Achievements
Guinness World Record: Shortest charging time to cross the USA in an electric vehicle
From 16–19 April 2015, Reese drove from Los Angeles to New York City in a Tesla Model S. The total charging time was 12 hours 48 minutes and 14 seconds.[1]
Double transcontinental electric vehicle record
On October 22, 2015, after fewer than 28 hours in New York City after the record-breaking autonomous run, Deena Mastracci and Reese drove the Tesla P85D back to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, California.[2] A notary stood by to officially log the couple in; a staff member of the Portofino was witness.
The couple set the double transcontinental record for an electric vehicle (round trip LA-NYC-LA) with a time of 6 days, 6 hours, and 22 minutes; this beat the previous record set by Dan Edmunds and Kurt Niebuhrs, which was 6 days, 23 hours, and 4 minutes.[3]
Solo motorcycle record from Los Angeles to New York City
Reese set the record for fastest solo motorcycle from Los Angeles to New York City with a time of 38 hours and 49 minutes. He departed from Winnetka, CA on 28 August 2015 at 3:15 am and arrived in New York City the next day at 9:04 pm.[4][5][6][7][8] Reese insisted on notaries at both the start and finish lines, a first for transcontinental runs, who verified both his identification, engine number, odometer reading, and the VIN of the vehicle.[4] The vehicles he used were also tracked and verified by a third-party GPS tracking corporation.[4] The Transcontinental Drivers Association has also verified Reese's documents.[4]
Lap of Mo'orea scooter record
On March 26, 2016, Reese set the fastest lap around the island of Mo'orea in the French Polynesian Islands. He set a lap time of 48 minutes and 18 seconds driving an 8-horsepower Peugeot 125cc Tweet Scooter. The lap around Mo'orea is also known as the Coconut Cannonball 125 where participants attempt to circle the island aboard rented scooters in the shortest amount of time.[9][10]
Closest Place to the Sun on Earth to the Sea on Motorcycle in a Single Day
On 3 September 2016, Reese and Sebastian Montero were granted special access on Chimborazo in Ecuador to set the new world record for riding on motorcycles from the closest point on Earth to the sun to an elevation at sea level in a single day. Reese and Montero reached a gain/loss in elevation of 56,678 feet during their endeavor. Although Chimborazo is typically off-limits to motorcycles due to the remoteness of the mountain in the case of an emergency, Minister of the Interior José Serrano granted Reese and his team special access to the natural wonder.
Philanthropy
Motorcycle Relief Project
Reese and his fiancee Deena Mastracci have set multiple world records to bring attention to Motorcycle Relief Project, a US-based charity that helps combat veterans that have PTSD. [12]
Coalition of Hope
On 3 September 2016 Reese set a motorcycle record on Chimborazo in Ecuador to bring awareness to the April 2016 earthquake. Reese's record-setting ride was to bring attention to the "Ecuador Earthquake Relief" project by Coalition of Hope, a US-based charity, and The Ride of My Life YouTube production company. [13]
