Mate if you complete this trip, its probably the fist ever solo attempt on an electric motorcycle. Charlie and Ewan did it with manufacturers support, a convoy of support vehicles and a spare diesel generator on the back of a van. You are doing this solo, what a legend! Best of luck and have fun :)
Hey Marc, I'm honest. I did come here for the Dominator, bc own one and doing small trips with it myself. I thought I wouldn't like your context anymore, if you switch your bike. But I'll stay. Bc it's not the bike. It's your way of seeing the adventure. Your style of editing. Your little talks. Like you said. Every bike it's an adventure bike. Glad you'll keep the honda tho 💪. Keep it up! Awesome work.

I don't really like electric bikes, I think batteries are really not developed enough yet to travel around the world. On the other hand, you seem to be so much excited and this is something completly new so ofc I'm gonna watch the series and support it. Good luck and have fun!
Good luck Marc, If you’re coming down West towards Cornwall I’m in Devon if you’re stuck for somewhere to stay and plug in. It’s a village called Dawlish and even better it has Black Swans and Devon cream Teas too. Safe travels keep up the great videos
This was my first time viewing your video Marc. It was at the request of Noraly (itchy boots). I must say I was impressed by your editing skills and have now subscribed to your channel.
Pretty fun as always! My father's family was from Ilsenburg and Wernigerode and we still have family there who remained there through the Cold War. We went to visit and took the Brockenbahn...fun stuff. I can only imagine it's beautiful riding country. Weiterhin gute Fahrt!
Sehr mutiges Unterfangen, Marc. Ich hoffe Deine Reise und Dein Kanal bekommen durch diese Fahrzeugwahl noch sehr viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit und Abos. Ich bin richtig gespannt, wie es weitergeht. Du machst das toll. Vielen Dank fürs Mitnehmen!
verrückter Kerl, cool mit zu reisen. Mein Sohn hat sich letzte Woche eine Dominator gekauft, fast 30 Jahre alt. Bin ich am WE mit gefahren und muss sagen das sie Spaß macht. Mal sehen was er so alles erlebt mit ihr. Ich freue mich jetzt erst mal deine Videos zu sehen und auf meinen Urlaub, fahren am Freitag mit Bike nach Griechenland. Sonntag geht die Fähre nach Igoumenitsa von Venedig. Das wird erst mal sportlich ,in zwei Tagen nach Venedig. Aber hey jetzt für dich viel Freude und bleib knorkelfrei. Wir bleiben am Ball.
Hi Marc, I'm traveling with my cb650r to Georgia - Armenia from Greece and in the nights I'm watching your videos. I will really love to meet you. Keep traveling ✌️
The Harz National Park is near my hometown. Wonderful area. A few days ago I did a 510km day tour through the Harz National Park with my Zero DS. Love that region!
You have more patience than I do. I cant imagine driving a vehicle that limits my range this much and then requires so much downtime IF everything works just to get going again. Im not saying this in a bad way, hat off to you for attempting this, but im glad u are the one going through this and not me lol.
--- agree: he covered a little over 200 miles in a day - and we watched him charge up what - twice ? - that ate up about 1 1/2 hours ? on a conventional that is 3 hours of riding, 5 to 6 gals of gas, and a 5 minute top off - then there is the whine - I'd pay for the gas
Für mich wäre so ein E-Bike noch nichts aber du leistet hier echte Pionierarbeit, gerade was Langstreckenreisen angeht.. Ich bin sehr gespannt auf das was da noch kommt 🙂👍
Warning of status of fast charging points on Italian highways: there are very few and spaced apart, often they are broken down or not operative. Talking from experience as my wife has an electric car with a 350 km range ….
Hi Marc, ich hatte etwas Zweifel, ob mir der Wechsel auf dein neues Bike gefällt, aber nach dem 2. Video bin ich schon begeistert. Ich freue mich auf weitere Videos und wünsche dir auf der Reise alles Gute.
