I finally have the Fastest Electric Motorcycle in the World! FIRST RIDE (137hp, 1000nm)

I finally have the Fastest Electric Motorcycle in the World! FIRST RIDE (137hp, 1000nm)

are you ready to see my new motorcycle I don’t even know how to describe it because it’s unlike anything you have seen before Check this out Look at this bike guys Oh my god And this is the motor 135 horsepower what the That’s a pretty cool bike right I don’t know guys I haven’t seen anything like it before and I’m   so freaking excited to ride this bike from here from Switzerland to the UK to the ABR festival let’s just do it I still can’t believe it guys to be honest like you have this uh key card I just put it in here and 
this is how I turn it on just with a freaking key card and look at this massive rear tire 240 and it’s also the motor insane Good day Marc Travels Well let’s just ride and I’ll just explain to you what happened and why I’m sitting on this bike right now But we’re having a 1,100 km to go Power on yes okay And I’m now on my way to the UK to the ABR festival and obviously I needed a motorcycle I got in touch with the guys of verge because I wanted this motorcycle since I saw it first time And for me it just blew my mind when I saw this so and it finally happened now they thought it’s a good idea and as you guys know I did like 70,000 kilometers on Eve 25 countries I’m not quite new to this whole electric thing so and they thought it’s a good idea to give me the bike and just do my thing with it I flew here to Zurich yesterday and Spencer and Troy from Verge Motorcycle came here yesterday two bikes loaded and uh we’re hanging out the whole day They explained me the bike we took some cool footage we’re riding we’re meeting another owner in Lucerne that was also pretty cool this bike is still very exclusive and I got one of them now and you know it’s it’s basically not much different from Eve just that it has more power It’s a little bit quieter and all in all newer and yeah just like Eve is just a ton of fun obviously it comes in different riding modes and there’s a bunch of things that I can show you I mean I will talk about the bike a lot as you guys know me I probably will not shut up about it but I’m actually having a little bit of a time pressure because I have to be in the UK at the ABR festival in 2 days and we have 1,100 kilometers to go and I don’t know much about the motorcycle I don’t really know how much range I will get out of it you know like it depends heavily on how I’m going to ride it oh but man this road is pretty awesome here so yeah I will you know play around with the different modes and everything obviously it has like traction control ABS and cruise control as well which is 
pretty cool just in case I have to   go on the highway which I try 
to avoid but I might have to I think the bike is also a little bit heavier than Eve I can feel that probably because of the massive motor wheel and the battery is also bigger I’m pretty sure I’m going to have a good time on this bike and I’m happy to bring you guys along we’ll test it out together we’ll find out what is going on with it like I’m sure you know since it’s so new and they’re constantly developing the software as well so I might find the one or the other bug maybe maybe not I don’t 
know oh but oh my god the acceleration is just crazy this bike has 1,000 Newton meter torque can you freaking believe it I have to take it easy though 
we’re in Switzerland after all Look how beautiful it is here wow Wow and Calimoto did it again wow what a road this is here Look at that view Wow Also bikers out wow incredible Oh but it is hard the bike is 
really made for sport riding Also new I have my rear brake on the left side   of the handlebar instead of a 
clutch I have a rear brake ooh which it takes some getting used to but it’s actually quite nice Hello
– Hello where do you go? Ah okay cool and you? England yeah there’s a motorcycle festival ABR festival adventure bike rider festival wonderful roads here what’s the range? Have to figure it out only have since yesterday maybe 200 -250 km I don’t have more either First thing people always ask is about the range obviously but with this bike I’m not really sure Like I don’t really know yet today I did 106 km but I didn’t charge it full and I didn’t level it I fast charge it So I can’t really tell like I have a charging station in like 60 kilometer I hope I can make that I should be able to make that And then we’ll see But they’re doing a trip around here can’t blame them these roads No way Okay guys that was surprisingly easy 
like it worked with the cashless payment That is so cool that wasn’t a thing 3 years ago when I started and now that I have DC charging this bike charges so fast Like I’ve been charging for 3 minutes already a kilowatt hour Uh yeah 1.3 kW hours already But as soon as I go up over 80% it will slow down so I think it makes sense to charge her up now for like 10 minutes 15 minutes to 80% and then I will just keep going but that is cool I mean there’s nothing around here to buy food or anything but doesn’t matter like I’m happy 88% in 22 minutes I charged like 60% in 22 minutes okay but that’s enough now scanned it stop and release cable Releasing Okay well okay cool well I guess I find out later what I paid But this is cool oh no fault detected But okay fault detected that happened before but I thought they would fix that Just turn it off now and see if it went away No fault detected call service ah that’s a bummer now yeah see that’s what I mean that can happen Okay I’ll have to give the guys a call but uh I think I’ll do that later We have to keep going now But it still rides though Yeah it just says that now call service 
