Start: May 2009, Beijing, China
End: August 2012, Olympic Village London, England

After months of research Guim Valls Teruel of Barcelona Spain has chosen a Wisper 905se City S electric bicycle to be the most suitable for this momentous trip.

An experience never attempted before by one person on an electric bicycle - an alternative form of personal transportation highlighting the use of cleaner energy sources and living with less reliance on traditional combustion energy. Touring the world in an eco-friendly way, to promote and encourage the development of a global culture of energy conservation and waste reduction. In collaboration with an NGO whose focus is on international environmental projects, “one kilometer – one hope”.

A global adventure on an electric bicycle through 5 continents starting at the last Olympic city Beijing and finishing at the next Olympic city London via a candidate city Madrid.

Objective: Tour all 5 continents of the globe using an environmentally friendly method of transportation, the electric bicycle, to demonstrate and promote the use of alternative transport options that have less negative impact on our planet.

All the best David

David,

That's excellent news!!

So does this mean we now have some friendly rivalry going on between bike manufacturers for endurance trips?

Will we see Mr Ching and Mr Miall in a head to head race across the Sarangetti!?!? ;-)

Cheers

Clean machine

There's no grease or oil to get to get your hands or clothes dirty. No foul exhaust or gasoline fumes and it never leaks oil. You can safely store an electric vehicle in your home or apartment.

Yeah, right.
That's quite some trip but I don't inderstand why it's taking 3 years, it looks like roughly 20,000 miles which could be done comfortably in a year.
Will he be getting a barman's job in Australia to finance the rest of the trip? I shall be watching with interest.

Great news!

nor leave a trail of exhaust fumes in their wake, they provide the opportunity to reduce
your personal environmental impact and improve local air quality.

Hmmm, depends on what the rider has eaten, surely 57 varieties dontchaknow

I would use a generator (run of gas supply) and Inverters