… vor 2 Wochen noch mit meiner Africa Twin im Nebel und Regen über den Broken gefahren … Geilo, Dein 🏍 e-Bike … gute Fahrt und freue mich immer auf Deine Videos 🙌
I prefer the sound of my internal combustion engine, and the speed with which I can refuel, anywhere in the countryside and small villages!! but hey, you're doing an experiment, that's good! big V to you!
Thanks for the update on your ride. I think your hair looks fine. When I was young, I also cut my own hair sometimes. Besides, after wearing a helmet all day, our hair always looks weird. At least you hair hair, that more than I can say, I'm bald. I'll be following your ride around the world. Ride safe.
Hey Marc, you legend! Having been watching the EV scene for the last few years, the fastest charging appears to be 10-80%, so with it pausing above 90% that's likely due to the battery getting too hot and it pausing to cool. There's likely to be charging and everything all over the UK, but if you end up needing an overnight charge/camping space in the Cambridge area you're welcome at ours :) If not, have a great trip and enjoy the beauty of the world! \m/
Fun to watch! Was in Harz and were you were, June/July 2019. Believe you're right about the altitude/height! Lots of trees died due to drought back then. Really tragic to see. From the footage it looks like the damage isn't repaired by any means. Will go back there, and recommend to fellow riders to check it out. As for going electric, well I don't see that coming for me any time soon. Or at least not as long as the range is as limited as it is. My summer adventures/long rides are, on an average, 5-6500 kilometers. All depending on time. Last week returned home after 10 days and 5000 kilometers. With a substantially much more luggage. In a few years maybe. I can't afford to waste the time. Perhaps in 5-10yrs, we'll see. Cheers :)
Hi marc nice to see you on tour again i hope you make the trip work mate. When are you over England. Stay safe my friend watch out for the idiots on are roads. Mick from England 🏴.
And so it begins, fingers crossed Marc. But I'm sure your planning will get you there. Only to look forward to a few exciting mishaps....broken chargers and the like.
I was going to say if you make it to England, and you have problems, I live near the Dover ferry port, and run a small motorcycle Transport and recovery.... But i guess your arriving in maybe Harwich from Holland.... Thats about 300 mile from me.... good luck with the Trip
Hi Marc, starke Aktion. Auch wenn der Dound von deiner Maschine gewöhnungsbedürftig ist. Da warst du tatsächlich Mal in meiner Gegend. Hoffe die Fahrt nach Bad Karlshafen bei uns im Weserbergland hat dir gefallen. Gute Fahrt weiterhin
Hi Marc, what an awsome pioniering idea to do this on an Electric bike! Looking forward how it wil go in al the diferend country's. Charging in the netherlands won't be a problem becouse the chargers are growing like trees. If you are looking for some cool places to visit in the netherlands i like to ride at the national park the "Veluwe zoom" and "veluwe" with the "postbank" in it. From there to the ferry at Rotterdan it is a must to ride some "dijken" (the eleveted roads next to the rivers) like the "lekdijk" or "waaldijk". Its also cool to ride at the "Utrechtse heuvelrug" or when you Come in from the north is cool to ride the "afsluitdijk acros the "ijselmeer". When you Come from the South i dont know a lot of places but the "loonse and Drunense duinen" are pritty cool. This sunday there is a biker festival at Arnhem called motorfest. maybe cool to visit if it fits in your sceduel. Good Luck on your trip! If there are any problems send me a massage and meybe i can help.
This is one of the best things about the motorcycle community, it's the shared information like you've given here, I love that. Sadly my videos are too far behind my actual location for things like that right now, haha. I need to catch up with myself and edit like Marc does, daily or even every few days.
Thanx for your nice words! In my mind we all get better with sharing some i formation. Sometimes i have a hard time finding a nice route by speaking to a local that likes to show his country or neighborhood you can find the best roads. Here in the netherlands it can be realy flat and boring but when you want to see it and look for it the country can be butiful as well! But you have to get of the straight highwais en get on de b or even better c roads. Marc does a great job in editing but doing it daily does take a lot of time. I havent seen a video from you but will do it right now. Looking forward to see your trip and dream about doing somthing like this for my self as well. Maybe one day i can do it to but as you properly know there is always an excuse.
