TransforMOTION | Fully Charged

[@gmankono]

SO BRILLIANT!!! This show gives me such hope & excitement for the future. Thanks TONS to all the Fully Charged crew & cast for such excellent segments.

[@JohnComeOnMan]

Jonny is great to watch. A good blend of seriousness and humor.

[@robinbennett5994]

Plus, in the head-and-shoulders close ups, his jumper looks like a star trek uniform ;-)

[@anthonycbrown1952]

He has a very special talent and would love to see him more. He has very strong communication skills.

[@juelzbaylor9511]

i know Im randomly asking but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I love any help you can offer me!

[@ledgeradan9495]

@Juelz Baylor instablaster :)

[@stevenfrazier8939]

Jonny and Robert are great presenters backed up by great camera work and good sound, its like watching a high budget TV show. This channel should have 1 million subscribers.

[@fullychargedshow]

Thank you, we're getting there (1 million subs) but it's going to take a few years.

[@martyplay1000]

Favourite moment, 10min32sec: Johnny- "Is this like the Trabant of the motorbike world...?" Cue tumbleweed. Cue wind, whistling. Cue everybody freezing in the Bosch display tent... Johnny (in full on Hugh Grant mode)- "No... which is... no, it's...like an icon, it's a... cult... thing. (pause) I like Trabants". Lovely stuff guys.

[@4431705]

Yeah, that was classic 'crickets' moment. :-)

[@jwvandegronden]

beautiful breakdown of that moment :D But it is generally known Trabants have their own cult status, right? I know some avant garde artists who fell in love with Berlin and those wheels. Pretty cool reference

[@martyplay1000]

Absolutely. Trabant's definitely have a very well deserved cult status.

[@Jakob_DK]

I recall the trabants on the autobahn in october of 1989, full of families starting a new life in freedom. To me they were a vehicule to freedom.

[@kyle8952]

Exciting freedoms like €€€€ high rents, seeing your social system dismantled and unemployment.

[@pebre79]

The lego-like components that the Bosch lady showed reminded me of what Open Source Ecology is trying to do. Really cool how they want to make scaling up easy with standard parts

[@michaelk-b9057]

I think its fair to say two things, Electric is no longer a hope or a dream its a reality, Fully Charged is the foremost magazine show in the world that comments fairly and knowledgeably about the topic! thank you Rob and Johnny and everyone behind the camera your show is absolutely brilliant

[@Dave-in-France]

Another great video from Fully Charged. I find it fascinating and inspiring to see how electric transportation in all it's forms is taking off. Ferries one minute, bikes the next - JUST GREAT.

[@sandipan17]

Amazing video.. As a part of Bosch, I feel proud to have worked on some of these components

[@juncedan]

Jonny Smith brings experience and professionalism to an already great autosport magazine. LOVE THIS, please MORE

[@sirierieott5882]

Loved the way Andrea stroked the motorcycle seat.... Also another great episode from The Fully Charged crew.

[@TorstenSchommer]

Wonderful video, thanks for the report, Jonny. Andrea was wonderful, and she showed how passionate you can be if you're convinced of your product.

[@per2]

fully charged quality is getting better and better and its already on very high level, keep it up guys, i love it!

[@previouslyachimp]

Excellent video Jonny, thanks very much to you, your talented crew, and the wonderful Andrea.

[@JohnHodder]

These videos are just getting better and better. Absolutely fantastic Fully charged! Don't know where the other 800k Subs are?!? The video quality and B-roll is awesome, keep it up!

[@PaulSmith-cl2kf]

Great presentation Jon and Andrea from Bosch was excellent.

[@broknsword23]

Wow, I'm searching for all those eAxle / eAchse articles I could find and of course fullycharged delivers a first hand experience. You are such a great source for all things electric! Very well done! My idea is to retrofit one of the eAxle to a '82 VW T3 van to power the front axle. Make it a diesel-electric hybrid. Just a small electric engine in the front to move around the city. Saving the original 35 year old diesel engine on short routes. Using the diesel for the long road trips between cities to charge the battery for smooth and quiet rides through the city center.

