- Imagine I could have used the full capacity of my battery this whole time? It would have made such a big difference for me. 30000km Berlin to India only on 90% every day. Well, I made it anyways. Just a bummer I can only access 1 of my 3 charging units and it’s not even the big one;) downgrade to standard model I guess. Going to Jaipur now and the traffic friends, the traffic is kinda crazy but I will get used to it for sure!

The green numberplated scooter is electrically driven Marc, green numberplates means electric, yellow means commercial, white means privately owned, blue means consulate vehicle, what you are doing oneday, I do it everyday for my job, the same road acrobatics, 😊
Crazy man, mad respect 🤙🏼
If you want then I can discuss about repairing the broken charger with my friend who is a very good experience in electronic repairs, I'll talk with him only if you wish
@@lonelyhighwayadvnit’s all good man, the main issue lies in the way these charging stations are configured and how the power reaches my bike…but i don’t know that yet in the videos…in real life I’m a little smarter already;) thanks for the offer
@@MarcTravels what is the on board charger capacity of your bike and is it 3 phase or single phase
@@ankfrost3 phase
No matter how much traffic there is in INDIA but the Drivers here are synced with each other while jammed traffic it still keeps moving
That is true 👍🏼
India have very good medicine facilities at very much affordable prices. You can show your knee problem to a good doctor here.
Will do
Brother it's India you will see changes in some distance how you travel ☺️ so you will see many people mostly help full people and Love from India 🇮🇳
Yes, Bharat don't need such traver from EUROPE whose countries are looters of world.Dear keep cool and ready to embress every situation then only will able to enjoy diversity, food, beauty and wilderness 😊
Yeah I know, it‘ll be awesome 🙌🏼🇮🇳
@@MarcTravels ❤yup
@@MarcTravelsbro don't do this🙌 yo should do this🙏

I’m English. I spent 5 years in India. Working, and travelling. Commuting everyday on two wheels in the city and most weekends out riding in the sticks. Did a 4 month tour as well. I love the place and the people. 5 years was not enough………
Just make riding two wheels a game…..sure it’s tiring, especially at night or in the city at rush hour. But man it’s fun
Head south from Goa to the Western Ghatts if you can.
Extend your visa in Nepal you won’t regret it. Jai Ho
I will extend for sure
Ride between 10 am-5 pm day
Ride after 10 pm night
If u want to avoid rush

