@eighth08 Жыл бұрын

With how close it was does really show how much better the scooter is. If Scott had a battery that could have handled the power/sport mode or whatever it was called then he'd have had it. Great video boys. Always loved this kind of stuff. Seeing as you guys sometimes model your stuff after Top Gear, any chance of a road trip in the future? Those were always the best stuff alongside the build challenges.

@EgorKaskader Жыл бұрын

To be fair, this wasn't really an... Ideal... Scooter. I'd personally also go with a LiFe batteried one, they're a bit slower but the battery lasts more cycles and handles weather better. Speed itself isn't really the defining factor for one of these, and too much of it just makes you annoy everyone you're passing while reducing your margin of error.

@namenamename390 Жыл бұрын

This is the problem with basically all European race tracks. They're all in the middle of nowhere, so it's a nightmare to get there if you don't have a car. Even if you can drive, since everyone else is driving there as well, you will be stuck in traffic for major events. Look at Paul Richard, the roads could barely handle the traffic caused by the French GP.

Give props to Scott though, to be fair. Just a minute or so behind a 660bhp supercar is quite an achievement, especially considering he had to wait for trains at some stops, and run on foot part of the way. Although in real life, a race driver travelling from Heathrow to Brands Hatch would never use an e-scooter. It would be much faster and more convenient to just Uber there if he doesn't have his own car to drive from Heathrow. The next race across London should be less restricted i.e. let the contested pick their own route without any rules or restrictions. That would be fun.

Having your passenger get out and take a picture is not fair, your opponent didn't have that option, nor did he have help navigating- you should have to go it alone and since your opponent has to find a place to stop safely- you should be required to find a parking spot- as that is one of the primary drawbacks of a car- take up so damn much space, you can't carry one or chain it to a fence. Moral victory for the scooter- e-bike clearly the superior choice- bonus points for not giving all the kids around you asthma and not deafenening everyone with an annoying, over-powered, loud engine.