Hi Marc. Another good video! It'll be interesting seeing how you get on with the electric bike. If you're coming to Scotland avoid the A9 between Perth and Inverness. The Braemar/Tomintoul road is far nicer and only takes a wee while longer. North of Inverness it's worth taking the road in to Bonar Bridge then back out to Golspie on the east coast.
Be prepared for broken chargers in the UK, I don’t have an electric vehicle myself but one of my colleagues went electric a couple of years ago and broken or missing charging points seems to be one of the most common problems he has encountered.
I don't think that's fair. For a start, your colleague was probably experiencing issues with DC rapid chargers (as distinct from AC fast chargers). Sometimes there are broken rapid chargers, but trust me, as an EV owner since 2014 (and an electric motorcycle owner since 2016), things are so much better than they were three or four years ago. At least there is far more redundancy now. Marc is also riding a Zero which can charge at 6/11/22 kW AC charge points, and there are thousands of those around the place. Very worst case scenario, he just needs a standard power socket. In June, I did 2000 miles on my electric motorcycle (Land's End to John o'Groats in one stint) from the Midlands to Land's End to John o'Groats to top of Shetland, back to Aberdeen and then back to the Midlands and was able to charge everywhere (and there were two of us riding that journey too). Ignore the naysayers. The key to EV life is have a plan B for charging, just in case. Served me well for 8 years and I've never run out of battery.
this bike is charger down proof - bcoz this bike support only AC charging - AC points are cheap in bulit bcoz basicly its only relays inside - real charger is inside bike - also its a lot more AC points than DC he can even charge at private properties/hotels with full speed - for example energica emoto has DC fast charging but AC is only 3kW - 3kW means about 25-30km per hour
@@jtchivers More power to your elbow, well done! FWIW I rode an Energica from Dorset to Anglesey in 2016, in company with a Zero DS, and trail rode from London to Paris and back in 2018 with a pair of Zero DSRs.
@@pnblondon1087 I remember it well, P! I enjoyed the account of your ride to Paris. The trip I did in June on the Energica I did in 2017 on my Zero DSR, but it took a little longer! 🙂
Maybe you should pour some of that healing water on the Dominator! Joke aside, I admire your spirit of adventure. Not too many people would try a trek like yours on an electric motorcycle. I wisn you good luck on your journey.
In Canada there are some places where the train will stop so you can put your canoë on the train. It doesn't cost much and it beats all the portage. There are places where I don't feel the biking is particularly interesting, so I wish I could just piggyback on the train.
hi, again, phone the charge point provider sometimes the chargers need reset. Also always topup when parked for the night, the bike should be fully charged in the morning using your free trickle charger with mains electric at campsite or hotel / hostel.
Bringing a cable for charging is like bringing a hose to the petrolstation! Silly indeed! I have a Zero owner friend and when we ride in weekends, 5-6 bikes, he rides his MV Augusta. Otherwise the trip will be a chargingpoint-tour. Hmm...I will ask him to use his Zero next time so we can see for ourselfes what a batterybike requires. Thank you for a very wellmade film!
LOL , 341 kms and 2 charges ! How many minutes our hours lost in searching , in waiting ! A nice bike but a ridiculous autonomy ! Thank you for your vidéo , a good job you done , but i'm very quiet with my trail and it's 430 kms autonomy ! i'm very happy to refueled in 3mn my 20 liters ! you are a pionneer , greetings to you but for a long time it will not be my chosen bike . Good luck and have fun!
In Torfhaus war früher sehr viel mehr los. Seitdem die Gemeinde dort Parkgebühren verlangt, hat das sehr nachgelassen. Und der Brocken ist der höchste Berg in Norddeutschland.
Good luck on your adventure Marc it will be interesting seeing how you plan your route as charging points will inevitably shape it. So that possibly means never straying far from civilization. However your vids are a joy to watch and good luck mate.
as much as I enjoyed my motorbike I always felt like it was a great relief to switch off the engine noise after a drive...I would sure want an electric one if I was still young and driving.