India is diverse. It is said that language and food changes every few miles. Wish you a good stay here in India.
Ik d traffic is bad in India but it varies from State to State, for example in a State like Odisha Traffic rules are so strict, there are speed cams & cctv everywhere and people obey the laws while some states have no civic sense and they don't let the disobeyers pay hefty fines so people take advantage .
Alright 👍🏼
Bruh cameras are everywhere in India. It's nothing new.
@@saksham2525 true population of that particular region also plays a big role
@@saksham2525for example, Kerala AI cameras will fine you if both pax are not without helmet in a two Wheeler.
@@arjunraj823 bruh wdym? AI cameras are literally in every square of tier 1 and tier 2 Indian cities. Whoever doesn't follow the signal, AI detects their number plate, scans their head and then it sends a challan to their home. It's common everywhere.
As a kid I decided that one day I would ride my bike to India. I’ve learned that it can suck to fulfil your dreams sometimes. But hey, nobody said it was easy. India still keeps waiting for me, but I’m sure I’m gonna make it. One thing I’ve noticed watching your videos : looks like I need a spare horn. Yours is in well usage
Wait a few years.. Many expressways are under construction.
In like 5 years, it'll be a lot easier, a lot of projects are under construction.
@@strikergamer2979 dude, it’s 30 years ago when I was 18. things start to get much harder to achieve these days. I’m not saying that I’ve given up. But it’s getting more complicated to just leave and make a run for the border. Family, job. etc
you will do just fine.
Marc…. Dont hesitate to use the horn … and especially because ur ride is so silent….. it can be extremely dangerous when passing others
Yes will do
It was very good to come across the father and son and the caravaners. You support each other in everything. Very good💘👌👍
In that trailer there is no wheat grain only wheat husk so that's why they are carrying very easily on tractor1
Alright thanks
Hey marc love from India 🇮🇳
I was thinking about your bike's charging issue
Try to charge your bike on a 25kw or more powerful charger which has a type 2 charger cable as they are 3phase
And love your videos I'm following your videos since Iran 🇮🇷
Yes will try
Please do as much as vlogs, while you are in India. I enjoy it alot. I love my India❤
Welcome to India, I am sure you'll have great time here. Loved the background music used in traffic
Thanks! 😃
Actually whole india is digging up at present so you will see more crowd for some year 😅😅 hopefully after 4-5 years things will be normal
Great video thank you very well done thanks for taking us along cheers to ya.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi im from India but now im in England India is not bad from England India people heart is big then England people i can feel that. Anyways welcome to India ❤❤❤
You are probably a champ if you would play tetris :-), that is how the traffic feels that last video's. Nice to see the people are really friendly. Good luck and I wish you safe travels!
That's a great vlog Marc. Thanks for sharing it 🔥
Glad you enjoyed it
Good to see you covering some ground, I wish & surely you can cover a place to visit/site seeing on the way of your rides
Will do sightseeing next video
Great video Marcus, keep it up!
Brilliant video Marc, that traffic is definitely not for the faint hearted! Stay safe you guys 👍🏻👍🏻
HAHA you're already a professional. Good to see you all smiling and enjoying! 👍🇮🇳
Yeah give me a few days I’ll be racing through the chaos 🙌🏼
Sure you will get many crazy experience in india you have to be aware and safe while driving your motor , welcome to india bro 🎉❤
I misheard. I thought you said that those trailers were overloaded with weed, not wheat. My first thought was that explains the traffic mayhem.
😂
Your charger is ok and your bike also. The network provides only one phase to the charger at max 32A. The onboard charger in your bike is limited to 16A and because it can only use 1 of 3 chargers this provides only 3.2kW. For more power you need a 3 phase network and wallbox. Only some electric vehicles can use 32A at 1 phase.
All cars can in India
I took the liberty of checking out your specific year and configuration wiring diagram.
You have the following connections on your Type2 port.
Earth
Common Neutral
Live1 - 3Kw Charger single Lower unit
Live2 - 3Kw Charger single Lower unit (premium spec)
Live3 - 2 X 3Kw chargers charge tank
Swap L1 and L3 on the bike wiring going to the Type2 port to have the 6Kw L3 charger on L1 single phase.
This means on any single phase charger you can charge up to 6Kw.
This also leaves L2 and L3 as 3Kw capable, so you can still charge at 12Kw on 3 phase chargers without having to mess about with switches, wiring etc.
Option 2 (I wouldn't do this, but it is possible) Join L1 and L2 for 6Kw single phase public charging, but do not join these and plug in to a 3 phase supply. Bad things will happen. :D
Best of luck!

Hey Mark do visit Madhya Pradesh if you're still in India. Enjoy the nice weather and do try indori poha. Happy journey.
Hi Marc, I also had a motorbike like yours, if you charge with a maximum 7kw single-phase charger you can charge at 3kw. when you use a three-phase charger you will see that everything will be ok. Thanks for your videos, I always follow you with great interest. Hello and have a good trip.
Brother please visit North East India this is least crowded area and and lot of beauty nature
Awesome adventure, thanks for the video :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was some crazy traffic... nice riding.... Stay safe.
Thanks 👍
A new definition for hectic traffic Marcus! I hope the knee improves soon! 😀😀
It‘ll be Fine 😊
Currently india is under huge development phase.. You will find road jams and traffic blocks due to various infra projects being constructed...
Great vid' again Marc, traffic's a bit like a video game 😉 Schön Grüß aus Niedersachsen, 8°c mit regen und Bike immernoch in teilen 😭
I subscribed you. Enjoying better than Netflix. I’ll watch all your India series
hospital fees is cheap in india dude go check that knee out
Happy for you Marc.
I know you will enjoy it.