[@carpenterfamily6198]

Wonderful info - thank you so much ! And yes, it did not hurt one bit that Andrea was so fun, high energy and attractive. Plus she was smart as a whip and knew the Bosch products very well. 👍👍👍

[@normangebhardt2092]

The innovation and speed in which new electric mobility products are coming to market in Europe is amazing. Not including Tesla where is the innovation in the US? Thanks Jonny Smith for another great video. Also saw Robert today on video being interviewed at another event in London. You both really get around and make an excellent team.

[@normangebhardt2092]

Yes its great but try to buy one if you dont live on the west coast. Its not yet available in most states. The hyperloop is moving forward now since a large investment has been made by billionaire Richard Branson an english business man. There is a new high speed Japanese train that is going to be built from Houston Texas to Dallas. Thats all good. All Im saying is that it seems some American companies are not moving as fast as other parts of the world toward supporting new mobility innovations. Dont want to see the US fall behind.

[@DavidKnowles0]

Richard Branson is about the worst technology investor on the planet through. Name one new technology he has managed to successfully bring to market. Even Virgin Galactic seem to be going nowhere fast.

[@normangebhardt2092]

You are correct. Am worried about the US not keeping up with the rest of the world.

[@ferryengr]

Very impressive. Bosch not only demonstrated excellent products, but also exhibited quality staff to explain the whys and wherefores behind the products. Good job!

[@inurear]

The production quality and deep dive of these presentations are incredible. Oh... and so is the technology. wow.

[@paulj3625]

love Jonny's reviews, very interesting, like the modular setup from Bosch.

[@darkbyte2005]

Just another excellent example of quality video production from fully charged crew....

[@B0BHW]

Excellent presentation Jonny. Bosch are clearly ahead of the game with these scaleable components. Electric motorbike? I so want one!

[@ThePoesn]

The show is getting better and better. Love both hosts. Really nice.

[@janvanrees7055]

Great view on what`s to come and with Jonny as the journalist/presenter you can`t go wrong.

[@paulyh4531]

Superb video , nice to see everyone getting in on the act with electric motors and bosh considering they have been making electrical stuff in cars for years deff onto a winner 👍

[@BigPowerAL]

Jonny and Robert are top notch hosts. Another high quality show.

[@AMomcilo1]

These videos are getting better and better. Keep up the good work. I remember the Shwalba when I lived in Hungary.

[@crimsontiger6]

11:20 "A bit more power" nudge, nudge, wink wink Johnny.

[@Mavthemeat]

crimsontiger6 her face was awesome when she said that too!!

[@funny-video-YouTube-channel]

Did take a ride in this bus. It's a nice an easy ride. The bus is also affordable, much cheaper than the high end luxury cars.

[@lewispearson]

Fantastic video, great editing and overall a very calm and informative style.

[@davidcao5423]

Was just about the log off for the day and what is this? A new video from Fully Charged? Amazing!

[@MarcCoteMusic]

This is great! I really like these longer format, more comprehensive videos.

[@pyrogenius69]

Great episode. Fascinating stuff from Bosch and you should hire Andrea to join the team. Great on screen presence and chemistry with Jonny. A female co-host would give a different perspective. Could even be a specific Bosch sponsored series of episodes.

[@blxtothis]

The Easymile made by Ligier, that’s some change from building all out racing cars, never realised they were still in business and have been making electric vehicles for years, good for them! Another entertaining and informative show, well done guys.

[@zenzen9131]

WOW Bosch certainly have their act together on this one. If I had any spare money this range of stuff is certainly to be a good investment in my book.

[@dangerousdavros]

Zen Zen good job too. After all Bosch basically killed the diesel market (which in my eyes is a good thing). It was their diesel FIE that caused the VW scandal. Their engineers would have designed the emission mapping. Glad they did. This stuff looks great. Shame it’s not yet being offered to after market as conversion kits.

[@MsSomeonenew]

Hopefully we will see something similar to RC components, where manufacturers are making comparable and interchangeable pieces so you can put together any power system you want from the best on offer.

