The First Electric Motorcycle
Circumnavigation of Australia
18,000km without
a drop of petrol
June-September
2026
Why is this so challenging?
On a petrol bike, you stop for fuel every 400 km and you’re done in five minutes. On an electric motorcycle like the Experia, every single day requires a charging strategy.
Real-world range with full touring luggage sits around 200–250 km depending on speed, wind and altitude, meaning each leg is planned like a flight — charge points identified, timing built around meal breaks, decisions made mid-ride about whether to push on or top up.
