I thought all the wood was for a thermoelectric generator to recharge the car?
Be this guy. Have adventure as while you're young. I always figured I would be able to when I got a little older and then got sick. Do stuff while you can cuz you never know when you won't be able to anymore.
I would have done all kinds of things when I was young if I had the money.
@@dangeroustoman You don't need money to do things. That's one of the big misconceptions. Just walk out your door and see where the day takes you. Adventure does not have to be fancy.
This is what my wife and I are trying to do. You are never guaranteed another day so enjoy them the best you can while you can people!
Our goal is currently to get a brightdrop zevo 600 to do a camper conversion in and go cross country from only free chargers and the sun! Hopefully we will be able to buy one in about 3 years.
We currently own a chevy bolt and go all kinds of places in the Carolinas to hike. The amount of places to charge for free is truly amazing if you look into it. I can go from Charlotte, NC up into the mountains by Asheville for the day and back... sometimes 400-500 miles in a day for only the initial home charge of $7.
I feel you brother. I am turning 40 and I wish I had done more when I was younger.
Ditto ! Right after I graduated High School I had a brain tumor, though I walked again I spent a decade in comatose winters ! Now I’m 51 and missed out on those 20s , so DEFINITELY GOTTA SAY LIVE YOUR LIFE !!! Make it good and do what you can, WHEN YOU CAN !!!! 🎉 . . My knees are hurting now from being bedridden all my 20s , but if I didn’t make a life of my 30s I would just have nothing. Fourties were a blur and now I’m past 50 . Just glad I did SOMETHING in the years before .
Would love to see another abandoned railroad vid, the first one was awesome
More to come! New one up Monday!
@@MattSpears The new vid is even cooler :D
YES PLZZZZZZzzzzzzz
I’d ditch the rooftop tent for a small backpacking set up. The power that is being wasted on drag is probably tremendous.
I don't think he's moving fast enough for drag to be an issue lol.
Just discovered your abandoned railway video and now this one. I love your positive vibe. Keep up the good work.
That thing has so many possibilities for upgrades. Dual disc brakes from a motorbike, larger capacity batteries, uprated motors, setup for regen braking, steel frame, reinforced cabin, proper cooling /heating system, better tyres, big led lights, heck build the generator in so it can automatically come on if needed at a certain percentage of power.
This fuys is the best type of guy to go on crazy trips with. Glass half full attitude and mechanical savvy mind and you can accomplish almost anything. Love it.
Yeah or beer short of a sixpack
This reminds me of my best friends and I, way back when we were in our 20's, going on oddball vacations and day trips. What wonderful memories! Thanks so much for sharing your good times with us old geezers -- and geezerettes, too! You guys ROCK!
That whole trip is so ill planned and make shift. That car is gonna hate you. Fantastic!
Absolutely gorgeous scenery! Always love seeing Kev in the movies! Can't believe you're not at a million subs yet, bro! You so deserve it!
Build a luggage rack for the back of the Spira, put solar panels on the tent roof. It should extend your range
I'm glad people can still do these things, at least in some states. Where I live, you'd probably have gotten pulled over by the Gestapo before you ever got out of the city limits. Although it looks a little rag-tag, I like many of the features you incorporated obviously on a low budget. Adventuring is something you will never regret.
I think it might be time for you to replace at least the bottom of the car with actual metal and attach the suspension onto that. basically turn the rest of the car into just a shell that sits in a skateboard like car. if nothing else, it'll definitely help with the rail adventures since you can not only jack on the frame, but know that you aren't dead in the water if you hit another rock or something.
I'm impressed you made it as far as you did considering your ratchet-strap suspension (upgrade). Lots of fun and you survived the downhill!
I think it's time to give it a lift and modify to long travel and add a back up battery! Great Job you two! Really enjoyed watching your adventure!