[@DavidKnowles0]

May be that was their plan, kill the diesel market an then fly in to save the day with their own electric car solutions.

[@Agent-000-0]

You have to keep in mind, the people from Bosch in this video are not normal marketing idiots. Their job is to sell these complex systems to other industrial users. You can't use booby barbies and business clowns for this. That's why this all sounds nice, cause they know what they are talking about. BTW, the car which was shown is real: www.e-go-mobile.com/en/models/e.go-life/ It was developed at the university campus in Aachen and a lot of the team members worked on the streetscooter before: www.streetscooter.eu/ (soory, seems there is no Englisch version)

[@TomK32]

I have a 1968 Schwalbe (in Porsche Yellow, just for fun) and it's great. Good news the finally have the electric one on the market. First I heard about the plan to go electric was years ago.

[@ryananthony8543]

All of your soundtracks are heavenly

[@fineartz99]

Well done all. // We English-speakers should brush-up on our French and German. // And once again, brilliantly produced video.

[@sosedated08]

Best show on KZbin!

[@SD-tj5dh]

She wasn't happy with the trabant association.

[@bernardfinucane2061]

Or maybe she just didn't understand him and was trying not to say "What did you say?" The Germans pronounce the word with the accent on the second syllable and a long drawn out A, and Johnny kind of swallowed the second syllable.

[@MsDex2000]

trabant is not car, trabant is shit,but from then industry menager perspective given task is to make a car for 4 people,with awerage consumption 3-4 lit. without steel ? without almost any ressource in all fields but man power? in very short time...abstract reality ...trabant is a "car" in that reality show ...

[@andrasbiro3007]

I had an accident in a Trabant, but fortunately the speed was low, so nobody was injured. And I don't think ours ever managed to get above 100 kph, so testing it's top speed wasn't an issue. And you really felt the speed, it was very loud and vibrated like crazy (two-stroke engine), so you didn't want to drive fast anyway. And it was barely able to accelerate (26hp engine). That made it much safer, it was hard to go fast enough for lethal accidents.

[@TerraPosse]

@ Harry M: They weren't quite that bad. I was a passenger in an accident once with 5 of us in a Trabant. Hitting a boar at about 70 kph. We all walked away shaken but unscathed including the boar. The Trabant on the other hand was a write-off. Between 110 and 125 kph was a normal top speed for Trabants. We were just as prolific at breaking speed limits back then with Trabants as we are today. And the fuzz was just as diligent, if somewhat more inept, at catching us doing it.

[@IntoTheOrdinary]

"...and this is a really posh tent." XD Love this channel.

[@Aldrinkun]

11:25 A swift, yet POWERFUL look. A shy smile. Body Language is key.

[@h2opower]

Nice show guys and I will concur that your show is starting to truly stand out among the rest. I hope to get a chance to meet you all one day when I get this water for fuel technology up and running properly for as of right now the only thing holding me back is getting the materials I need in a timely fashion. It's going to be very exciting once things are up and running as this hasn't been done since the late 90's.

[@RichardCro]

Nice one Jonny really in your element here asking all the right questions.

[@DaveD61]

Fantastic episode! Well done jonny-great delivery

[@petethesparky]

Wow a company rep who actually knew technical stuff about the product! Well done Andrea! Great episode guys :)

[@jena3508]

Good show and refreshing to see people like Andrea, proving tech-minded folk don't have to be so dull! Considering car manufacturers' obsession with crappy-futuristic design, does the eAxle mean I can convert my FR-V in the near future?

[@DRIV3Rno1]

The car at 13:14 is called e.Go Life. It's a german university start- up. Pretty interesting concept as well. It will be produced with a 100k units per year starting in 2018. They offer 3 versions ranging from 16.000 to 20.000 €. More info on their website: www.e-go-mobile.com/en/models/e.go-life/

[@roelf8044]

Fully Charged is absolutely amazing!

[@richardmolby9189]

I love the concept of turning old vehicles into something usable again instead of being trashed. It makes me wonder how practical would it be for someone to do it in a home workshop.