I really like your new bike . I have been riding HD FLHTC for 25 years love it. I would probably really miss the sound of my Harley Davidson Evolution motor. Any way I enjoy following your adventures
Hey Marc, nice to hear you're heading to UK. For the first time? Little destination recommendation, it might be on your way, but Seven Sisters White cliffs near Eastbourne on south coast is beautiful place to visit. You'd love it! If you give me a little heads up we could meet there for coffee and chat 😉
So odd to see the footage without engine sound. Great experimendition for you and Eve. Be welcome for a ⚡️ when you are around Noordwijk in the coming days.
I wish you luck Marc✌I travel too far and into remoteness to consider an ebike. I enjoy long days in the saddle, and some riders don't😄 I'm sure infrastructure will challenge your adventure. It will be interesting to see this unfold. Told by a real traveller, like yourself. Not produced.
Good to see you coming to the UK Mark, you dont seem to have as much gear this time, no side panniers, and I'm missing the red back pack already 😂 NC500 here you come 🏴
I’ve heard with EVs that you should only charge to 80% otherwise the battery will get hot and it’s not good for it. Plus never run the battery down under 20% Well it’s just what I’ve heard on EV blogs Have a Safe trip! I enjoy your channel😁
The cable bag seems a very big deal, having to take that everywhere with you… I hope they come up with something directly mounted on the bike like a roller extension or something
Nice video as always 😎 Suggestions: It would be nice if you could give us an idea, if/how the planning of your daily trip is different than before. now you might have to look for charging stations when starting to drive to more remote locations. Do you use a specific app or do you have a rough idea where you can charge. Do you look more on the screen because you can’t tell at the moment what’s your average range is? Looking forward to see your next adventure 😊 ride safe 🙌
Good production, at little history with the right mixture of nature and riding. LOL, cut it myself. A little quite, maybe you need to put in Harley motorcycle exhaust background sound, Bach, or Rossini's Overture. 😃 Drive safe, and remember you're much more invisible than on a motorbike and people cannot hear you coming especially in a parking lot, around camp grounds or a crosswalk. Do you have to leave the key in the bike and turned on while charging?
hallo guten abend marc aber bei der richtigen geschwindigkeit wieviel km schaffst du nicht mit sechzig und wie lange dauert es einen gruß zu laden ok 😃👏
Nice to see you do this, I'm mean challenge the change in paradigm in terms of "electric travel"!!! I've been commuting to work since 2019 on a C-Evo LR (BMW) and clocked nearly 40 tkm so far - no regrets - and my Varadero SD02 (128 tkm!) is not too far from being exchanged by an Energica Experia. We need to prove the petrolheads that it can be done - it is the future of ecological & economical transportation! BTW - the last 10-15% during fast charging will always be slower due to the "balancing" of the cells - that is quite normal on all EVs ;-)
In which Galaxy? If we all went EV how would you even meet the demand for all that electricity. Europe may not even have enough to get through the winter without possible power outages. Germany has gone mad and decommisioned most of their nuclear powerplants - the only sustainable clean energy - in addition to be dependent on LPG from Putin which control the flow at his discretion. I do not foresee an all-out EV in the near future.
@@michaelandersen4745 Easy - plaster your roof w/ solar panels and put a battery in your garage. As for the vehicle choice - down-size to what you actually need. For the past 40-50 years Germans have lived/consumed beyond their means - its time to come to mind (nixfürungut) ;-)
I'm interested to see how you'll tackle the more remote places. In South America for example there is almost no EV infrastructure :( cheers and good journey
In Southamerica you find almost everywhere electricity ⚡️ that is what EVE needs, and they have the largest network of motorcyclist refugees and moto clubs, and the people gonna help you always, good luck Marc
@@alexcadena-michel3695can you just plug it in any 110v outlet? thought you needed a charging station... if just a common outlet works than yeah totally viable
Mate if you complete this trip, its probably the fist ever solo attempt on an electric motorcycle. Charlie and Ewan did it with manufacturers support, a convoy of support vehicles and a spare diesel generator on the back of a van. You are doing this solo, what a legend! Best of luck and have fun :)
Thanks!

