- It was CLOSE! What is faster across a CITY? A £100,000 BMW, a £1700 electric skateboard or £20 on public transport.
Thanks to @evolveSkateboards for lending Callum their Hadean All-Terrain, check it out here 👉 bit.ly/3JM5uv4
All three of us will travel from one side of London to the other, where there is a drifting experience waiting for the winner. The only catch, is that all three of us HAVE to go past Big Ben.

Isn't it crazy how Callum met every single Londoner who's actually willing to have a polite civilised conversation with a stranger
Lol
A total of 3 people
wait there’s people in London who do that?
I think what happens is they're so freaked out when you talk to em, they chat with you, before they remember they're not supposed to ;)
Could be fear of the camera?
I like to imagine Callum just asking random people all the way through the London if they like his skateboard😂
As someone who rides a boosted board for 5 years, people genuinely are amazed every day and start conversation 😂
I think it's quite clear that public transport would have been fastest if Scott would have actually tried xD
the best is electric skateboard and public transport
Top gear tried this and the fastest way was a boat. Public transport was second.
@@rosskgilmourCycling was fastest, no?
I don't think that is clear
For real, why get a boat?
I swear this has the energy of the old top gear, just 3 mates goofing off, having fun and racing
The only difference is top gear was funny.
@@Aggnog ok? i think this is funny
@@Aggnog yeah they dont make as many clever jokes as i would like
@@yoloboogie3674 because top gear was heavily scripted
Yes, it's realy nice to watch
You need to give each of the boys £2,000 to pass their motorbike tests (buying the bike, helmet, gear, test and everything). I'd love to see them what secondhand bike they end up buying and learning to tackle riding on the road, and I think they would genuinely enjoy it and benefit from the experience. Please do it!!!
"Just think about all the poor decisions going on in there" Savage! 💀
I’ve gotta say you guys navigating London is always hilarious because you all are about half hour slower than you had to be 🤣
Scott should’ve just got the jubilee to Westminster then a train from Waterloo
@@maximusheaton8375 exactly what I was thinking he’d have been there in like 90 minutes 🤣
@@maximusheaton8375 Yeah, straight away I was DLR??? Why??? And what route did he take to get to Stratford Station??? What was that bridge he went over??? It's a 15 min walk through Olympic park from the stadium to the station and you don't go over a bridge like that.
Public transport is the only way to get around London really but doing it right would make the challenges boring.
Yeah, no idea why Scott didn't just take the underground to an overground station or a bus...
@@maximusheaton8375had to go past Big Ben. So add a few minutes to get the bus there and back, although he could just stay on the Jubilee past Westminster then doubled back on the next tube to Waterloo. Passes BB, but underground.
Can't wait until you boys start making more money and we get the proper top gear challenges across like 5 countries
I can imagine Callum going around the magic roundabout in Swindon on that 😂😂
love how callum was talking about how great his skateboard is the entire time while getting passed by bikes
Not sure if Callum already knows this… but there is an Electric skateboard shop about 10 mins walk away from the swimming pool in Stratford. It would blow his mind 😂
Also… Scott’s chosen public transport journey was probably the slowest one he could of got 😂😂
Those challenges are insanely fun, great job yet again!
Love these types of videos. Keep it up!
keep doing videos like these, some of the best on youtube!
I love the recent video you guys are putting out but special shoutout to the video editor, really well-made with constant callbacks and really good flow! Good job team 🤗
Next episode:
will on a tweezy, Callum on an e-bike and Scott on a e-skate
Great job guys, great job to the editors too
Love these videos, brings back the old Top Gear vibe. Keep it up!
I'm in Lagos, Nigeria and never been to London but I loved this so much! I would love that skateboard if it was usable in my city with no respect for lanes and crazy drivers
Can't accept Tony Hawk being insulted like that. Especially after his recent 700 coming back from the horrible injury attempting the same trick...
Man is a legend, grey hair or not... And this has got nothing to do with my own grey hair... Honestly...
It's banter to make fun of Callum, c'mon
Callum's damn brave going down Bow/Mile End Road on that thing. Used to do Stratford - Old St on a bike and that was one chaotic road at times!
Classic delivery folks hanging out in the bike lane at 4:16 too!
Fun fact about Stratford station. I almost shit myself there once on the way to a job interview. I did get to the toilet in time. There was a man at the urinal, I'd be holding my a big poo for several hours on the train and when it came out, it sounded very loud, so loud in fact that the man at the urinal actually said "fucking hell mate". True story.
For those wondering how to actually do this journey by public transport and not faff around to waste time:
Walk to Stratford, get the Jubilee line to Westminster, walk across Westminster bridge, get the train from Waterloo to Weybridge and then walk the rest of the way to Merc World.