and I can’t access the percentage and stuff Okay Okay I’ll do it now So I did what the bike told me and called the service and we just did a quick reset and the uh latest update that didn’t happen yesterday I thought we did it yesterday but we didn’t do it so we should be good now the journey continues guys we’re already in France I didn’t even notice there wasn’t even a sign or nothing That’s crazy but we are in France I just 
noticed because of the car license plates I mean that looked like a still like a Swiss sign but the cars were all French I don’t know I can’t see the border on the maps right now It’s freaking windy too But I’m pretty sure Yeah it’s all France this way Okay hello France then oh I love that That’s how it should be just go and then you’re different country bam and everything is in French Fun fact I had French 5 years in school forgot everything Anyway I’m so happy about how Verge are really on to it and not just with me I noticed that yesterday when I met another customer they’re really on to it You know they actually pick up the phone when you call you know what I mean so yeah that is what I was missing so much with my previous bike I am so happy that we do this together now let’s see how the next charging stop is going to be I hope I hope as smooth as the first one 100 kilometer welcome to the French countryside We’re leaving the mountains now Okay bro it seems to be on yeah 9% battery left That’s quite okay Okay well I think no I don’t have to turn it off Uh I hope I can start it with plugshare let me figure this out Yes Yes guys we are charging that’s awesome I’m very happy so far so far that works pretty well with these DC chargers awesome So now but it now jumped right away to 20% But it’s really jumpy so yeah I’ll just have to learn the bike just have to learn Now I put in like 8 kilowatt hours and 
I think like 8 kilowatt hours will bring me like 100 kilometer I think So let’s see we’ll learn the bike we have to I already miss the Asian charging stations you know with the restaurants and shops and ah good times I mean I could find that here too I just have to make a more of an effort I think But I like you know I bought food in 
Lidl very cheap so it’s really cool and good food you know fruits and some bread like apples little bit of pizza protein bars So yeah I’ll be all right I think I’ll have to make at least 200 more kilometers today just to be safe I just drove past this DC station I was just like “Okay I’ll plug in for a little bit 10 minutes.” And look at that that’s pretty cool a 24-hour pizza station that’s pretty 
cool But yeah there’s nothing here just little towns and even here you can find a charging station has really improved especially for DC stations There’s so many everywhere Yeah now going through France is going to be a little bit boring I reckon But uh I have cruise control that’s awesome and I also have these front footpegs like on both sides like a second pair of footpegs that I can use I think it’s actually the rear ones are actually for a passenger I think And then you have these front ones like you sit a little bit more like on a Harley or something like that but for my knees it’s actually brilliant You can switch it up a little bit so yeah now it says like 120 km range but I mentioned before like the software is very very jumpy Like it changes like all the time see now it’s it’s already jumped to 59% and 114 kilometer but as soon as I go down the mountain it will go up again But then again you know like it’s still there’s still developing all the time So this is going to be improved in the future But so far so good I must say it’s much more comfortable than Eve To me it just feels natural to sit on this bike even when going boring highway So let’s see still 150 km at least to go probably more I want to be in the UK tomorrow I want to take the train tomorrow to the UK so let’s see Oh yeah GS that’s much more comfortable for sure This charging stations they charge with up to 400 kilowatt I guess it’s just for like Teslas and stuff like that I think uh the 
Verge here only charges with yeah 21 kilowatts 21 Check this out there’s fans going here left and right Yeah I think behind here is the battery cables to the motor This is just the craziest thing ever 1,000 Newton meter torque Insane But yeah I’m at uh 91% the power goes down now I charged 27 28 minutes Stop to release Finished Turn it off turn back on charge finished Done And it cost us €5 That was a bit more expensive here Maybe because that is the 400 kw Good evening Marc Travels yeah a long day almost 500 kilometer already I want to go to Reims Uh it’s going to be like another 130 I think But there’s these cheap hotels premier class and stuff like that and a charging station So I will go there and just uh find a hotel for the night I just want to get to the UK that’s the main thing now for me And then in the UK I can take it easy a little bit Explore after the festival that will be fun actually 82% yeah see before it says 91 So that’s all a little bit uh wonky But it’s okay I’m getting to know the 
