these places in europe are smashing the records into a ball venture. the treasure map for modern globe trotter discover some of europe record breaking science. and now also in book form. the in the news. we are living during the most extraordinary time history, passport for the electric field ref the auto and mobility show me an expedition

on an electric motor bike from robot and morocco to cape town in south africa through a total of 20 countries. this sounds like a huge challenge that it was for a german canyon couple who told read all about the the planning to go on this trip. if someone says, this is what you're going to experience, i would definitely do the thought me and i'll say we will travel africa with an electric motor by how far we

get. is it possible? because the the idea was that she would be on the bike full time and i would drive the support vehicles because it was a trust that had never been done before. so we want to be prepared. my name is thomas my phone combo and my mom is from germany. i was born and raised williams. and i'm an entrepreneur. and in my free times, in my work time i'm traveling the african continent. my name is elsie, i was born and raised in kenya. i went to berlin in 2017. i work in talent acquisition. and my free time, i do trips across the

motorbike that we were driving at a touch tank which helps you to a charged battery quicker. so you have an on board charger that you can plug in anywhere, and then you have touch tank which can speed it up, the boxes for the equipment to the side. one top case and of course the charging cables, very important, right? me, me. thank you to for the life the life lead of our trip. now the one we need a very happy this possible nowadays without the thing be in going nowhere. the electric motor bike tor just popped into my head and you know what? inspiration, i tend to trust the city. if i have such an idea,

i just want to take the the news share we found something, him, oracle, where we can charge. you know, i'm going to ask the staff if you did, or if i need to pay you somewhere. more rockland, south africa, where the only countries on our route that have these e, v charging stations, morocco, the only country where we use them on our 12 minutes away. enough time for now . thank you to send us all night let's check the news. we had idea you

to make the whole trip even in south africa, and in 6 months, we want to travel the continents. and i wanted to experience africa in a way that it's not painted in the news. for example, this just through my mind somehow we needed the most challenging that i could get looked at the map of the test. ok, what is the maximum amount of countries that we can kinda write 20 countries mean try to cross 20 borders in 6 months. and it's not like a shannon chang, an area where you get through with one visa, but know we'd like each country need its own thing. right. and then we have 2 different passports, the right behind it. when we get back the driving,

rotting along at 40 kilometers up and get drive on so they advertise trains of the black forest this around 250 kilometers. i think in city traffic. now some stretch it and morocco don't have charging points every 260 kilometers. so we were kind of experimenting. how can we extend that range and some way more i found out than if you drive behind the truck. you are nicely in the slipstream and the range extends massively right. of course you can only do this when the road doesn't have any potholes, and it's not the safest driving. but then i don't think we did this trip just to experience safety. you want to know, is it possible? right? and so i remember one stretch. we did 350 kilometers from one town to the next, able to charge

me it seems in life, you know, go with the things that speak to your heart, kind of listen to your intuition the. so we needed to calculate in such a way that we were not moving in the by could not the next case though, we stopped at it had to have electricity, so we could charge the bike. ah, electricity was like the key factor for doesn't have undertaking, right? we charge at gas stations, hotels, restaurants. the hell could tell us, we touch that, the generator, the tellico tower, the middle of nowhere was well

through the chart. i don't know you every with you go where the electricity is, what you got electricity in the kitchen, let me run this cable. pseudo move this ticket, right. let me plug him every night for us. what sort of like an adventurer? you never know what you're going to eat, you never know where you're going to sleep with. it's going to be nice where you're going to find an tricity. i don't think we have the final say on how good the electricity systems are. but they vary a lot and even in one country, they could vary a lot, like for example, in the area, a lot of things are running on generators. but then the closer you get to ivory coast, some of that electricity might be coming from cookies. and they have a better electricity system fall. i know at the end of the day, just when you find a place like the bike is charging, it's just like we did good today. like the bike and charging. we're just sitting down going over like what the day was like having a beer. those little moments would like meet such

a difference. it was raining and does a stretch. one more does that did not have pharma, but it was just like pure we got stuck. so many times in service not coming up. you can click on the suv from the office and he had to always get the help of other villagers to come and help us to push

