Louis! Seeing you lift the bike multiple times after double hernia surgery is killing me! Take care, man.

You could use Komoot on the road cycling setting. It will choose the best route point to point, using popular cycling routes.

falling off twice within 2 minutes, only you louis 🤣

Nothing like a double hernia to get you in the mood for an overland solar adventure, ideal preparation!

I love this video so much!! It’s like getting a little glimpse inside your brain - I love how happy and grateful you are ❤️ and the ‘bonjour cows’ was the best 😂

Every single time i click a video from Louis i already know my vibes are going to be happy. Such a positive guy! thanks for the uploads!

For an efficient route, you could try changing Google map settings to EV and the “prefer fuel efficient routes” when setting up a route. You can also change the settings to avoid motorways and tolls if needed

We just recently watched the electric van series and then here comes Louis, back with another electric vehicle trip. Just for our very stressful viewing pleasure. :)

I’m sure he will love the gift of the bike when it arrives… Broken and scratched to bits! 😅

Louis- you're so lovely! You didn't even mention your hernia to those guys when you were struggling with the bike 💕💕

Ay! Louis! Always making me stressed with you and your electric vehicles range ! I admire you for being so adventurous and a amazing independent family human!

Lifting that bike up after surgery 2 weeks ago you are crazy

The motorcyclists helping Louis out as he drops the scooter multiple times had me cracking up.

Stop grabbing that front brake while turning! If you want to use it, be gentle with it and progressively squeeze it. Grabbing a handful will throw you off 99% of the time, even in a straight line. Progressive braking is key to load up the front tyre.

Even before I started watching, I knew Louis was going to run his batteries out!🤣🤣 but he keeps us on the edge as we cross our fingers for the batteries to reach next charging point. Who remembers the converted electric VW combi great trip in the US? Great guy he takes all his audience with him on the trip. Cant wait the next one...off to Instagram to check!😂

Be safe brother, lifting and pushing that moto after a double hernia is nothing to mess with. Nonetheless have fun and ride easy! Safe travels 🖤

Love this old styled video! Keep em coming

its great to see what you're up to nowadays louis, i used to watch your vlogs back years ago when you travelled nonstop living nomadically, you were, and still are a big inspiration to me with your positive way of living and the way you live and share your life iv recently got my own electric bike, just a pedal assist but so glad i got it instead of the usual modes most people still unfortunately get, i salute you and everyone who chooses the better option I'll try keep your latest adventure in mind to watch and see how it all goes for you i always wanted to bump into you somehow, i still hope i get that chance someday peace out ✌️ enjoyyyy lifeee and I'll maybe see you somewhere someday dude 💙

Now this feels like old times following @FunForLouis on his adventures. My favorite adventures so far were the India trip with all the guys in tuc-tuc's, The flight around the world and the electric VW Bug across the USA. Loving the new renewable series of adventures. Are there any viable electric ultralight planes for the next big adventure?

Great to see you on another adventure. Every time you hit a bump or had to lift the bike I was so concerned about your double hernia and it ended up being your back that caused an issue. Stay safe and have fun. Love watching you!

I love the van across America series. I'll be following this as well. I'm happy the audio is really good and you are exclaiming over the scenery! Well done!

I wasn’t overly excited by the title but Louis you’re always so relaxing to watch and enjoyable. Good luck with your trip

This just randomly popped up on my feed and now I'm totally invested in this trip!

I love love love this series!!! It's so much funnnnn!!! The landscapes are just breathtaking. Congrats, Louis

Just a thought, but would your back up power bank fit between your feet on the "running" board? If so, it might help with keeping a lower point of gravity.

Love this! The constant theme I’m noticing with this video: “I’m good I’m good I got this! “ 10 minutes later: “ok, I don’t know where I am” 😂😂😂

Who puts the bike on the Cente stand while sat on the bike lmao 😂

@funforluis Hello from Trujillo Perú. Walker mode on Google Maps shows altitude. Lifting 1kg 1m takes 9.8 Joules of energy. 1wh=3600j It's very important to calculate energy consumption. Going up hill 10k can use as much battery as riding 50k on the flat. Reduce your centre of gravity. Put your extra battery between your legs, not on the back of your scooter.

