A motorbike drove from Nairobi, Kenya, to Stellenbosch, South Africa, in 17 days, powered entirely by solar power.
An electric motorcycle, made by Swedish-Kenyan manufacturer Roam completed a 6,000-kilometer journey from Nairobi, Kenya, to Stellenbosch, South Africa, in 17 days, using only solar power. While the world record for the longest electric motorcycle journey is 25,000 kilometers , undertaken over 42 days in the US, Roam hopes that its stunt helps to prove the viability of renewable energy for long-distance travel even in remote areas with poor charging infrastructure.
Accelerating market The journey was a collaborative effort between Roam and Stellenbosch University, which launched an Electric Mobility Lab this month, dedicated to advancing sustainable transport solutions. Roam donated two motorcycles to the lab to support research and develop the bikes further.