the car out of the month. if you want to try me, by the way, we actually had a military as a court special forces they were like, oh, you have to face to face was so shocked that you don't have an escort you can just get kidnapped. and then one thing led to another underscore, you know, we haven't asked for that to actually in the middle, the bank in the back. otherwise, i wouldn't make a difference like 50 maxim 60, i tried, i tried to explain this to them. they didn't know it. the

weather was not so great. sometimes it was really awesome. i'm really ringing some friends of william money so also to see that money has killed the bill. i have a program for them. so 5 minutes to take the motor out because

we have a complete live in the front. it's stretched our capacity, but then also as a couple in terms of our communications. i think it was a great opportunity to practice patients to practice listening, to practice understanding and all that the the, the the, the, the me

we moving again on the back of the truck. everything is together is a lovely princess. the protagonist in the play, horace. i go there is a crazy, prim, fully, completely, all that stuff there. oh man, it's been a crazy one crazy speaking to me

in this been summer. i so this is the last time you see the one thoughts, you know let's, let's have a look together. maybe check sort of fund everything again, if there's anything that we might need for the bike. ah,

we've decided overnight. so right now we had a discount for them to reduce it and re back out with everything already. but we have mentioned that we got 3 more of that and some of the other which is crazy with me, we have professionally gotten rid of all our stuff. and now if the car is ready for

sale on this is some of the stuff that we're trying to get rid of. even when we had to leave the van, i was like, how does an interesting ton of events? and it might just make the story more interesting, you know, let's see where this takes us. and it's like in the beginning, you're like, it's annoying, it's slowing down. but then the next part is like that's, it's interesting, unexpected, fresh. and actually i always love how you wait and okay, i leave all my stuff here. all my fancy, inexpensive perfumes and i go, i mean this is what i was saying. like we were in it. there was nothing. there was no way we were going. you just had to sit in this space and be like, ok, this is where we're at. this is what is happening right now. let's go

the me that i would also just like to be honest because it gets very monotonous. it really does, thomas has the better view of the products. and like for me it was i would always have to be like crunching my head like this and were packed under this bike with so many things and let go of a lot of stuff. i was just like in between thomas and then all the baggage on this side and on this side it was quite comfortable. sometimes i was just like, no, i'm going to sleep and i had netflix. so i literally would download like shows the wind is so loud what

you're driving. so i would like to just make sure i'd like to put on subtitles. so i'm not even really hearing anything, but i like reading stuff over the back on the bike and tell me was it always be like, oh no, but it's still green, the scenery so beautiful and everything like no, i just need my nephew to get through this the me me me we will be checking the trains. sophie and i a both under 0 right now. the distance dramatically shortened.

yeah. it seems that it should be electricity or stop by the gas station. i see a nice hotel otherwise you keep growing the i should be back within the country by tomorrow, otherwise my shan expires. so i have to leave thomas to finish the journey without me.

the need for writing i didn't wanna use all right folks. this is the last 10 on reading that are on the trips by my love. there you go.

so heartbreak, but then again, we didn't. i was so happy that i arrived and help africa safely, and that was able to get back to 0 to 0 model. right. like i didn't just try your bike, your bike actually made it right. so it's like, well, and in one sense it's like all, i won't have a wonderful motor back to right anymore. but on the other hand, it's also, she's your responsibility. so yeah, it was the me go back to german who's left. pick it up quickly to check out in the

middle of calling me back in one because i was also having like a video of our leaving him to do like the last bit by himself. so when i saw him at the airport, i was like, safe and sound back home with the i wouldn't do it again. not in that way just because everything has its time. everything has its purpose. we did 6 months during the rainy season with a car and an electric motor bike, right. either one could have, you know, maybe work out easier, but both so i think we just gave us help the proper challenge, the very different experience that trip was traveling for in the beginning. does this the com on the motorbike trying to extend

the range because it's just hanging out. been a huge thing that you had more responsibility and i was just like, living my best. no, i wouldn't say so. i think it was just different experiences. but in general, yes, thomas, i will do it again. the use what on earth is the carbon polonium? the