[@JulianWoodsUK]

Excellent show, love Fully Charged

[@paulhendrix8599]

I love resurrecting old vehicles with modern technology. Completely agree.

[@tombarron8741]

I just liked the video without even watching it! love Fully Charged. :)

[@greyareaRK1]

This is the sort of thing I've been really keen on. Electric is ideal for modularisation, which should breed innovation in vehicle design.

[@jorcarmona]

I really enjoy Johny in this show. He is fantastic

[@timothyb7434]

I own an original 2-stroke Simson Schwalbe from 1985 - as much as I love the modernisation of the drivetrain and the fact that there are no emissions: it's prohibitively expensive for a scooter (starts at over 5000€) and I don't see a huge target market. Obviously reliability should be great, but I'll miss being able to 'screw around' and fix things myself. Also - my Schwalbe has more power, range and a top speed of ~65km/h! Seems like a toy for those who can afford it, not a way to get youngsters moving on the cheap. If this changes in the future, I won't hesitate to grab one! Thanks for another great video. - Timothy

[@davidwilliams6602]

Wow the retrofit kit fitted to an existing car sounds great. So all we need now is a company fitting these kits to the existing tx4 black cabs and they'd make a killing. So many drivers don't like the 55 grand price tag of the tx5. Or fit it to the ford tourneo custom or the mercedes vito taxi and the rest of the country would be interested.

[@jimallen199]

great video Jonny I love the direction this technology is going, the more open source modular thinking helps the industry grow beyond the major manufactures. I love the mad inverter types but very little of what they create in their sheds ever gets to be a marketable product. example is that East German scooter if you had to design build & test a drive system from scratch it just wouldn't be viable.

[@jmileshc]

Informative, engaging, visual, delight of engineering goodness. Thank you FC team. Might you consider adding links to the various products etc. Please, cheers.

[@simondotwatts]

I like your laid back presentation style Jonny. 10/10

[@RWBHere]

Haven't seen a Swallow for years, and it's in surprisingly good condition. Who'd have expected one to be electrified? Thanks Johnny.

[@fletcher3913]

It is easy to get excited about the future when you see this technology.

[@Dude31463]

fletcher3913 ... Why not west too?

[@abbaby555]

another great video, so happy I subbed

[@UncleManuel]

Wow, I recognized the Schwalbe even from the thumbnail! It's nice to see an icon of the GDR revived & modernized. At almost 6000 bucks definitely not cheap... ;-)

[@RedBearAK]

"Hell of a day, innit?" That Johnny Cab scene has been one of my favorite quotable scenes of any movie for decades now. But nobody ever gets the reference when I use those lines.

[@torresalex]

The retrofitting is brilliant. I hope ot becomes available shortly!

[@SteveChippyPaine]

Respect to the Bosch rep. here.

[@maxtorque2277]

The comedy bit of the eAxle is that the park brake is the most complex bit of the whole thing!

[@maximilianholland]

Great work Johnny - keep it up mate.

[@javipk7]

very well done bosch ! Off the shelf modular solutions are always very very handy as I use extensively their line Bosch Rexroth. Caveat is that it'll be expensive as usual with german engineering... oh well, can't wait to buy these motors and build cars!

[@kleincamper]

You really should do an episode on the e.go and the thousands of streetscooters that are used by DHL! It's quite amazing what they achieved in the last two years. And i love the Schwalbe! This was my first motorbike 25 years ago.

[@Lawiah0]

Easy Mile could work in conjunction with Uber, call with your smart phone and GPS brings the closest Transport to you, based on destination.

[@iAmTheSquidThing]

Uber are already developing their own autonomous vehicles. They pretty much just see human drivers as a stop-gap solution.

[@0HARE]

Thanks for another excellent video. I really enjoyed it. I must have one of those ELMOTO bikes. It looked perfect.

[@TD94S]

Imagine all the potential DIY projects that could be made! Very neat!

[@RobertWhittaker1]

How much to fit a couple of those motors in to my mk1 yaris?

[@dalem1140]

awesome vid. i,m an ex biker but if i do get another bike it would only be electric.....Exciting and clean future travel

[@bigjobby11]

Well done Jonny, need to see more of you on fully charged.

