First electric motorcycle lap of Australia completed
Original: The first *electric motorcycle* lap of Australia has just been completed... We rode an ordinary moto across and back in
A rider has completed the first lap of Australia on an electric motorcycle, covering roughly 18,000 kilometres through some of the country's most remote regions. The feat is being shared alongside memories of earlier cross-country trips by combustion motorcycle in the 1980s, when an 8,000-kilometre journey was considered long and remote. Commenters are impressed by the distance and the challenge of charging in isolated areas.
Why now: The scale and remoteness of the ride make it a notable milestone for electric vehicle endurance.

Evidence
- The first *electric motorcycle* lap of Australia has just been completed... We rode an ordinary moto across and back in the 80s—it was a long trip, very remote at times (8000km), & this bloke went much further in much more remote country—18000km! https://www.… · thefathippy@mastodon.world · 4
