Love the way you have the mics hooked up. So good
Sena intercoms are the coolest!
Normally I'd be rambling and raving about where you should have gone, but I haven't been north of Tāmaki-makau-rau either.
So it was like a preview of my next holiday.
So not much to say, just wanted to say something for the algorithm to read.
All hail the algorithm.
😂😎 I appreciate it bro! The algorithm is what keeps me going. I expected Northland to be way more foresty and less farmy, but we foubd some awesome forests on the west coast. Kerikeri was a must! We really want to go back and do the waterfall river walk because it goes for hours. We did a lit but also missed a lot. It's always a compromise. Have fun on your trip!
Paathhhwayyy tooooo theeee KIWI ZONE!
HAHAHAHAHA
Wow Auckland! Ohh wow Kerikeri! Beautiful bay of islands. Hope you got the ferry to Russell? Next time. Great video guys, you rock!⭐️🤙
Thanks Steve! Nah.. we'll go to Russell next time for sure. The road out there looks amazing, and we really want to go back and spend more time up there already. In the next episode we ride our bikes onto a ferry... but not one we planned to!
Cool vid !! Gotta love rapid charge. JFC..... 👀 lmao 🤣
Hahaha they knew what they were doing
Finally got around to seeing this Sam. Loved the video. Brought back memories of my honeymoon years ago. Stayed in Paihia and did the tourist thing in Northland along with visiting Russell. Looks as though charging infrastructure could be heaps better up there. You did this before Cyclone Gabrielle so lucky you and Jen. Not looking forward to seeing Hawke's Bay in September. What a mess. Glad Wellington wasn't hit. Was thinking of you both. Keep the fantastic videos coming...really appreciate them. Take care and stay safe!
Thanks Gary! Wow, that was a perfect spot for a honeymoon. We missed the ride up to Russell, so we'll have to try that next time and take the ferry over. There are so many cool places to see and not enough time! I hope Hawkes Bay is in a better state later this year for your visit. They really got slammed.
Hahaha brilliant psychedelic Willy wonka nightmare tunnel. Got to love a special paved double park charging area!! The up north places around kerikeri are really beautiful
Yeah man!! I wish we could have spent an entire week in just that 260km stretch of Northland. There was way too much to see!
good video as always! PS @ 8:59 should be a Suzuki Street magic, I used to own one 25 years ago! Fun times
Thanks man, and you're right!! Such a cool bike 😁
I told myself someone in the comments would know, but I _still_ Googled small motorcycles for 10 minutes.
@@TheRealAlpha2 20 years ago, I remember that in that segment there was either the Street Magic or the Honda Monkey, both were highly tunable, mine had a 70cc engine, and it was pretty nippy in the city
First! When you feel that trouble is just around the corner. You’re probably right, and it’s probably New Zeroland’s fault. Amirite?!
Tinglin' your spidey senses lol
At this point I will be more impressed with whom ever is last 😎
We need a Sauron App. One app to rule them all, one app to bind them 😁
In the 80s, I'd arrive at a bike rally, find an empty beer can, flatten it, instant sidestand puck 😎
New years eve at the beach? We have some loons that do that in the UK, slightly different experience of course 😂
Bwahaha a beer can is a great idea. Sauron would be pleased 😂 Yeah this whole flipped seasons thing is crazy!
Yeah, I used one of the hyperchargers in Auckland, at Highbrook Drive (just off the Southern Motorway, southbound, after Mt Wellington). Those cables are heavy!
Serious power!! I loved it. We need way more of those.
There's more Jolts in Straya....25kW DC and the first 7kWh free. Here in Australia those unreliable Tritium RT50 are getting gradually replaced with RTM75s which seems more reliable and can load share. Some Networks do 2 x CCS instead of CCS and Chademo. Also more locations now with 2 DCFC and a 22kW AC backup. Getting there......
Oooo load sharing 75kW would be perfect for two Energicas! Here's hoping NZ installs some of those too.
Fun fact: the Mini you were standing behind at 4:40 is actually an full EV. The battery is small and the range is something like 180 km real-life.
As for chaging stations: Tesla Superchargers are usually in groups of at least 12 here in Belgium, and some hold twice as many stalls. In the Netherlands and Norway they go up to 42 stalls.
Other brands of DC charge stations are sorely lagging, though: most of them are from Ionity and they usually offer 4 to 8 stalls - with almost certainly one or two broken ones. So in the summertime, you see long queues at DC chargers along the highways to southern Europe vs some chill Tesla drivers at Superchargers. Tesla has opened most Superchargers for EV's from other brands, but somehow people seem to prefer standing in line for Ionity. Maybe because the Tesla app is apparently not so user-friendly if you need to charge a non-Tesla?
Man yes! It still seems like there are Teslas and non-Teslas in the EV world. It doesn't make sense to buy anything else for long trips yet. I hope they open up their superchargers in NZ soon! That would be a game changer for our bikes, but would probably make road tripping in our Tesla less fun 😂 I'm torn.
love your videos!