I’m so psyched to watch this series. Good on you Louis. You are still always enjoying life and living the adventure. Boom!

Could feel the good vibes when you hit those villages - it’s fun sitting with you on the trip!

I loved this video! It is so similar to your ride across the U.S. in your electric VW bus. I love these types of situations you get yourself into! You are a unique person, Louis Cole! Can't wait to see more of this solar-powered moped trip!

That is a good bike. Have it for 9 years and it’s still going strong.

Great trip Louis! I've had e-bikes for about 3 years now and watching attempts like this is really interesting mate! Noice one bruddr!

Oh I love these vlogs. Please be safe. Don't hurt yourself ❤

Such a great video Louis, I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your journey to Italy through this series. It was amazing to meet you and Neo in Brighton on Wednesday! I hope that you had a lovely rest of your day in the Sunshine, thank you and all the best Chelsie x

Hi Louis, hope you enjoy your trip. How did you drive in Europe with L plates for the bike? All the information when I have researched this it says UK cannot drive in europe with L plates

Excited for this series! Love your content Louis.

I miss these types of videos, thank you for sharing!

I adore your authenticity, so fun!

I think when you dropped it at the ferry, I would of just left it there and walked home, that was so hard to watch 🤣🤣 I bet the other bikers haven't stopped telling that story to everyone they meet. To pick a bike up, push your bum into the seat, gran the handle bar and back of the bike with your other hand and push up and stand up with it.

Excited for this series!

Epic road trip, the challenge, adventure, people you meet, memories that last for a lifetime, food, and scenery should make this worthwhile.

The dropping the bike made me feel bad for you, then the second time i pissed myself laughing 😂 Great stuff! All the best 👍

You are such an inspiration Louis, and one of the best fathers I have ever seen. Take care with the hernia and your back. I hope people are kind to you on this journey and help you out, like you do with others.

Please be safe out there Louis!! You have a wife and son at home who need you!! 🛵🛵🛵

What are you doing dude, You cannot drive abroad using a provisional licence. You are NOT insured on L plates abroad.

The outro!!! 🥹

Doesn't Google Maps let you choose the route? I take out all highways' and tollways. I don't think it takes out hills. lol back to the battery countdown!

Louis you might not feel amazing, but you look amazing you mighty thing, you've GOT THIS! 🙌

What an adventure ,so nice to see ,you get the essence ,of biking (even if it is electric) You are in the environment ,huge difference ,to driving .

Louis, you need to lift the bike using your back ! have a look online with a guy showing how easy it is to lift a Harley using a reverse technique !

I always thoroughly enjoy a Louis road trip!

GPS, try Wayz, if you use bicycle guidance, you may save on steep elevations. Good luck. Pack small snacks like mini burgers.

To register that in Italy, he's going to pay most of its value in fees and taxes.

Louis, look after yourself! You're a trooper but you're still human. Great video xx

Another shout for Komoot for planning your route. Glad you worked out that putting it on the centre stand whilst stood next to it is the way forward. Lastly if you drop it again face away from the bike and use your legs to lift it up a little at a time is much easier.

One piece of advice would be to perhaps turn the "ignition" off when you come to a stop. It looks like you accidentally pulled the throttle when those guys were trying to help you. Could've ended badly if it had gone into the back of all those bikes. Good luck!

Why not during the night and charge by day? Or charge during the hours that are most sunny? Is there a way to charge the bikebattery from the spare while driving?

As you have L plates I take it that you are riding with a A1 or ‘CBT’ licence, what were the issues/regulations about riding with L plates in the eu?

let's have a contest to guess bike dumps before arrival in italy. I guess 16.

Dude, a bit late now but a KZfaqr called London Eats uses these bikes a lot and will probably be able to give you some tips. Nice bloke, too.

Mate I know it’s rotten of me but I literally laughed each time you dropped it. I’m only 7 mins in and gonna watch all episodes. Looks like I’m a local neighbour to you too! 👀

You should have a caffeine battery as well! Love this trip.

