Long Way Up

If you haven't seen it, check out the new docu-series by Ewan McGregor where he and his best friend drive e-motorcycles from Ushuaia to Los Angeles in three months. Lots of good South America footage.

I fear for the world with electric motorcycles.

These things were meant to be loud, noisy, exhaust making contraptions in the hand of the devil's children!

Artwork in the hands of rebels!

On the other side of the coin, the concept of the journey is quite interesting.

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about how quietly they drive. I like the ability to hear them coming on the road so I don't accidentally cause them harm if I don't see them.

Seems like a rough start having started their journey on electric vehicles in the desolate Patagonia roads and smaller towns with spotty electricity grids. Makes for a dramatic series.

As far as I know, in these cold weather places, batteries don't have the full, posted range or capacity.

Cold = Robs capacity.

Argentina -- good. Harleys and electric motorcycles -- not so much.