Thanks!
5:02 I'm glad the USA doesn't have keyfobs anymore. Some stations take credit cards, but 99% of the time it's an app. Also, stations seem to be reliable now, like 8 out of 10 times the station works (which is really nightmare level, it should be 9.99 out of 10 times).
Aw man, that's the dream. I can't wait for NZ to catch up!
😂 Girthy. Another great video.
Thanks man! Gotta love a thick cable XD
Just so we are tracking everyone on EVs wants girth more than length right? 🤨. 😆
@@stevenb7319 length would be nice, too, actually. Getting really close to these stations is tough.
@@NewZeroland so length and girth but mostly more of them, not lying about their capabilities and not quitting after 15 minutes? I feel like a whole analogy could be made for this. 🤔
@@stevenb7319 😂😂😂 Exactly! We want it longer, thicker, and faster. And more of them, multiple times a day! Wait what are we talking about again?
EPIC !!!!
Cheers! 😁
Jen’s so cool. You’re a lucky guy 🙂
She is! I am 😁 Thank you!
Yeah, I'm totally with you on the 'charge up with a credit card' thing. If filling up with fuel was a matter of downloading an app, creating an account, giving them your email address and phone number and credit card beforehand, then having to literally find the charging station you are at right now on a map in the app in order to start filling up? It'd already be outlawed to do it that way, and we'd be able to just use a credit card to start the charge.
Haha when you put it that way, yeah that would take way too long 😂 If filling up an electric car is harder than a gas car, less people will want to do it.
I have to get back to nz one day and explore the north island more, stunning.
Absolutely! It's amazing how much you can see in just one day.
8:54 It looks a bit like a Suzuki Street Magic, but the exhaust might be aftermarket.
Dude you called it!! 2005 Suzuki TR50 Street Magic 😂 Your knowledge of obscure motorcycles is unmatched!
@@NewZeroland Only if it's Japanese.
Oh god I'm becoming that old guy who knows weird facts. I used to wonder about them on car forums, how they obtained all that useless information.
Finally in my hood...and I was off working in the South Island, guiding :( But glad you got to see some parts for sure! Looking forward to planning a return, and I can show you around all the HEAPS of loops beaches, sights, and sounds that you missed on this first trip north of AKL. Hoki mai kōrua, but good to see you in Welly last wknd :)
Dude yes! I can't wait to get back. Just this one day from Parakai to Kerikeri should have been a whole week. Just when I think I've seen most of NZ, I'm still only scratching the surface 😂
Regarding charge apps. 13 networks now in Australia, I prefer a RFID card, quicker and easier. Some do Plug&Charge also called Autocharge. In Germany they have a roaming system. For example I have a Shell recharge RFID and it did ALL AC and DC chargers over there. But difficult to know how much you end up paying. Honestly Tesla did it right from day1: Supereasy to use and minimum 4 stalls 120kW or 250kW and they always work. In NSW it's now up to $2200 to block a charging station in QLD $350.
Nice!! You're right. Tesla nailed it by communicating with the vehicle and app. They have your payment info already so it's way too easy!
Maybe one day we can have one app work with all the charge networks.
One app to rule them all! Imagine being able to log in and pay through Plugshare 😳
12 spots if you lucky there still aren't enough unless you're a Tesla owner although I did see a couple of video on them adding a few CCS charging dongles to a few superchargers. For free fuel/charging I'd consider an app, but the instant I gotta pay, Yeet. I value the space on my phone too much. 7:29 the perfect example of "Rolling hills." 8:59 I dunno what it is either and that's after googling small motorcycle images for 10 minutes, but you're right, it is cool. lol, JFC next to a church. Bold move! Geez, every spot is so relaxing and picturesque!
It really is a beautiful part of the country! I'm with you.. I'd rather swipe a card and be gone. I couldn't even get two of the stations to work because my phone couldn't find their apps 😐 I don't think I'll do another road trip here until things drastically improve.
2:13 Round the world and home again
That's the sailor's way
Faster faster, faster faster
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing.
Scarred for life hahaha
@@NewZeroland 😹😹😹
I charged my 1 year old 2023 SS9+ at a DC fast charger yesterday for the first time and it charged at about 18kWs : ( it's no Tesla, but at least it's 3 times faster than my garage. I waited 20 minutes, then went on about my trip. I am planning to go ride Tail of the Dragon later this month, where I'll need to wait the full hour of charging each time, I think I'll bring a book or a game.
oh, my 8kwh's cost $9!!!! that's like buying gasoline, what a rip off, I can't wait for Tesla to have CCS chargers in my area.
7:56 23kW?!! How did you get above 18kW? I'm so envious
You should be able to get 23kW too. Check if your amps are set to 75A. Sometimes they're stuck at 60A from the factory and you can adjust it up.
