Electric Motorcycle Across Australia: Conquered Outback’s Heat and Endless Roads
I conquered Australia—5,800 kilometers from Sydney to Adelaide, then straight through the brutal Outback to Darwin.
Australia tested me—endless stretches of nothing, 250-kilometer gaps between stops, scorching 45°C heat. But I was ready. Kazakhstan and the Gobi had already forged me for this. Challenges? Yes. But I knew how to handle them, and I thrived.
Despite the harsh conditions, Australia delivered. The infrastructure was solid, supplies reliable, and even in remote areas, I had good food, proper rest, and a fully charged bike. The people? Incredible. EV enthusiasts welcomed me with barbecues, media coverage was great, and I met some truly amazing folks.
Looking back, I realize how lucky I was. The delays that put me through Southeast Asia’s rainy season and America’s winter landed me in Australia’s hottest months—tough, but ironically perfect. In peak season, accommodations would have been impossible to find, making the 3,000-kilometer stretch north unpassable.
My bike is on a boat to Timor-Leste, and from there, I push on to Indonesia, closing in on the first solo electric motorcycle ride around the world. The finish line of my epic ride is in sight.

A bit sad to see you are almost finished.. great video, hope you will edit a full video with lots of unseen footage of the whole trip! Safe riding!
Summer in Australia?!? 🥵 Not only first electric motorbike around the world but probably also the first kangaroo to ride an electric motorcycle. 😀
What an epic journey! Would love to go RTW on my LiveWire
I would like to see footage aloud the average speed in between chargers. I’ll bet the 60kmh or under.
