The world of Travel Vlogging has changed since A Long Way Round/Down. I have a lot more fun watching people on Youtube like C90Adventures for example. This just feels overproduced, rushed, no soul.... just a marketing campaign for Electric.The world of Travel Vlogging has changed since A Long Way Round/Down. I have a lot more fun watching people on Youtube like C90Adventures for example. This just feels overproduced, rushed, no soul.... just a marketing campaign for Electric. Which isn't really effective as it's clear Electric Motorbikes are not up to the task. They're constantly out of juice, with nowhere to charge, even when they do it's 7 hours charge time... which never works out because the Bikes complain they're too cold. What is really funny though is they have a few backup Vans that run on Diesel, and have two spare Electric Bikes in them. I didn't know watching the program, but then searching for information afterwards, you rewatch and see them in the background hidden. Some edits where they go"Only 47 mile range" and somehow they did 100+ miles that day.... well they obviously switched Bikes and didn't tell you. The whole Journey is about these Bikes that end up using more Diesel and Petrol due to the support they need. They could have used a lot less just taking the BMWs with no support Diesel Vans, without the need of flying emergency parts over just so they can charge. The journey would have been about the journey, rather than where to charge the whole time. Electric vehicles like the Rivian's are almost there, they have the range because they're so big. However Electric Bikes cannot carry a big enough battery... they're never going to work. That's fine, we don't need a world with only one technology, we can have a mix, Motorbikes can stay using Petrol. They brought the original cameraman back, but he never speaks in the whole thing. They never really mix with the locals... just a few seconds of footage of them shaking their hand, then they cannot wait to ignore them. Youtube has given us people who can do it 24/7 and make a living, these people are more compelling.… Expand
