WE TRIED TO GET FROM LONDON TO BRIGHTON ON AN ELECTRIC SKATEBOARD & E-BIKE - 60 MILES!

EV Channels Review

This video documents an ambitious 60-mile journey from London to Brighton undertaken on personal electric vehicles, specifically an electric skateboard (Lacroix Lonestar) and two electric bikes (WAU bike and a DIY Bafang mid-drive). The expedition was fraught with challenges, including mechanical failures like a lost pedal bolt and battery connection issues, alongside the demanding terrain and scorching weather. Despite these setbacks, the reviewer highlights the enjoyment and freedom these vehicles offer for longer trips, contrasting it with city commuting. The Lacroix Lonestar is praised for its reliability and performance, requiring only minor maintenance. The WAU bike is noted for its impressive range and efficiency, even when using the throttle extensively. The DIY bike also managed the distance, albeit with some issues. Ultimately, the journey, though significantly longer than planned due to breakdowns and charging stops, was deemed a success and a testament to the capabilities of personal electric vehicles for adventure, concluding with a positive overall experience and a desire for more such trips.
