Bikes
In the road trip, the pair are using electric motorbikes and part of the challenge is to see how long they can last and the charging complications along the way.
Jonny Smith from Fifth Gear and Smith and Sniff interviewed Charley Boorman this week on his YouTube channel about the bikes. The interview starts at 12:00.