[@anshumanabhisek]

Great episode. Johny both entertaining and informative, always fun to watch him!! Loved the bg track as well. Any idea what it is?

[@noakeswalker]

I like the retro Schwalbe bike. All that Bosch e-stuff very good too. Also, I had no idea Somerset house was so BIG. Ta Jonny.

[@Split10uk]

Loved it all...very interesting and forward thinking. Big shame none of it is made in the UK Come on Britain, start investing in the future!

[@jorgemendez4517]

Bosch is doing a great job and it's heading towards being a serious key component in terms of electric mobility. I just bough an electric scooter, which unsurprisingly, it's powered by a Bosch engine and fed by panasonic batteries. I will be receiving it next week, I cannot be more excited.

[@rwg2626]

Love the Bosch system, the mini bus just makes me feel The future could be a little bit dull but clever

[@philwhitelaw3111]

Amazing. Bosch have looked to the future and fully embraced it. What a fantastic concept, to electrify existing ICE vehicles by replacing fuel tanks with off the shelf battery packs and polluting, noisy petrol engines with clean, quiet motors etc. My head is buzzing with the possibilities.

[@cannavaras]

I'm in love with Andrea....

[@DavidOfWhitehills]

Just don't try and pick her up in a Trabant....

[@MrHSIE]

Same. Beautiful. Love the accent.

[@previouslyachimp]

She was indeed very sweet, and very good at her job.

[@raspberryfury8984]

what job? hand job? flirting?

[@chemapc]

She engaged my internal electrification

[@ShinShinoke]

Good stuff. Did you not have a play on their ebikes? The electric mountain bikes. Bosch's system is probably the most widely used in Europe.

[@UAPJedi]

Have been trying to describe this show to friends that haven’t seen it, best I have come up with ‘Top Tomorrow’s Gear world’!

[@fullychargedshow]

That's a great title, thanks :-)

[@MegaProtius]

does any one thing the e axle is going to make it exspensive to repair if just one of the functions goes wrong eg.gearing or will it be easy more economical to swop whole unit .....good for bosch

[@0tedaCecapS]

Jonny and the spokes people were great.

[@4431705]

That fully integrated E-axle looks interesting. I'm having visions of a Lotus Seven-like sports car with one between the rear wheels and the space where the engine and gearbox used to live full of batteries. Hmmm.

[@bigtrucker26]

do give us a update on the e-motorcycle kits, and the e-axle kits, if I could get them for not too much, then, I could see a couple conversions in the not so distant future...

[@RockieSc]

Nice and interesting. But why use so many gears on the bosh motor axle? More mechanical parts, possible failure. Why not computerize the motorspeed?

[@brh4015]

I think the logic is that they have a lot of experience with those gears and know what they can and can not do. Also I don't think gearbox failure is still a thing. On manuals maybe due to either abuse or widely off chart use pattern.

[@davesav1]

I like the idea of the E-Axle and thinking it would be ideal for the kit car market if battery packs could be made available off the shelf as well.

[@dazadorph45]

Great idea. Just wonder if the elmoto has alot bigger versions, equivalent to a 600 CC motorbike.

[@Ddagaz]

I'm curious about the E-axle. Do you know of any examples of its use? I would love to see it attached to something.

[@cloggsy1971]

Is the Schwalbe coming to the UK? Is this the same Schwalbe who make the tyres?

[@dragonskunkstudio7582]

I been wanting a 50cc equivalent scooter or 2000watt, I see that scooter and I love it.

[@viktor4gub]

Hey Guys!! Another great video! BTW, whats is the name of the eletric city car shown on the video? Thx

[@sig861]

What's the name of the conversion kit they mentioned please . I have an old Peugeot didn't cost much but the head gasket's gone the rest is fine

[@Kris-qb4jk]

This opens up a whole other facet of the electrification movement: "ICE conversions". Fascinating and exciting. Imagine facing the option of totaling your 10 year old ICE car due to a failed transmission or blown engine OR converting it to all electric and driving it for another 100K+ miles. Game changing.
