We tried to get from LONDON to BRIGHTON on an Electric Skateboard & E-Bike - 60 Miles!

Hey I'm 57 years old and even I think this is super cool. 😎

[@WashingtonSound]

Glad you enjoyed Fred 🙏🔥

[@WashingtonSound]

Damn forgot my helmet. Don't do that at home kids 💀💀 P. S this was knackering so hope you enjoy 🙏🔥❤️

[@xchopp]

Now that we have this tech, it raises the hairy question: why do we let people drive a 1-ton+ beastie and take up all that public street space for just one person? Maybe make every dual carriageway 1 lane for cars and 1 for PEVs and pedal bikes? Also, get those "bike lanes" sorted: wider, smoother, perleeze.

[@andrewfoskett2527]

Great vid! This could be Electric Top Gear 😉

[@WashingtonSound]

Hahaha, we'll take that 😉😂

[@qg786]

I would love to do that. The scenery itself is well worth it.

[@jamie-meanskunk]

[@WashingtonSound]

Super necessary 🔥👌

[@Simonisms]

Great vid 👍 You lads should get electric unicycles for your long trips. They can do 100 miles on a charge

[@WashingtonSound]

Thanks! Agreed, look out for this it might be coming soon 😉👌

[@peterjohnson724]

Wow, I didn't know that about the range. I probably shouldn't be harbouring thoughts about a unicycle at age 67!

[@Simonisms]

@@peterjohnson724 You're never too old. I started riding an EUC at age 52 and know riders who are over 70. If you can ride a bicycle you can learn euc 👍

Would love to join you guys on your next adventure.. please organise an event for the whole community of us to go with you next time that would be an amazing experience..

[@jamie-meanskunk]

That will be a good idea I’m up for this

[@Zexion0the0great]

Events are organised within the main UK esk8 community on Facebook "Carve Electric UK" This ride was posted a couple of weeks in advance, and is one of the many many rides and events that get organised by the community.

Decent electric skateboard that. I genuinely love it. Love skateboards love EVs

[@bigtoe333333]

Fantastic vid guys, really entertaining to watch you overcome the challenges, and a real sense of an adventure. 60 miles on these vehicles - that's proper hardcore. You should try moving house using one of those tern load carrier bikes, or do some train/bike touring up in beautiful scotland. Maybe it would be worth organising a mass rally of escooters to do a 5 or 10 miles trip through London in protest of these mad penalties?

[@WashingtonSound]

All great ideas Tony, thanks for your support 🙏❤️

[@chukidee6634]

Fab video, looks amazing leisurely fun. I really hope in future that Electric skateboards (aka e-boards, long boards) and EUC (electric unicycles) get the proper legal ok here in the UK. E-scooters are almost certain to in 2022. 5:08 - competitiveness with 'manual' cyclists 7:02 - hmm sounds like you were replicating a certain Grime artist's voice?? (the bit when you say "I ain't talking football") 13:03 - the nicest chilled part of the video, an e-skateboard on a picturesque quiet country road with the sun shining 👌

[@WashingtonSound]

I'm impressed, especially with the fact you picked up on the Prez T reference. Respect 👏🔥

[@twotwofresh]

Absolutely superb, great things ahead love to you do a journey again and add an e-scooter with 50/60 mile range #Londonlovesyou

[@kryptickilla5834]

Love the video! It’s a madness though, stumbled across your video as I’m looking to buy an e board. You literally went past my house! Lol that Gatwick straight is so bad for cyclists etc, had so many near misses there! Maybe see you go past again soon aha

[@kryptickilla5834]

Also I have so many questions about legality etc, anywhere I can find what I need? Looking to get an e board setup and use around redhill where I work.

Yeah some of the roads took us by surprise that's for sure 😁

[@LostLombax]

Great vid lads. I'm in the early stages of planning a long distance challenge ride for charity. I could use some expertise. I want to work out how many miles I can safely expect to do in a day so I can plan stops etc. so you said it took you 12 hours. How much of that was riding times and how much was stops?

[@TriviaChallenge]

No hassle from the old bill?

Not this time 😅😅🔥

[@daviddenley3512]

Let's face facts, I'd be willing to bet the following: Illegal, Dangerous for Pedestrians, No Insurance either! Me a kill joy? I loath folk who completely ignore safety. No, not your safety but other people.

[@gnrriffs]

I LOATH folks Who give up Freedom for safety.........Everything in life is Risky #LiveDangerously #LiveFree

[@Zexion0the0great]

Illegal? Really, I highly doubt you have looked into every law for the classification of a motor vehicle and the loop holes that exist. Put purely and simply, because the boards were never "designed, modified or adapted for use on road" they don't get classified as a motor vehicle. Now if you were to say we were a danger to ourselves and those around us, you would be onto the right point for us being illegal, however since we are not on pavements and those of us on boards all had helmets, we were clearly not endangering ourselves. Do people think this is illegal because they assume it is? Yes! Could uneducated police pull you over as they don't know every nuance of the law? Yes! Have people gotten out of points and fines by appealing in court? Yes! I understand it circumvent the "spirit of the law", but the law is wooded in a very specific and very technical way, to prevent abuse, which in itself allows for abuse. Law enforcement should spend their time cracking down on large companies exploiting loopholes, people actually commiting real crimes, and other more series stuff than the few riders on boards enjoying themselves.

[@georgewalker7061]

@@Zexion0the0great but the electric skateboards do not have loopholes as those that have been prosecuted know.

[@paulcostache6733]

Skateboards ridden sensibly are the least pedestrians have to worry about kill joy… If push bikes are legal so should these be. And simply prosecute the idiots, don’t punish all before committing any crime.

since you kept saying Bristol why not do Bristol to Cardiff