bike and how it works Reims 120 kilometer I should make that easy even on the highway Look at the beautiful sunset guys Now that’s a sunset wow Okay charging I went quite low under 5% and it throws like all sorts of warnings and stuff battery very low but uh yeah no problem uh I’m trying to get a hotel room now at the Ibis budget Let’s see I hope it’s not too expensive but at least I can charge her here should be full in like maybe an hour Let’s see maybe I can top her up like fully So the Ibis is fully booked and there’s a mercure but it’s like four star It’s probably way too expensive And it’s already midnight almost I feel like I want to go to Calais where the tunnel is it’s just another 4 hours more I might just skip the night because I would just check into a hotel now work sleep a couple hours pay a lot of money I have to go to the UK Yeah guys we’re doing this I did that before Just makes no sense now to get a room riding through the night Yeah just makes sense at least in my head Uh we charged 47 minutes 12.1 kw hours for €7.50 Not bad so 97% it’s not really because the cells are not balanced So I reckon it would be more like 
80 I have to balance the cells like I have to slow charge Like I could do it on these but I don’t I didn’t bring the cable And here in Europe we always need the cable for the AC Um I’ll do that in in when I have a hotel but not tonight Let’s go guys off to the UK Can’t wait I love the UK I’m so happy to be back Look at those guys they’re also 
working what are they doing I think it’s potatoes must be potatoes Yeah it’s not super easy riding at night I’m   getting tired now but it’s okay If they can do it I can do it Remember we talked about it before in the vlog no more AC charging for me DC is just so much better First of all in every town they have these charging stations like every town I can just open plugsurfing and yeah they’re all there And second of all it’s so freaking fast I just plugged in a couple minutes ago Almost 2 kilowatt hours already it’s crazy And they always work they always work definitely no more AC charging DC only All right 93% moving on Wow Check how big these rigs are freaking massive The only thing that is a bit weird is like they always block like €30 each time I plug in so uh they block quite an amount of money I don’t know how long it will take to release it But imagine you don’t have money on your bank account like a lot because a tank is only like a few euro So that’s always a bit weird But we’re charging I don’t even know how often we charge today But soon at the port Okay we have to hurry now booked the ferry ticket and then I read like I have to be there 75 minutes prior I can just make that charged up let’s go Press to check in Okay that’s my hangar Okay woo so we made it in time easy easy easy easy Border control yeah I can charge there perfect Awesome Here I’ll just do that Tesla doesn’t matter And we’re charging I have to go to border control right away I didn’t know I thought I have to go inside but no Okay okay hello passport German it’s okay yeah English control okay thank you Bye okay just in the English one UK border of course I mean yeah obviously Remember guys last time I’ve been here was with Eve Yeah no big deal made it in time now we have to wait a little bit super excited want us to wait here I think let the cars 
on
– Yeah For everybody that doesn’t know we’re literally driving our motorcycles now on a train And that train goes under the sea Oh [ __ ] Oh no Stay [ __ ] hell Oh my god oh probably happens when you don’t sleep Yeah that train goes under the sea to the UK and it takes like 30 minutes How cool is that guys right Wow Go that side
– That side park here okay like this Sweet Now we put that back on we good to go right yeah okay that was it already Uh only 30 minutes and the whole thing cost €150 I think Not cheap but I think worth 
it Ferry is cheaper takes longer I could have done the ferry actually but I thought that would be like a cool thing for you to see it’s kind of special and unique When do you get the chance to drive your motorcycle into a freaking train right nice one Ciao yeah last time I only did it from 
the other side coming from the UK back Okay I have to collect myself now Figure out where I’m going to stay We still have 300 kilometers to go so let’s do that So the bike is probably right now balancing the cells and what it says here with the 275 km could be actually the real range of the bike I’m not quite sure yet because I was always fast charging it and never fully full So but we’ll find out together so I’m going to go to my hotel now I’m going to have a little nap maybe and then I’m going to start editing so I can publish this video tomorrow before I go to the ABR festival And then hopefully I’ll meet a bunch of you guys over there Uh I’m going to bring my camera of course and uh you will see a lot more videos with this bike I’m going to have it for a while well 
actually I I don’t really want to give it back Uh so uh make sure you’re subscribed and I’ll see you at the ABR and uh in the next videos Almost forgot end ride end ride now Well that’s quite a bit of road we did 1065 km 17 hours 18 minutes that but that’s just riding so I was longer I think with charging it would have been like maybe I would say like 20 hours Yeah 20 hours for 1,000 kilometers I wonder how many people did that 
before on an electric bike hm

This is my new Bike guys! I left Asia for now and came to europe to pick it up and ride it 1000km in 24h to 🇬🇧 See you at the ABR Festival and i will be staying around to explore the beautiful country and Ireland! Stay tuned🤙🏼
