An Australian retiree is close to completing the first electric motorcycle ride around mainland Australia. The route covers roughly 18,000 kilometers and has taken him through long stretches, remote regions and carefully planned charging stops.
The journey highlights how electric bikes are moving into long-distance adventure riding. In a country as vast as Australia, covering such huge distances on a battery-powered motorcycle is both a technical challenge and a powerful symbol of green mobility.
