A campaigner for clean energy and a journalist who’s already toured Iceland, Mongolia and the Sahara by pedelec, set out from Glasgow last November to start the first leg of their journey to Cape Town by electric bike.



The lead rider of the expedition is Cape Town born, Glasgow based co-founder of The Purple Heart Network, Bruce MacLeod.

The E-Bike Africa tour is the first campaign of new Scottish Charity, who explained: “We want environmentally sensitive and sustainable technologies to be affordable, accessible and practical for everyone in Scotland and beyond so that everyone can play a meaningful part in tackling climate change”.

A great enterprise, but it also shows how widely pedelec law can be flouted. They've ridden using S class speed pedelecs, illegal unregistered motor vehicles in the UK, France and Italy which they've ridden through.