I had a similar problem with lifepo4 batteries... you need a 'charge balancer' which will literally take power from the higher cells and dump it into the lower cells... they are usually dirt cheap but a pain to install... not sure if the make 20s versions but there were some that were 16s when i was shopping for mine. You probably already know about it but justincase ;-). Loved the vid btw. Came for the tiny train content stayed for the high centering :-D
Found your channel today, enjoying the mad cap adventures. 👍
Just discovered your channel. I'm a 55yr old motorcycle rider of 40yrs. Love all your adventure stuff going on. Super impressive riding off-road 👍
🤯 MIND BLOWN! You are one Amazingly inspiring person. Thank You for sharing and having me on the edge of my seat!😉👍✌️
Keep doing what you're doing Matt! We'll join you for the journey.
Ladies, not that I expect many are here, THIS is the childlike enjoyment we get out of silly things. But it’s squeezed out of us by life and responsibilities. When you see us acting like boys…it’s remembering times like this guy is having.
Keep your attitude, man! It will take you far. Smiling face through adversity is hard to find later in life.
But you won't get any, like ever...
His young adventureous spirit is rare these days ! Pay attention to this guy he has a great future!!
It's so random A few months ago I found the whole trolley car go cart thing. And I went deep watch the ton of different videos. And loved the idea of it but hated that no one made a really good trolley car they were all backyard scrap piece together stuff. Than you come along with this thing. Awesome
Ești un campion ...totă aprecerea....succes în tote proectele...
My hero, no responsibilities. Just wing it and hope for the best.
You two give me a Lackadaisy characters vibe especially you and your caotic projects and adorable posiviatisim like Rocky Rickaby and Kevin and his coolnes and hurted knee give me a Viktor Vasko vibe XD
This lad is literally MacGyver!
Pure love from Sydney Australia! ❤
He is something that is closest to great entertainment with skills that every man should have.
Commenting for the youtube algorithm, because you deserve it.
Hell yeah brother!!!! Glad to see the electric trike was still alive😂😂
Need more rails-to-trails tours
Dude you need to put a solar on the roof with a regulator to the batteries, while you drive batteries will charge and give more milage , if you put a small canopy gas shock on the front steering this will prevent all the strain on the steering, also enlarge the steering wheel for better handling, 😅😊
Keep it up man we missed you and your creative different non generic content!
Epic video! Very interested in what killed that single cell? Possibly charging it before it got below 10% or running it when the battery was below 0%? Lithium ions are a pain
This adventure is making me laugh. I love it.😂
if the motors are direct drive they have regen. Regen depends on controllers
I love that beautiful sunset from the mountain.❤
Dude the walls of them canyons are amazing! Omg
The RUclips gods randomly recommended this channel and I’m grateful they did! 😉🙏 Keep adventuring! 🔥
cameras never do justice of what your eyes can of all those epic views.
I really had a good time following your last two videos thank you for sharing and safe travels
Yay! Electric car! Needs power from an gasoline (oil) fed electric generating system.
I was expecting to see some of my favorite places in Montana. 30 seconds in: That's Moab! He's heading up into the La Sal mountians!
Enjoyed the adventure. Wish I couldda done it with you on my e-bike. Sending joy from Wales, UK>
Enjoy your adventures and your youth. New subscriber here from bohol Philippines. Take care.
Everyone needs a Kevin in their lives 😊
so underrated! keep it up man!
You need to link up with c90 adventures sir. Very similar!
How did you guys manage to register the car to drive it in the public highway?
Wow, so beautiful out there. Nice adventure.
That diy pop-up-tent is also great.
22:18 "what does a duck like to eat with soup?" - "Quackers" 😄
This is so crazy. I would have been freaked out. I wouldn't know what to do without that battery charger. Too bad you couldn't have built it with a box that you open to take out a bad battery cell so that you can replace the old one. That way you can get full 100 percent battery life on it. Try it with solar next time. New subscriber here.
25:25, "these are not the most expensive motors, and they do not have re-gen" I'm pretty sure that is a feature of the motor driver, maybe look into better drivers and see if you can upgrade it
The puppy is really loaded up
Ok, this was epic, and I was scared for you the whole time. Cue squeaky brakes on steep downhill grades for dramatic effects. BTW, I think a lightweight aerodynamically shaped shell over the popup would have given you some good mileage. That roof load looked like a brick slicing through air. Have you thought about buying life insurance?
That view, but also that tune😂 This is one of my favourite channels❤
"that aint going anywhere" (smacks it with pride) = kiss of death 💀💯
All right man you’re awesome. I wish I could come with you and help you.