This looks like an adventure I would like to have with my Zero :D

consistent theme with all of Louis battery adventures... overly ambitious expectations of battery capabilities.

Fun video. Reminds me of the EV Van videos lol. A bit of anxiety but lot of fun to watch!

Sweeeet, love these solar trips!

This is what I signed up for subscribing to your channel Louis. Such an adventure. Thanks for sharing.

22:25 - A piece of advice : Never turn suddenly on a two-wheeler. Turn gradually and gently. 😊

Try Waze Louis! Set it to motorcycle and away you go

Nice Chemtrails in the sky as you set out on your ride...wonder how long before it turned cloudy.

I was surprised to see you didn't have exacting clothing plans. And then I remembered who I was watching and what I seen you do. Louis, you'll be just grand 😁

i used to watch your vlogs a lot since your single era. Your dad is still looking the same! cant believe louis still has that hair haha. I guess im back to watching your vlogs!

Hi Louis, I use calimoto for road riding on a motorbike. Avoids motorways and you can customise your route. Well done for taking on this challenge a great way to travel and explore 🙏👍🏍️

Love it! 🥰 More like this please! Makes me feel like im on an adventure while stuck at my desk 😅

This is amazing, brave to try this new tech voyage. Interesting to see results. Those NIU bikes are amazing. It's a pity there are public facilities to charge them at motorbike bays.

In Amsterdam mopeds are allowed to use the cycle paths, may be worth finding out if this is the same all across Europe!

Realistically a 2hr 30min plane flight turns into a 10 day nightmare. Great adventure though.

Use brouter for planning and locus maps for navigation with the file you created in brouter. There's plenty of vehicle parameters to choose from, even velomobiles have several depending on your gusto.

This is soo awesome! I got the same moped but the older version. You gave me an idea😂 Also I made a video about a balcony solar setup!❤

Why don't you use the side stand. Or does it fall on it.

Didn’t know you could drive internationally on learner plates 😅

Loving this idea! Watching now.

Louis have you ridden a 2 wheeled electric bike before 😅. This is quite the journey after surgery!

Your doctor would be cussing you out seeing you lifting that bike up after surgery >.

it's best not to get the battery below 10% as if you drain the battery to 0% not only damages the battery but the BMS my break and you will not be able to charge again. I have a NIU and this is what they told me when I bought it from a main dealer.

i came back after 5 year! for watching your video ! very interesting !

Yes! Another adventure. I'm looking forward to this one and I wish you good luck on the road Louis.

1:45 Dude your dad is so youthful. He could do a youtube channel. 7:18 it seems like we've gone back in time. In the 90s we had jetferries and hovercrafts. Now it is back to slow ferries. It took me 35 minutes to cross the English channel on a hovercraft once.

cool! my names Neo too ! nice to see more Neos : D

I love these videos. You could try attaching a solar panel to the back of your bike to charge your extra battery.

I remember discussing with you, traveling across the US in your VW bus on nothing but solar energy. Much more of a dream than reality. This, however, is very doable. However,…you got me started on a campaign to have the percentage of renewable energy indicated on every. EV charge dispenser…so that folks can do just that. Don’t ever underestimate the influence that you have.

Put the solar battery in your foot space for lower gravity

The boom is back 🎉

My heart was in my mouth when you dropped your scooter right by the other bikers… I had visions of some hideous domino effect taking them all out! But those bikers were super cool, and just helped you back up :)

You could of take the battery up to the ferry and plug it in there while you was sailing did not understand why you did not do thay 7:44 😮

Dude love to see Electric adventures like this. If you want, I will lend you my fully-build Tesla Model X camper for a video!

do you need a bike license for a little scooter like that? great vid, interested to see how the solar panels do recharging the whole setup!

Don't worry about dropping the bike in front of those guys :D There's two kinds of bikers: those that have dropped their bikes and those that haven't YET dropped their bikes :D And bikers tend to be chill and can give you good advice and a hand in getting the bike upright again.

Be careful charging with the battery in your cargo box. The fans need air flow to keep them cool while they charge the scooter! Probably wasting a lot of power on the fans running harder than they need to