In Canada there are some places where the train will stop so you can put your canoë on the train. It doesn't cost much and it beats all the portage. There are places where I don't feel the biking is particularly interesting, so I wish I could just piggyback on the train.
hi, again, phone the charge point provider sometimes the chargers need reset. Also always topup when parked for the night, the bike should be fully charged in the morning using your free trickle charger with mains electric at campsite or hotel / hostel.
Bringing a cable for charging is like bringing a hose to the petrolstation! Silly indeed!
I have a Zero owner friend and when we ride in weekends, 5-6 bikes, he rides his MV Augusta. Otherwise the trip will be a chargingpoint-tour. Hmm...I will ask him to use his Zero next time so we can see for ourselfes what a batterybike requires.
Thank you for a very wellmade film!
Great ride Marc eve looks great to ride must be cheaper on full then petrol my friend regards from Dave in 🇬🇧
Hi. I’m impatient to follow the next steps of your journey. Good night.
LOL , 341 kms and 2 charges ! How many minutes our hours lost in searching , in waiting ! A nice bike but a ridiculous autonomy ! Thank you for your vidéo , a good job you done , but i'm very
quiet with my trail and it's 430 kms autonomy !
i'm very happy to refueled in 3mn my 20 liters ! you are a pionneer , greetings to you but for a long time it will not be my chosen bike .
Good luck and have fun!
Revisiting some old content. Love that shot at 09:25. You couldn’t have set that up if you tried 😂
Hehe yeah sometimes I get really lucky with setting up…makes me happy too 🤗🙌🏼
In Torfhaus war früher sehr viel mehr los. Seitdem die Gemeinde dort Parkgebühren verlangt, hat das sehr nachgelassen. Und der Brocken ist der höchste Berg in Norddeutschland.
Great vid, safe travels
And I still like your humor so much!
Good luck on your adventure Marc it will be interesting seeing how you plan your route as charging points will inevitably shape it.
So that possibly means never straying far from civilization.
However your vids are a joy to watch and good luck mate.
as much as I enjoyed my motorbike I always felt like it was a great relief to switch off the engine noise after a drive...I would sure want an electric one if I was still young and driving.
Interesting! Looking forward. Regards
I really like your new bike . I have been riding HD FLHTC for 25 years love it. I would probably really miss the sound of my Harley Davidson Evolution motor. Any way I enjoy following your adventures
You should treat yourself to a go on a Harley LiveWire. Much more fun than an FLHTC IMO!
Hey Marc, nice to hear you're heading to UK. For the first time? Little destination recommendation, it might be on your way, but Seven Sisters White cliffs near Eastbourne on south coast is beautiful place to visit. You'd love it! If you give me a little heads up we could meet there for coffee and chat 😉
"Es ist nice and low" 😆
It happens to me a lot🙈
There not many change box in uk so u have to look hard for them but can’t wait until u get here look forward to meeting u💖
Your little mum is so cute!
Looks like your cell phone are shacking a little bit ! Congrats for your new moto, electromoto
Don't forget Maree!
😉
Ride safe 😎🤘
That was quick, I wonder what could be charging speeds if motorcycles were using Chademo charging plugs.
It's a fantastic looking bike mate glad you're enjoying it kinda reminds of a Yamaha MT 👍
I like it too 👍🏼
Seems to overheat at 92% just charge from 10 to 80% all the time. This is the fastest option for road trips.
Hi Marc
Sorry but i missed the Domi so much...but a nice new bike....the quite riding is amazing..
So odd to see the footage without engine sound. Great experimendition for you and Eve. Be welcome for a ⚡️ when you are around Noordwijk in the coming days.
Am finding I'm making 'brmmmm' noises in the bike scenes just to normalise it in my head ! Watching in anticipation Mark ☺️
I wish you luck Marc✌I travel too far and into remoteness to consider an ebike. I enjoy long days in the saddle, and some riders don't😄
I'm sure infrastructure will challenge your adventure. It will be interesting to see this unfold. Told by a real traveller, like yourself. Not produced.
