I've been following this for a little while. I'm anxious to see it. I think it'll be quite different from the others.

So if I read the article correctly, they had support trucks.   How is this Adventure Riding?   Thought the idea of this type of riding was to be totally independent.   Wow!!

If you are going to show/prove the electric vehicle is cool, do it totally on your own.

Support truck with a generator? With charged power packs?

If you have seen the other shows in this series on Amazon you will know that they are really travel shows more than anything else.  Now, I highly recommend the two previous series, they are quite good; start with “Long Way Round”

You will see being Obi-Wan and having a camera crew with is quite an asset for these kind of trips around the world; quite impossible for the rest of us.

But yet, the struggles are real and not sugar coated; along with the BMW troubles in the first two series.  I expect a somewhat similar review of the Livewire.  Probably not a machine for many on a Valkyrie but I’m tapped into a community that are modifying vintage machines for short in-town transportation.  It is a growing market and these electric machines fit the mold, especially the inexpensive Zero machine.

I look forward to the Amazon series and surely the book.
