During the journey, the drivers met with many diffculties, charging issue, very bad road condition, plateau-climate, etc.
For charging issue, that's a big problem during the trip, generally, we charging the battery in the close village in advance.
But there is always don't have village or charging station, one time, we take the charging in accumulator from the troops, and it burst since of all batteries charged together.

Thank you for posting the video of your journey. Electric drive looks like its good for lugging slowly through mud and for altitude changes.

Please tell us more about your machines and their technical details. Were the electrical sources for charging of sufficient quality for your chargers? Did you charge more than once per day? What was your battery capacity? How common are electric vehicles on your route?
 
Cool ride Sina.
Sounds like it would have been slow going.

I'd also like to hear about any breakdowns or obstacles you had to overcome.
 
The video doesn't play it's blocked because of the music copyright if you could repost with out music possibly
 
Thank you for reply. I'll updat detailed information later..


:D
 
i would be interested to know how you managed to regularly charge the electric motorcycles while traveling.

what size charger did you use and how were you able to negotiate usage of electric service along the route from local outlets.

is there already an informal network of people who can provide charging outlets? this was all done using 240V 2-3kW chargers that were carried in the van that sagged the tour?

it reminded me of the drive up the canyon of the big Thomson river to our great Rocky Mountain National park.

burst is right if you were charging all of them at the same time. i bet in some villages you were using all the available power they get from the local diesel generator.

so you 'burst' the army generator. i know you were not popular with the army after that.

but truly a great expedition, a lifetime memory. our hearty congratulations to the crew.

was it broadcast back to the homeland by social media over cellphones, and did you have a big following on twitter or wherever you made your trip hang out?
