They call me Juan. I live in London. I love motorcycles and I've been riding non stop since quite young. This channel is a place to share some of my ridings. Those that I think are nice and worth to share with others, so they might also enjoy them.

    finally same bike.!! Is it okay to connect the adv controller directly to the battery? Are there any concerns about discharge? or install another?

  • @theicebike
    @theicebikeАй бұрын

    I do NOT recommend the Carpe Iter ADV controller. Quality is very poor, it’s NOT water proof. A jet wash will get water inside. If you read the specs you’ll see it does NOT have any IPX rating, and they basically say that you have to trust their word in terms of waterproofness. Likewise, customer service is the worst I’ve ever seen. They will even reply to you with ironic messages trying to make fun of the situation. After so many problems, and terrible and very unprofessional customer service response, I took off the Carpe Iter ADV controller, threw it away, and moved to the ARN Remote Pro. I had zero problems with this controller, and I regret zero. Super good quality, and a top customer service support.

    @theicebike thanks my friend. Another question at what time did you depart from Gaviao and at what time did you reach Moura?

  • @theicebike
    @theicebikeАй бұрын

    @Adventurebikeridersgib I usually departed each day around 8AM, and getting to destination around 5-6PM. You need to consider that you’ll lose 1-1.5 hours stopping for having a meal, topping up your camel back, and for some other needed things. Day 4 has quite fast trails, with mostly easy terrain. Day 4 is way far the easiest one. It’s 285km, but you’ll ride it at fast speed on wide easy trails mostly. Day 5 is the same, until you reach the Algarve for the last 80km or so, which is a non stop of up and downs, very demanding physically.

    Propaganda and reality are two different things. These bikes are not designed for it; they are meant for long trips with some off-road capabilities. In such situations, a smaller bike would perform much better, such as the MTs 250 or CRE 300.