@@NewZeroland I just figured it out, I'm at a charger now and changed it from 60amps to 75 and the ETA went from 31 minutes to 24, thanks!
@@Beakerzor NICE!!! Dude that is a game changer 😁
WOW, 7kWh free is like half of a Zero battery! XD
Jokes aside, I visited Zero website to check that, and I discovered they made a new one!
It looks really cool!
Still no technical details (except for 17,3 kWh battery on the side), so I guess still no DC charging... -_-'
Meanwhile today I stopped at a semaphore and when the light turned green there was an error on the dashboard... not really the best day to ridicule Zero XD
Oh no hahaha. Yeah Zero is still working on DC charging, I guess. Their new bikes have great range though!
14:00 sand?! I worry about dirt roads because my SS9+ is literally heavier than I can lift. I want to find some kind of stick, jack, or portable wench I can take with me, in case I tip over. Any suggestions? Is it even safe to ride on dirt roads for the chains?
Oh yeah chains are fine. Everything else, not so much. There are tricks to lifting heavy bikes. A jack is a good idea though. Or a winch, if there's a tree nearby! 😂
I've never used one of these winches, but I've heard others say they're good.
ruclips.net/video/JaLI0xz1IwY/видео.html
I currently have 8 apps on my phone for different charging stations in my area, most are pay, some are free, but I get 6kwh free at a ton of local stations, I rarely pay to charge, very fortunate.
The perks might be worth it then. I just hope they consolidate into one app eventually.
REMEMBER: whenever it's free....then you are the product.
Hey if it's free it's for me 😂
You should always have the option to tap a credit card. What if your phone is dead, or god forbid you forgot it or lost it?
Right?? One station used a QR code and my phone doesn't work with those, so my wife had to sign up for the app 😂
Man just seeing you guys struggle with the infrastructure over there shows there is an opportunity for someone to make a bunch of them and maybe even make good money from it.
Zeroland DC ULTRA FAST CHARGING STATIONS
And ever time you take the charge out it makes a zapping sound and when plugging in it makes a bam sound like the old Batman and Robin shows.
Here there are a few charging stations that ask for you to DL the app. But I wouldn’t mind too much if they just accept Apple Pay or “touch” payment from your credit card.
Cliff hanger again… Dune buggy time with the Eva!
Hahaha ZING! POW! KABLAM 💥😂 I like this idea. I'd offer free charging with a purchase of NewZeroland merch.
16 apps. If it is free I don't care but card payment is definitely easier.
As usual great video. Thank you.
Cheers! Good point. Free charging is awesome 😁
Did that guy run a red when you were chatting about jolt 😂😂
Haha nah, but he was close. Yellow means speed up, right? 😂
Just the tip? Why not go further?
hey that's all some of us got okurrr.
😂😂😂 just to see how it feels
@@NewZeroland Next video on Hump Ridge Track?
1:39 is that their way of saying how much it costs? an arm and a leg?
😂 I think you figured it out
Why are you chose energica ribelle in Rideing
It was the most comfortable and longest range electric motorcycle I could buy at the time.
@@NewZeroland i an waiting this bike in india
how do you record audio? do you use Sena by chance?
Yep, we both have Sena 10C Evo intercoms to record our conversations and helmet views. They're awesome but the battery life is crap.
Energica which bike give high sound
They all sound the same
What is the range of lighting ls 218
I'm not sure if Lightning is selling any bikes, so I can't say what the range is. Maybe 100 miles?
Drone ?!
I'm not sure why I didn't fly on this day! It got pretty windy the next few days though, so I didn't bring the drone out until later on the trip.
Go to mitimiti....
That's exactly where we went!! How did you know??
@NewZeroland I'm from northland , I could give you a big list. I lived in a camper van and travelled the north island over 5 years.
@@dylandesmond Wow! Campervan is totally the way to see NZ. Not sportbikes 😂
@NewZeroland I'm currently building a 245kw (175v 1400amp dc) triple motor 2wd bicycle... I love bikes too ;)
@@dylandesmond THAT'S INSANE
my answer is to scream at the loudest... Just swipe! ... Look, if all petrol stations can manage to accept money, duh, either in cash or card format, I really do not see why chargers have to be sooooo difficult. After all, there are so few of them that they do not need a loyalty scheme (yet), but even when that is a thing, then they still want to be able to nab the customers that either are not part of the scheme, or who do not want to ride the next couple of k's to the charger of another brand, or even just do not want to wait cause their fav charger is being used by another person...
BUT, most of all, why do not all petrol station put in another 5 chargers in all their stations. That would save loads of money by the set up, and the whole shop, café, or garage/mechanic facilities already exist. And the energy companies would earn on electricity too, which would help stop them trying to block the electric development. But for the biker/driver, you would not need an app, or a map to find the damn things because petrol stations are already on every corner, - just about.
Yepppp, I agree 100%. Make the interface as easy as possible. Otherwise newcomers will be confused as hell 😂