Good to see you coming to the UK Mark, you dont seem to have as much gear this time, no side panniers, and I'm missing the red back pack already 😂 NC500 here you come 🏴
I’ve heard with EVs that you should only charge to 80% otherwise the battery will get hot and it’s not good for it.
Plus never run the battery down under 20%
Well it’s just what I’ve heard on EV blogs
Have a Safe trip!
I enjoy your channel😁
I am watching you !
Trinidad & Tobago.
West Indies.
Liion batteries can not be charged to 100% on fast charging, this is to protect the battery from overheating. Usually the cutoff is at 80%.
The cable bag seems a very big deal, having to take that everywhere with you… I hope they come up with something directly mounted on the bike like a roller extension or something
Nice video as always 😎
Suggestions:
It would be nice if you could give us an idea, if/how the planning of your daily trip is different than before. now you might have to look for charging stations when starting to drive to more remote locations. Do you use a specific app or do you have a rough idea where you can charge. Do you look more on the screen because you can’t tell at the moment what’s your average range is?
Looking forward to see your next adventure 😊 ride safe 🙌
@marctravels its so good to see your vlogs can you please tell what bike is this
Yeaaahh! You go!!
But what about Maree? Is she meeting you or?
Have a safe trip 🇩🇰🙏🏍
Yeah she might 🤗
Eve seems to suit you beautifully 💜
Good production, at little history with the right mixture of nature and riding. LOL, cut it myself. A little quite, maybe you need to put in Harley motorcycle exhaust background sound, Bach, or Rossini's Overture. 😃 Drive safe, and remember you're much more invisible than on a motorbike and people cannot hear you coming especially in a parking lot, around camp grounds or a crosswalk. Do you have to leave the key in the bike and turned on while charging?
No you actually have to turn it off before charging. It wouldn’t charge with ignition on🤙🏼
EVE is apt for electric vehicle. You are gonna kill it, looking forward to the adventure. 👍🏻
hallo guten abend marc aber bei der richtigen geschwindigkeit wieviel km schaffst du nicht mit sechzig und wie lange dauert es einen gruß zu laden ok 😃👏
Nice to see you do this, I'm mean challenge the change in paradigm in terms of "electric travel"!!!
I've been commuting to work since 2019 on a C-Evo LR (BMW) and clocked nearly 40 tkm so far - no regrets - and my Varadero SD02 (128 tkm!) is not too far from being exchanged by an Energica Experia. We need to prove the petrolheads that it can be done - it is the future of ecological & economical transportation!
BTW - the last 10-15% during fast charging will always be slower due to the "balancing" of the cells - that is quite normal on all EVs ;-)
EV's are pretty cool, but the future of ecological & economical transportation is public transport.
In which Galaxy? If we all went EV how would you even meet the demand for all that electricity. Europe may not even have enough to get through the winter without possible power outages. Germany has gone mad and decommisioned most of their nuclear powerplants - the only sustainable clean energy - in addition to be dependent on LPG from Putin which control the flow at his discretion. I do not foresee an all-out EV in the near future.
@@michaelandersen4745 Easy - plaster your roof w/ solar panels and put a battery in your garage. As for the vehicle choice - down-size to what you actually need.
For the past 40-50 years Germans have lived/consumed beyond their means - its time to come to mind (nixfürungut) ;-)
I'm interested to see how you'll tackle the more remote places. In South America for example there is almost no EV infrastructure :( cheers and good journey
In Southamerica you find almost everywhere electricity ⚡️ that is what EVE needs, and they have the largest network of motorcyclist refugees and moto clubs, and the people gonna help you always, good luck Marc
@@alexcadena-michel3695can you just plug it in any 110v outlet? thought you needed a charging station... if just a common outlet works than yeah totally viable
Geht echt gut das Elektro pike sind aber sehr teuer tolles Video 👍👍👍