This could take ~20mins less time than driving and an hour less than cycling.
Entertaining video though.
I was debating whether byfleet and new haw was quicker as it’s closer slightly but the train takes longer
A high speed mono wheel / EUC might be competitive, if you really knew the route. Would also need rozzer dodging skillz.
Awesome fun! Great video. Next time, throw in an EUC / Electric Unicycle in the mix. Same cost as the e-skate or a an e-bike, but faster, further, more maneuverable - no problems with tree roots, and can be wheeled onto transit and into offices / cafes / shops. Hard to learn, but worth the effort - makes a good camera 'car' for your channel too as you are hands free up to 50 miles per hour! There are a few EUC channels to check out, Chooch is my favourite lunatic on a mono wheel .... Kuji Rolls content is fun too, there are few UK EUC / e-skate crews.
Ive never cycled in london but i love mountain biking in my local area you can do a lot of creative shortcuts riding up and down stairs you cant really do on other things.
Anyone notice how Scott got on a red train and got off of a grey one
The iffy finish of the leather on the rear seats of the M4 is triggering me severely 😂 Top vid lads!
damn, you didn't have to cook tony hawk like that 😂😂
Great episode! Will mentioned that none of you don't have Motorbike licenses... I feel a CBT and a best (worst) 125cc challenge is needed!
Brooklands is awesome. I remember the first time I stopped there for the Tesco's. I instantly knew the banked concrete round the outside of estate was an old track. Then I read up the history of it. Quite sad it isn't still a full track!
"I'm going to pit maneuver Callum"
As an American, London seems to have (as someone whos never been obv) such a particular aura similar to Chicago, tho less so i suppose, with beautiful riverside skycrapers and modern architecture across from classic architecture, then slummy grafitti covered sky bridges and back alleys lol.
Callum is having the time of his life, while the other two are miserable.
Cost and speed, public transportation is the clear winner, but Scott and the crew purposely chose slower methods to make the race more even, for fun.
I love chalenges like this but hate it when they purposly make the better option worse. It would be like giving the E-Scateboard only half charge or the car not enough fuel and being surprised when they don't win
Callum plus a sense of direction would be unstoppable! 😂
If Scott didn't muck about with the boat he'd have cleaned up both of them 🤣
Public transport would’ve won if not for pissing about, skateboard 2nd if Callum could read directions 😂
I do agree with Callum about all the facts about the El-Skateboard. Owning your own car is too expensive in 2023 at least in Sweden.
So why not own an Electic Skateboard to commute from suburb to suburb, including a big battery for short and long distances?
I have owned a penny board-like electric skateboard, for commuting during the summer for the past 7-8 years, and with the combo with both size and public commute, it's a killer to get you from A-B.
1. Callum even if he lost.
2. Will, only because it's a "luxurious" trip and a nice car. (still, people complain about traffic).
3. Scott didn't even try. (this is a car-focused channel so ofc).
Good video, looking forward for the drift-vid.
would have loved to see more of the drifting
Every video, they seem like old top gear more and more, and I love that.
I've been riding my Onewheel every single day for the past year and a half. Throughout all this time, I've never received as many compliments about my PEVs as Callum did in this one video.
Public transport would of smashed that without all the messing about 😂
Could have done the whole thing on 2 trains and still got out at big ben. The whole DLR - Circle - Boat - SWR thing was just purposly throwing the victory
Top Job Chaps 🤘
How do you not show more of the drifting?
How have you raced to where I work and I haven’t seen you I’m literally at Brooklands every week day
How was there only a 5sec clip of the drifting event
why are you going through kingston curious
Scott should’ve just used the jubilee line to get to Westminster then get a train from Waterloo
Good to see Will get some fun for a change. He can't fit in half the stuff. I have the exact same problem.
This feels like classic top gear
+1 for the video of pit maneuver on Callum 😂😂
Good Lord! Just start seeing this video and I have just one question. How much skin Callum will lose along the city? 😂
Well he didn't loose any skin but all his face 😆
it’s giving me top gear vibes
Can't watch right now but already dropping the like and comment for the algorithm
Problem with electric skateboards and ebikes is always going to be voltage sag, whereby as your voltage decreases so does the output wattage. for a skateboard i wonder if you could get a backpack which would be suitable to run a cable down your trouser leg to the board connecting a second battery and acting as a leash like you get on Stand-Up Paddleboards
Man Scott's boat really blew his chances on this one
I have a motorbike, a license and I’m local to London. Happy to be involved in the next race 😅
"im gonna pit maneuver callum" x_x
I'm in an unrecognisable part of London - Will....as he drove past my flat 😂
Oi Scott, Is that a Pixel 7 I see in your hand? That's pretty cool.
