Long Way Up

The idea of using electric bikes seemed nice in the beginning but it turn out to be a problem and a boring one as they always were trying to fin a charging point. Seems electric bikes are still a long way to go before they become mainstream in motorcycling. Claudio didn't even use one!, he was on a HD sporter I think. The constant searching for a way to charge became really annoying for viewers in my opinion and prevented them from seeing parts of chile and argentina that were "too far" from a charging point. Also the issue with the range was annoying, 140 miles a day is not really much for such a long trip, I imagine how bored they were most of the day waiting for the bikes to charge. The speed was kind of ludicrous too, riding most of the time at 40 miles per hour to preserve charge in the batteries.

I get the feeling that a lot of the 'bad' reviews have a) never seen the other installments and b) are easily bored. I am *loving* this. They're all driving completely new, prototype machines that have never been driven over such terrain or distances before, learning about them as they go. I think it's so cool that HD and Rivira were able to come up with road-worthy prototypes on such short notice.

The scenery is *fantastic*! Otherworldly. I have never seen such gorgeous views, it's great. And it's so awesome to see Ewan and Charley together again!

Complaints about it being 'scripted' are silly - it was filmed on the fly. Complaints about it being 'too green'....? Get a grip.

An excellent show so far (up to ep six), and I cannot wait to see more of the incredible Americas from the back of a bike!

The epic ride duo (trio if you count Claudio) is back for another journey. This time maybe the toughest of all three long way's. From Tierra del Fuego all the way to L.A. on electric bikes in the Patagonian winter. Even the crew drives electric! Will they make it with their experimental vehicles? This must be an true epic journey for Ewan and Charley

I am on episode 3. i enjoy the scenery of the route they go through, and the sense of adventure. But the electric bike at this stage is really a bad idea, start, stop, worried about charging. The technology may improve in the future, but having to charge everyday and looking for places to charge is really inefficient and unreliable.

Its quite obvious that the petrol heads who live and breath bikes are once again having a tanty over these two guys adventure. Ultimately that's what the show is, these two great friends adventures around parts of the world less travelled and they happen to love bikes.

On the First trip the haters went after them for the fact they had support cars following, on the second trip they got angry that bmw was supporting them with quick air shipment of spare parts, and now they are just angry at the notion of Electric.

well too bad, its pure jealously that the haters dont get to do anything remotely close to a trip like this. they dont seem to understand that the show isn't just about one thing, its not just the bikes, its not just the adventure and its not just about these two guys. Its the whole package, its the planing, the shenanigans, the route, the bikes and the whole crew.

all the people complaining about charging, what did you expect? nobody has done electric adventure like this before on bikes. that's part of why they did it.

Nobody said throw away ur petrol bikes and go full electric right now, everybody knows its going to take decades to get even a small percentage of the world into electric. Some of the destinations dont even have petrol stations so of course charging would be a problem. Both these guys still have many petrol bikes and won't be giving any of them up, yet you all seem to think thy are eco warriors with a green agenda rather than giving them credit for being pioneers in adventure travel.
