The Long Way Up

[Richard230]

Guess what? A well-supported electric motorcycle trip from Patagonia to the U.S. Now I wonder where the trip will end.

Where will it end? At the end of the extension cord of course.

They are squeezing everything that they can out of this trip:

It would be good to see them do the Pan American highway with no support team, no 3 back up bikes, no charging team, just another biker with a camera!
Look at Ted Simons Jupiter's Travels for a motorcycle adventure, unsupported and miniscule budget. Cheers John.

Or look at Noraly's adventures in "Itchy Boots". One woman by herself. She traveled through South America, then went over to Europe. No support team. No film crew. Just herself.

There was a fellow who did just that while riding a 2012 Zero exactly like the one that I owned at the time. He rode from New York and ended up somewhere in South America going from place to place bumming 120V power off of anyone he could. Eventually the chassis fell apart and he removed the motor and batteries from the bike and used them to power a houseboat on some random river. I think that was after he met a girl in SA, married her and the last that I heard they were living on the houseboat and using photoelectric cells to power everything.

Attached is a photo of my 2012 Zero, which I gave to my daughter which she rode until it was recalled by Zero in 2017 when they started to catch on fire while being charged. They recalled their entire 2012 vehicle output - about 200 S and DS models. She received $6,200 for her bike when it was recalled.
