I'd call it adventurous. What is an adventure without anxiety, excitement and the fervour of new places.
Top tip for going around corners look where you want to go.
FunForLouis, always on the go,
Turns life's adventures into a show,
From deserts to peaks, with a daring spin,
He makes the world feel like our own backspin!
Love this series Louis! Just please stop including you saying 'hey siri' in your videos! It sets timers on our devices too 😂
i think that's funny :) most of my house has android devices and my iPhone cant hear this video so im good.
Loving this adventure. Do agree that sleep is so important.
Wind and rain are important factors when traveling by car as well mate. Sidewind when overtaking a truck can literally swipe you off road in a van.
Louis you MUST upload more often man!
I cant handle waiting so long for the next episode 😢
He ran out of power 🔋 😅
Or he was out of cell range on the journey.
He does need to sleep too, be patient
You have no idea what the man has to go through just for us to see this video. Next time am sure he will be carrying Starlink!
Julie Andrews would be so honored. Love the series!!!!!
I have not watch this channel in several years. Louis still looks the same. He has not aged at all.
I find that I’m getting to know you better from your trip. You are genuinely kind. Prayers for continued safe traveling and a glorious reunion with your loves! Sweden & Italy are spectacular
You can get waterproof motorcycle gloves with all the protection and dryness in the rain. There is also a line of waterproof bike gear mainly goes by the handle of Gor Tex. Then you don't have to worry about being wet.
Loved the video, your route through Switzerland was the same as i took earlier this year, brought back so many memories.
I always look forward to these videos. Will be sad when it's all over.
Louis the sleep thing is correct. I struggle with it too. I don’t have any trouble sleeping, just don’t make enough time for it. I enjoy having my own company so tend to go to bed too late. Definitely feel better after a long sleep though so it’s something I’m also trying to change.
Have really enjoyed this series.
Last summer I was riding a 40 year old motorcycle across the USA from east to west, and there was one day where it absolutely poured rain all day long, I rode from 8 in the morning to 6 that night in a terrible downpour, no rain gear. I was absolutely soaked from head to toe and my bike was not running very well in the rain, something was getting wet that is not happy getting wet. So I can relate to the rain riding!
I hope you check the charger on the batteries before the night.
enjoying this series, thank you!!! Although I fear that there is no way you can do 160 in one day considering the proven range thus far on the trip. If I were you, I would have taken some time to mail the solar panels and battery back home, there is no point in carrying it. All the best, can't wait for the next episode!!!
I love how concerned you are that the cows understand you 😂❤
I love this series, hope you stay safe and make it to italy on time .
Ship your solar panels home and lighten the load on the bike!
I don't understand why you start your day so late ! 8am ?? Bro you could go to bed at 10h30pm like you said wake up at 5/530 and just be on the road by 6/630. You'll be able to make a lot more mileage...
There are the following factors: Louis has to get sleep. For example 4 hours are not enough. The battery does only a limited amount of miles. Charging needs a lot of time. Actually the battery is supposed to be charged by solar power. This only works during the day and it must be sunny. Solar is not really working and it's not realistic, so that charging must be at usual charging points.
wow Louis well done, keeping going like this is amazing, rest up
Hi Louis, love this series... from canada.
When there are flowers I think of it as a meadow rather than a field.
Totally get what you're saying about sleep. I'm the same definatly don't prioritise it as much as I should
Someone needs to make a compilation of Louis saying hello to the cows in French 🤣
You’re absolutely smashing it riding in the rain on two wheels… I always found that a challenge when I had bikes.
Louis, you are right about sleep. It is essential for good health and for heart health. You are still recovering from surgery and pushing your body very hard. Your diet is not great either. When your trip is over, your body is likely to demand a big rest. Please give it whatever it needs then.
Im in Australia , enjoying your video and your unique style. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🐄💦🛵❤
Reducing wind drag on two wheeler, slip back as much comfortable to you and make effort to lower your torso and head towards the handle bar. Imaging how racer bikers are positioned on their bike. You can make your ride 40% efficient doing this. There will be little discomfort with balancing while moving hence move only as much it makes you comfortable. Every inch/cm you lower your torso, head down counts.
I do notice you have lots of luggage on the rear seat so will be difficult to do so but when I ride my scooter I am almost on my rear passenger seat when going above 30 kmph. That is the reason I never have girlfriends, they occupy the rear seat and then you loose your transport efficiency.
Way to go Louis! What an awesome adventure so far! 🛵
🎶The Hills are Alive......🎶 😆😆
You are on the home stretch now Louis woohoo! I’m loving this series 🛵💛
Damn, Louis was driving my favourite brand of electric scooter, what a coincidence!!!
