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-ever lap of Australia on an electric motorcycle, covering roughly 18,000 kilometres through some of the country's most remote terrain. Commentators are impressed by the scale of the journey, noting it far exceeds the ~8,000 km crossings motorcyclists made in the 1980s, and highlighting how far electric vehicle charging and range have come for long-distance adventure touring.
Why now: The milestone demonstrates that electric motorcycles can now handle extreme long-distance travel in remote regions.
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