😅😂 thats our comforter mayun‼️‼️ yall having fun
All permanent magnet motors can do regen when using the right motor controllor. Your controllers are probably just not capable of regen.
I like the adjustable "hammer".
Looked like a fun little jaunt. nothing like stress testing your bizarre contraptions, where failure is always an option. My last notable trip was in an sailing catamaran Id converted to electric. took it for a fishing trip, took it one way down the coast, did great, about 4 kt, even caught some fish. at around 70% battery I turned around to head back, but the wind had come up, with the waves and headwind, it pretty much couldn't move forward. dragged it 500m up the beach to a spot I knew with some minor fence manipulation you could get beach access. then the long walk home. wasnt so bad, caught another fish on the way. a late fish lunch, n went to retrieve it. I have twice as many motors and each one is 3x the power for this summer.
Im not sure how your BMS would like this, but could you simply remove the dodgy cell and run it as say, a 23s bank rather than a 24s? thats what I'd be trying...
That little car looks like one of those Red Bull go carts that run down a hill and crash into hay bales.
You're so energetic and enthusiastic you would have made a great Plumbing helper I don't know how you designed your electric car but for a prototype that just climbed 10,000 mi Hill that's pretty impressive considering the load and weight capacity and the suspension on that thing that you designed yourself LOL
With lithium ion batteries ur supposed to never let them below 15 percent once u hit the low of 20 percent u should charge
I'ma buy one ..AG1 Here I come
I wondered why one of the lithium cells broke… then I saw the video where the car was ‘swimming’ in the water 😅🙈
If power was a problem, why would you ever turn the generator off?
You've got guts young man 👏
Loved it yet again matt, can't wait to see what's next 👍🏴
AG1 tasted great! Way better than I expected 👍
World is yours! Good luck!🎉😊
YIPEE! Up date/part 2
How is it that no cops saw this on the road!
That was fun to watch. Thanks.
OMG!!! You ran out of juice and there is bathroom building right there!!!!
Love your videos keep em up!
Happy for journey 👍👌👌
Damn the torpedos!!!
Why did you try and go up that mound at the beginning? That was just crazy anyone could tell you only a motorbike could do it.
So entertaining thanks for sharing!
Love this video! It's a nice change from the usual BS! Good on y'all ❤
Epic !! And then I seen your suspension geometry ( or lack of it ) - And only 4 mins into vid ;)
Nice.
Love this,grate job
just cottened on to your vids - very entertaining, just look after-yourself you always seem one step away from a disaster keep safe
Holy moly puppy
according to a bullshit rule i just made up, you two would have bene legally abliged to have CB radios. it makes multi vehicle road trips SO much more fun!
Found your channel last night.
There great videos mate keep up the good work🙂👍🇬🇧
You should definitely do a Cannonball in one of your vehicles.
Looks sick what battery are you using maybe put some ASI controllers or nuclear it will be a beast but sketchy because i think the front wheel won’t handle the speed
cause sinus controllers know how to use the battery and will get you more range
Using some cheap Chinese controller, will look into ASI.
Just imagine how it would be different is you had given it a 10 mile trial run. The SOC could have been calibrated, the weak cell could have been discovered and the suspension weak points identified. But hey maybe not. Fantastic video was 100% sucess!
Loving your content!
How about you repeat the Hayabusa series, but use a proper big-boy bike like the Triumph Rocket?
Those are big bikes!
Yayyyyyy more matt!!
Being a rolling obstacle is something that should have been taken into consideration for your saftery and everyone else.
With that said I love the railway clip and your ideas in these clips you have serious potential for a epic RUclips channel that many will love I certainly have liked it but I am a safety nerd and pushing on highways is no way to run a experimental setup.
"Looks like something from Top Gear," I'd take that as a huge compliment !
8:13 and i realize dude had a gun ready to go.
Multi purpose bear spray
How can Kevin rescue you without a phone?
This chick is awesome! she is better than all the boys
I have an Orange fest on I can stand in the middle the road do whatever I want🤪😜🤪😜
Fav channel now
I'm surprised the cops let you roll on public streets . Especially in areas with speed limits higher than your ride can provide