Loving this series. Great job Louis!!!
You need a shield for your helmet, that’s much more comfortable than the goggles.
Sleep does do wonders. I totally think you should strive for more sleep. Like you say, it's one of the many steps in becoming a better person. It's so perceptive of you to come to this realization.
Louis, you are the best!
The whole bit at the beginning about wanting to be polite to the cows and speak their language. Yes. 😂
I feel you on the sleep mate! Low dose of Melatonin really helps me to knock out for 7/8 hours so I feel rested but staying in a routine is the hard part for me!
100% I need more sleep like you’re saying Louis! But, instead I’m staying up late watching Fun with Louis! 😂😂
Having loose fabric flapping in the wind will destroy mileage. They even design most electric cars with retractable doorhandles and no rear view mirrors (pinhole cameras instead) to reduce air drag.
All that flapping fabric is basically the equivalent of losing the energy equivalent of slapping your hands together several times a second.
For a cyclist going downhill, you will gain more speed if you lay perfectly horizontal on top of the bicycle, than by staying in an upright position putting 300 watts of power into the pedals as human energy.
"Cyclist goes Superman"
you need a wind turbine in the front, you have all the wind you need 😆
Pouring boiling water from a pan with your hand right below it doesn't seem to wise
I'm really enjoying your trip. I'm 78 and this would be impossible for me. Thanks!
Love this adventures👍👍 keep up louis😅
Yes Louis, sleep is so important. I get anxiety when I don't get enough quality sleep. This isn't good as on saturday i'm doing the Lupine Travel Race Across Europe from London to Albania in 7 days using just public transport :-)
Bravo - Keep up the great work!
Love video
Wooo another episode! :D
It's good to see you happy!! 🥳🥳🥳
They speak Swiss German, French, Italian and Romansh in Switzerland.
the googling to know how to address the cows is so pure 😅
This is a great adventure to watch , really enjoying it , peace ✌️
Love this series but also loved the VW series with your dog.
18:59 I think you're right. I have an electric mobility scooter and I do that!
Can't wait for next part of your journey
We don’t want to wait lol 😢 post the next one. 😂
Bruh! Stop saying hey siri 😂😂😂😂😂
You are the legend mate
But please prioritize your sleep as you said
And definitely one day, I will visit Switzerland 🇨🇭 for a long trip, love those mountains ⛰️
I miss my country, Nepal 🇳🇵
Commenting from Portugal 🇵🇹
Lots of love ❤️ and wishing you the best, ride safe mate ✌️
You need to take naps during the day and a natural sleep aid at night. Great edge of the seat series.
Epic thumbnail
I am really enjoying your content, as always 😊
A thought on the sleep issue, often you talk about living almost a double life, a full day of fun and adventures with the family and then you settle down to work overnight. Perhaps a habit from your daily vlogging time. Maybe live only one day and make sure 12-6am is sleep. There is no need to work overnight when you post weekly. You are a working Dad and it’s normal for Dads to be at work during the day.
Go visit the Goetheanum in Dornach near Basel. Worldwide HQ for the Anthroposophical Society and one of the great buildings of Europe.
Really enjoying your trip to Italy 😎👍 and your electric scooter
Love that down hill regen 😂
Ive noticed over the years how you tie up you hair in like 2 seconds and im god damn impressed every time it looks cool as idk why its just hair 😅😅
why do you press breaks? doesn't it has Regen?
Love the videos wish there was more
Have you watched all the older stuff?
@@mickstrick_91 sad but yes … yes I have since I was a kid
@@darren6831 not sad IMO :)
Fantastic vid as always, but I’m finding this series very stressful lol. It’s also put me off buying an electric vehicle!! 🚗 ⚡️
Mate were is the next video waiting way to long tho I need to find out what's next haha good luck buddy 👍
How respectful of you to speak to the cows in their native language. :)
He never says muuuh 😢🐮
I live in Geneva, switzerland, would love to have you guys here, i have a spare bedroom for your guys!
As a petrol head biker this was seriously hilarious man! Chapeau.
I’m one week after having the same surgery. I can’t wait to not feel so tired.
They also speak Italian in Switzerland in the Ticino canton
Yes…we all need sleep. Take care of yourself. ❤
Crikey mate, 2M subs already. Well done sir.
How are you so entertaining all on your own??😂😂😂
Excellent. I'm enjoying watching your epic trip.
Yes, loving this series! Edge of seat stuff :)
