Very cool, I like their thinking.
What about when you go to places in the world that don't have electricity though? Or only have a very limited supply for their own use a couple of hours a day? I think some pedals would be a good back up system for these times. Birdy

You can say a lot about Stalin but he electrified most of Russia. According to the rider, who's been in Russia along the route he's chosen a couple of times on bike already it's easier to find electricity than petrol. The range of the bike is approx 200 km per charge - if everything goes smooth. So to be on the safe side he's looking at 160 km per charge. He'll start in the morning, ride 160 kms, have a 3 hrs charge and a lunch, then do another 160 km. Approx 320 km per day. That's the initial idea, anyway. The rolling chassis is a KTM 990 Adv. It's being built (e.g. rigged with an electric motor and batteries) in the UK by Mavizen.

Maintenance should be fairly minimal, there is no reason today that electric vehicles shouldn't be as reliable (or more) than petrol. This is a very interesting project. I hope they make it.