Those massive block pulled by the tractor 🚜 even me I'm seeing it for the first time.. 😅
That's not heavy
Welcome to you sir India
Long live 🇮🇳🐅🙏 india and Germany ❤
Le damos una bienvenida a mi hermoso país. No olviden de visitar a Ayodhya

Hey Marc watching you from your iran vlogs I really like your content vlog keep it up bro
This is India ... You have to manage everything... And you'll get everything done easily 👍
Wild ride thru the traffic. beautiful city view. lot of people. should be good eats. Raffy is something, what a life and experience
Thanks for another wonderful video...
Good job love from India 🎉❤
Cheers mate
Regarding your comment about 14.4kWh vs. 17.3kWh battery, if your bike originally came with the 14.4 battery and it has been replaced with the new generation battery, Zero won't unlock the 17.3kWh capacity for you (or the rest of us). 17.3kWh will only be possible if the bike was originally manufactured with that 17.3 battery. That was what I was told, at least, having something to do with how they made their battery retro kit. If you have the new battery on the older SR/F, you do get 15.3kWh capacity available. More than the original capacity, at least.
Welcome to India Marc.. drive safe ❤
Hey i am the new subscriber of your channel , from india ........................................✨
Thanks for subbing!
Love your vlogs brother ❤
Glad you like them!
Hii sr. Welcome to India
Love from India bro ❤
trafic jam reminds me of the every morning horror in Luxembourg 😂 quite rhe same scenario but without mopeds😂
Haha man it’s wild 🤪
Waiting to watch your videos mate.you might encounter big traffic in almost all the cities in India and things will changes with state to state like language,traditions Even the water tastes different from one state to other.India is unity in diversity.
❤
I m from India, and right now, India has very limited resources in EV because it has been 3-4 years for India to enter the EV industries. It is still in the developing phase in infrastructure for EVs in India. There are very few 2-wheeler EV dealers in India.
You can check with the nearest Ather dealer but can't be guaranteed that they can fix ur problem wat u are facing. Just you can try it for the hope once.
I was thinking of installing a pair of new tyres for my bike. And I will choose #continental because they support you. Good job guys! Let's do this!
Yeah and the Conti Road Attack 4 are great tires
😂by the this is the kind of welcome. You will be enjoying India. Just feel everything....
Hë Marc are you doing well traffic in India is nuts😂 be how do you so cool in so much traffic..be safe 😎✌️
Welcome to India ❤
You should try OLA service centre for your charging problems they may help as they are the biggest EV scooter producers in India......
Hi Marc, do you know if those public chargers are three phase or single phase? You need a three phase charger to activate more than one charger on the bike.
All the best for your trip, absolutely love your videos!
Wlc to India 🎉🎉🎉
Hi Marc, what a great journey you have! Got your channel in recommended recently and am following new videos since then. I have a question on what are your Insta360 Go2 little camera holders at the mirror and the helmet? Thanks and please keep having fun with your challenging trip :)
Nice vlogs i love it bro❤
"yay i think i made it" to "holy cow" was awesome :))
2:37 It's Wheat husk, It is used to make plywood, for animal feed, burning fuel etc. It is light in weight, that's why are they are carrying that volume.
3:10 It is not Wheat, I think it is Hay.
When you came in India it was the harvest season hence so many trucks of hay.
This man documented the whole traffic
Pls include food (breakfast, lunch, dinner) videos also if possible...love to see your reactions on Indian food...✌💥
Probably not 😅 and I only eat once a day anyways
11:44 nothing gone wrong that's how they take out the wheat husk😅
Ah ja really?🤣
@@MarcTravels yaa🤣🤣
My understanding of battery life is that it can be severely shortened by charging to 100% on a regular basis. My early Mercedes Benz electric car was designed to cut off at 80% to prolong battery life. It has a switch to charge to 100% but comes with a warning that repeated use will cause early loss of battery capacity. So restricting your charging to 90% may save you from trouble later in your trip.
In the Purs the traffic goes crazy man, watch my words… And follow the little mopeds and enjoy the ride: no stress 😅
Have you ever replaced the battery since starting out? Does the continuous charge and discharge affected your range?