This video is like
"Do you have some time to talk about our lord and saviour the electric skateboard?"
Great music like usual.
This is totally inspired buy the old top gear where James Clarkson Hammond and the stig used different means of transport to cross London it's good that they bring back these genius video ideas
I love the image of will driving a BMW to Mercedes
Will you be releasing a video with quadrant?
In Germany, you pay €50 a month for public transport throughout the country, except for fast trains, so there's no question of what you'll use for transport in that case! And I always prefer means of transport with a chauffeur 🤩 in a city
Bro called the Velopark the west ham stadium
I truley believe that if TopGear ever fail for hosts again, you Three need to be put forth 🤣
esk8 ftw!
Callum sees someone in the street just minding their own business: "Do you like it"
Maybe do this challenge again but with an electric unicycle. They can be a bit expensive like with the InMotion V13 Challenger at about $4,300+ USD/ €3,000 - €5,000 but can go 50+ mph/ 90+ km/h.
Don't get why these videos are so cut up. Could easily have been 10 minutes longer. Please make these race videos much longer, I enjoy seeing the details!
gj to each one of you
Is the skateboard legal to use on the road?
Its not a grey area. 250w with trottle is against the law. Callum can get 6 points from this video 😂
When Callum’s battery runs out, he’ll become Tony Walk
4 miles for 17% sounds more like 23.5 miles range.
Hardly 40 and thats just going along - no hills, cold or anything.
On the good side if its not illegal then no charges can be held.
On the bad side there is almost always some catch all law that will cover it.
Yeah he’s got his figures wrong he basing it off the board in “street mode” it’s also not £1000 it’s £2100 even with Evolves summer sale at the moment it’s £1550 for a “Hadean carbon AT”.. on its setup he was running AT mode (All terrain pneumatic 7 inch Tires) it’s range isn’t 40 miles it’s half that 16-20 at most and it’s top speed isn’t 30mph it’s 27 mph .. if it had street wheels yes those figures are correct but you he was not running that setup .
A £5000 motorcycle or the combo of any car + a ~£700 e-scooter will be the fastest overall transportation method. Or for much longer trips it's a general aviation aircraft plus an e-scooter.
Will, you leave that legend Tony Hawk alone!
8:50 There was actually a guy called schaefchen who did it in an M3
but isnt brroklyn in new york?
Surely you could assist the skateboard by also using it as a regular skateboard to save battery??
Why am I getting old Top Gear vibes? Nice job lads
I'm subscribed. Still no Will in jail.
if the public transport was taken by someone familiar with it, it’d probably be liz line to tottenham court road, then northern line down and a bus to the destination
absolutely no idea what they were trying to do
£100,000 !!
Seriously, One hundred thousand pounds for a BMW !
A fool and their money.
Great video 😊👍🏻 Are electric skateboards legal? I know scooters are not.
Both Electric scooters and skateboards are illegal in UK, you can get points on your driving license, as they require mot, road tax and insurance, no insurance they can crash it.
Try another route on mopeds. 👍
The guy on the tube took the longest possible way. If he was from London, he would've took the jubilee line and got their in half the time
I'm just happy seeing will having some well deserved fun for once :D most of the time he gets checked out >.< But If Callum wasn't soo bad at following directions he should have won I think?
Could have done the whole thing on just 2 trains and still got out at big ben. I appreciate that this is a car channel but purposley making the fastest option lose is just dumb
You should not be allowed to cross red lights on the skateboard in this challenge. It is not just illegal, but also risky and kinda goes against the point of this challenge.
Also you did it in the time lapse at around 0:24
Another dark yellow at around 5:57
Will we get to see Will drifting next episode?
I hope so!
Dame should have bought the exway pro with the aux pack
why did he choose a channel ferry... i live in cph havent actually been to london but the channel ferries here are slow as hell and only really good for chrosing the channel some places. else busses er metroes would always be faster.
Electric bike/scooter/car? video
You lost the oportunity to use the fleetwood mac son while callum was chilling onnthe skateboard...
I have a idea on what challenge u should do next a buggati scooter Vs a nissan 350z to Peterborough
What on earth kind of route is that for public transport??? 😂😂😂. Even the walk to the station smh
as a skater of almost 17 years of expierence i gotta say a) will isnt right and skateboarding has just gained in relevancy and popularity since 2002 b) id be reluctant to get on a skateboard capable of going 35 mph because it sounds reeeaaally painful to fall off a skateboard at that speed (i went down hillbombing once when i was 16 and my whole side was shredded to bits for weeks, and i was no where that fast) and c) callum is absolutely right dogs freaking hate skateboards :D great content though. just wished you guys would have shown a little more of wills drifting session seems like it was great fun!
