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 entirely on an electric motorcycle, covering roughly 18,000 kilometres through remote country. An observer who crossed the continent by ordinary motorbike in the 1980s recalled the difficulty of an 8,000-kilometre trip at that time, noting the new journey was far longer and through much more isolated terrain.
Why now: The scale and remoteness of the feat, achieved on electric power, makes it remarkable against past petrol-powered journeys.

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 · 18
