Charlie Boorman (Long Way Round) Test Rides Zero Electric Dirtbike

[Xhumeka]

I don't think this has been posted before - remember Charlie Boorman from the Long Way Round/Down series? Since then he's been doing a series called "By Any Means" and in one of the episodes he tests rides a Zero Electric bike in Australia:

The bike riding starts at the 35 minute 21 second mark:

and the Zero electric test ride starts at the 39 minute 37 second mark:

The Zero electric bikes have been mentioned several times on these forums over the years, but has anyone actually tried one yet?

I didn't know Charlie Boorman made another series. I don't see any electric bikes in the video though?

That 2nd link should take you right to the part where they switch to electric bikes ( 39 minutes, 37 seconds into the video).

this link which was posted about the merits of lane splitting. It uses a electric zero bike as one of the 3 test bikes.
