My ride on the Begode Master, from The Lizard to Penzance

A 41 mile ride at the very bottom of Cornwall. This ride was on the 17 April 2023, a nice and sunny day. I meet up with some new friends and some old. This is a seriously long video so feel free to skip ahead if you want :-)

super interesting to see this especially how traffic and pedestrians react, I have fear of negative responses from people but it seems no one really bothers. Also wondered in you have any encounters with the police ? and what their take on it was

I have a buzzer horn thing but tend not to use it. I approach people slowly, it not just to be safe, but not to startle or frighten either. If people start chatting to me I very often stop to continue the conversation. I only have had one really negative reaction from the public - you can't please everybody. In Cornwall at least the Police are not at all interested, they have more important things to deal with. Just as long as you are not showboating, doing daft things or people complaining about you, then they are going to leave you alone. We have past each other on several occasions.

our speed bumps are nice and gentle like going over big mounds, 1 foot high and 5 feet wide, they dont even slow you down
how much battery did you have left?
at those speeds you might get 55 miles out of it?

I was amazed actually, I still had 114V on getting home after 41.5 miles. I was travelling anything around 15-22mph for most of the ride. I wanted to back the speed off a bit because I new I was going further than normal, but I think I needn't have bothered.

@@Roskellan ive squeaked 90 km's out of mine, i think i was still doing about 25/30 km/h when i got home and was dipping down to about 100v under load

@@growingoldandhavingfun4391 That's good, I think I may be the same, I consider 96V the lowest to go representing 3V per cell.
