these places in europe are smashing the records into a ball. but i'm sure the treasure map for the modern globe trotter's discovery, some of european record breaking sites on your youtube. and now also in book form the news. the news we are living during the most extraordinary time in history. class for the electric rips, the auto and mobility show me an

expedition on an electric motor bike from robot and morocco, kate down in south africa through a total of 20 countries. this sounds like a huge challenge cited was for a german kenyan couple who told read all about the planning to go on this trip with someone said to me, this is what you're going to experience. i would definitely do the whole them. we thought me and i'll say we will travel africa within what am i how far we get?

is it possible? how can i get the the idea was that he 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 call and my mom is from germany. i was born and raised the limits. and i'm an entrepreneur. and in my free times, and in my work time i'm traveling african continental. my name is elsie, i was born and raised in kenya, i went to berlin in 2017. i work in tyler deposition and my free time trips across

the motorbike that we were driving at a touch tank which helps you to charge the battery quicker. so you have an on board charger that you can plug in anywhere. and then you have the charge tank, which kind of speed it up, you boxes for the equipment to the side. one top case. and of course the charging cables, very important, right? me, me, me. thank you to for the life of our trip. now the one we need a very happy this possible nowadays without the thing, he ain't going nowhere. the electric motor bike torch it popped into my head. and you know what hitched?

i tend to trust that if i have such an idea, i just want to see where it takes the the news share we phone something, him oracle, or we can charge. you know, i'm going to ask the staff if i need to pay somewhere. morocco and south africa were the only countries on our route that have these e, v, charging stations, morocco, the only country where we use them on our well minutes enough time for now. thank you. okay, so let's check

we had to make the trip even to south africa, and in 6 months we want to travel the continent. and i wanted to experience africa in a way that it's not painted in the news. for example, mister bloom, i somehow we made it the most challenging that i could get. we looked at the map. okay, what is the maximum amount of countries that we can kind of cover, right? 20 countries. we try to cross 20 borders in 6 months. and it's not like a shannon shannon area where you get through with one visa, but know we'd like each country needs its own thing, right. and then we have 2 different passports the right behind it isn't back behind the driving. well, here we are,

rotting along at 40 kilometers up and get drive on so they advertise, strains of the black forest is around 250 kilometers, i think in city traffic. now some stretches in morocco don't have charging points every 260 kilometers. so we were kind of experimenting. how can we extend that range in some way more okay, i found out then if you drive behind the truck, you're 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 wanted 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

to 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 its been by could not the next case. so we stopped at, it had to have electricity, so we could charge the bike. ah, electricity was like the key factor for this type undertaking, right? we charge gas stations, hotels, restaurants, the hell could tell us we had to generate the tellico power. the middle of nowhere was

well through the chart. i don't know, everywhere you go where the electricity is, what you got the electricity in the kitchen. let me run this cable pseudo move this ticket, right? let me plug it in every night for us, for 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 electricity. 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 my barrier, a lot of things are running on generators. but then the closer you get to ivory coast come up at electricity might be coming from, could people and they have a better electricity system. all 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 to. they like the bike is charging. we're just sitting down going over like what the day was like having a beer. those little moments also like meet such

a difference. it was raining. and this is threats when crossing the borders that did not have pharma. so it was just like pure wind. we got many times. it's not much coming up. it can clear on the shoes from the office and

we had to always get the help of other villagers to come and help us to push the car out of the month later. do you want to try me back in the day we actually had a military escort, special forces they were like, oh, we have to speak to said was so shocked that you don't have an escort. you can just get kid now. and then one thing led to another lawyer. we have an f for the chip. actually in the middle, we put the bike in the back. otherwise i would make the distance like 50 max home. 60 i tried, i tried to explain this to them. they didn't know at the

time, the weather was also great. sometimes it was really awesome. i'm really ringing some friends with money. so also physically the you never know what the money has killed the bill. i have a program for

them to take the motor out. the pedal oil, we have a complete flat in the front. it's stretched our capacities, 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 the, the moving again on the back of the truck. everything is back together. you are a lovely princess, the protagonist, and the play horse motorcycle. there is a crazy prim, fully, completely, all of this man. it's been. it's been one crazy manama,

but not in this been the so i think this is the last time we see the class citizen thought, 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 to buy, ah,

we've decided overnight. so right now we had a discount and you've got a message before to reduce it in 53 back. does it have to do 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 personally gotten rid of all our stuff and now the car is ready for sale. i don't have in this is some of the stuff that we're still 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 slows down, but then the next part is like it's interesting, unexpected, fresh. and actually i always love how you wait and okay, i leave all my stuff here. all my fancy, an expensive perfume. then i just my go. i mean this is what i was saying. like we were in it. there was nothing. there was no way we're 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.

ah, me. i would also just like to be honest because it gets very monotonous. it really does . thomas has a better view of the brighten and like for me it was i would always have to be like, could you my head like this? and we're packed onto this vice with so many things and let go of a lot of stuff i was just was chris like in between thomas and then baggage on this side on this side. it was quite uncomfortable. so sometimes i was just like no going to the why had netflix? so i literally would download like shows the wind is so loud when you're driving.

so i would like to just make sure like the subtitles. so i'm not even really hearing anything but like reading stuff over the back of the bike and tell me was it always be like, oh but it's still green either you so beautiful and everything like no, i just need my netflix to get through this. mm mm we will be taking the train, sophie and i are both on the to 0 right now. the distance dramatically charging the. yeah. it seems that electricity

a gas station or a nice hotel. otherwise you keep going the i should be back within the country by tomorrow. otherwise my chances expires. so i have to leave thomas to finish the journey without me.

the decided you wanna use me. all right folks, this is the last time i'm running their own chips. by my love. there you go.

to heartbreak. but then again, we didn't. i was so happy that i arrived in health africa safely and i was able to get back to 0 to 0 model. right. like i didn't just try your bike, your bike actually made it. so it's like, well, and in one sentence 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, i was, i was the, a little german who's left of a quickie check. i

don't know, i don't know how to me that back in one piece because i was also having like a bit of are leaving to do like the last bit by himself. so when i saw him at the airport, i was like, sounds back home the i wouldn't do it again. not in that way just because everything has time. everything has a 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 it worked out easier, but both, i think we just gave us all the proper challenge, the very different experiences trip while traveling for in the beginning does get the com on the motivates,

trying to extend the range because it's just hanging out in the van. ah, are you saying 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 would do it again. the news? yes. what on earth is the common baloney? the luxury hypercard beam, funk, street racer,

the electric rebirth of motoring legend. what is going on in his spinal switzer? the who's? the only vibe will be billed at a price from $1650000.00 euros each. we went for a ride to see what you get and found out more about his bonus. we've been going for some time. the carbon lonia is only their 2nd model since 946 to get in touch because they worked beat their reaction up. they didn't waste very fast. this card is told made that a fiber for electric. got 1700 kilos. right?

that's way when you're driving the road, he's driving around the governor's car . from the formula technology, we always said that the scottish coming from their race tracks the road. it's bonus . we started making cars in 1900 for the cars, designed as an homage to the 1900 twenty's and thirty's heyday with a loops around. and that was really fun was a big moment, but was also successful brand in terms of racism, of the sport. but we come tonight to donnie's communication between the past 4 months of the vehicle and looks really, really spanish. we have the fame and will defend forever. number 15 person is going to be sure you are going

to be exclusive with these kind of cars because we are going to be just 5 boys and we have 90 in government to me. she's made fun of sweets up back on the right track. i don't miss our full report coming soon . the next on on read the rule. the me, the news