Original battery was already broken when I bought the motorcycle
So many trucks😮 ur friends truck will take ages to reach destination😊
Nice video🎉🎉🎉
It is not wheat but remains of wheat left over after taking out grain
Bro u should visit ladakh ,leh , and pangnok lake u will love it
Hi Marcus, You may have answered this many times, but why don't you turn your red bag parallel instead of perpendicular? It might need a plank at bottom or something to keep from sagging...but would save kwh with better aero. Thx and I am enjoying being along for the ride!
It doesn’t make a difference 🤙🏼
Do travel to ladakh you will love it ...Also come to north east india beautiful place
Come to J&K and you will get , wider roads, less traffic , great scenes and mountains, plains, rivers, snow. You will feel like heaven.
Be ready for the cold climate
If possible do explore either Leh in north or Arunachal Pradesh in east.......you won't regret it.......you might checkout other moto vloggers who visited these places.....its magnificent
Good to see you Enjoying India
How about a High Viz coat especially at Night 😊
Safe Journey 😅
I'm behind in your videos (only just got to this one), did you wind up fixing the broken onboard charger?
Keep watching 😊🤙🏼
Tractor trailors are filled with chaff, also known as 'bhoosa' in Hindi, which is used as cattle fodder. Because the load is light, the chaff is overpacked into trucks and tractors for transportation....
@MarcTravels there is a certain rule which is known in local language as "no entry" it means that goods transporting commercial vehicles and large vehicles, of the city/visiting or passing through the city, can only operate after late evening i.e. at approx. 10-11pm so suddenly all those vehicles waiting whole day jump into action "as soon as No Entry opens" _ now you know reason behind some of the traffic, another factor at play is if you are enroute to a residential side of a city most office goers (majority on two wheels & there aren't mopeds 99% are 125cc or higher motorbikes & scooters) are returning home so you were in the middle of rush hour end and "no entry opening's start, hence: traffic. One more thing those large overload looking weren't wheat instead it is hay and farm feed, there's hardly any weight in it that's why they are able to carry it enclosed in a huge sack like material, all such transport have to first go on weigh scale (known as Dharamkanta) get a recipt of the net weight before plying on road, the recipt can be asked by any traffic officer that's why it's madatory but size wise there's much flexibility so that's why it seems overloaded and yes driving that on road surely requires skilled driver due to such drag that's why you also saw a spillover by some rookie tractor driver. i hope these explanation of some nuances help you understand better, and One thing man, please work on your titles make them more sweeter & inviting they are giving sarcasm vibes please take notice, and for thumbnail include only the truck images which exist in the country, the bedford like truck on your thumbnail doesn't exist in india.
That truck doesn’t exist at all, it’s created by AI;)
That restaurant at the end looked sweet.
Yeah that was really good
Marc, I contacted Zero asking them to help you out. They tell me that they are working with you on that. Great news!
Yes 🙌🏼
Wish you a happy journey plzz doo visit Kolkata ( westbengal) amd enjoy the city and villages love you ♥️
Great video Marc try some Tiger balm on your knees bro works great for my knees get it anywhere in India bro Dave in 🇬🇧

Nice video , When this journey is done and you no longer use the bike that much, don’t sell it, trade it or give away because there will come a time many years from now you’ll wish you had it
I will never sell that bike
@@MarcTravels I say that because back in the day I had a 1974 900 Kawasaki Z1 and unfortunately my youthful mindset didn’t realize the strong memories that a material object like that bike brought me would, could evoke and I sold it, biggest regret ever, I wish I’d of put it in storage somewhere if I wasn’t going to ride it , anyway enjoy your adventure
That was like a racing video game 😮
Hello Mark, congratulations for your stories.
Wy you do never mention your helmet ?
Grazie
We just got Independence 76 years back. It's a big country with huge population so will take time to come at par with Western world's systematic approach. But we are trying and sorry for the bad traffic from our side.
All good I’ll get used to it quickly 🤩
