Around Australia on an electric motorcycle: a retiree’s challenge

An Australian retiree is taking on an around-the-country ride of about 18,000 kilometers on an electric motorcycle. The aim is to show how range and charging can hold up even on a demanding trip far from major cities.

The journey puts the spotlight on the rise of zero-emission two-wheel mobility, a topic also gaining attention in Italy, where charging networks and running costs remain the main hurdles.
