To be totally clear, it's not even the craziest thing this guy experiences all day during his ride through the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.
It's been a minute or two since we last checked in with EV motorbike explorer Marc Travels, who's currently in Morocco with his Energica Experia. And to be fair, while Eve II (which is what he's named this bike, as it's the second EV motorcycle he's owned, following in the footsteps of his Zero SR/F that was the first to be called Eve) has quirks, it's really no more or less quirky than any other bike, in the grand scheme of things. Just different.
But if you've ever wondered to yourself what it would be like to take an EV motorbike across a water crossing, you'll get to see one in this video. Granted, it's not a particularly deep one, and you'll also see other small-displacement combustion bikes going across the same place as well. As Marc takes the time to point out, the electronics on the Experia are up pretty high, and should (should) be weather-sealed. There's a decent amount of ground clearance as well, so even the motor doesn't really get more than a moderate splashing; it's mainly the wheels and tires that get the dust washed away.
The majority of this video, both before and after the water crossing, is spent traversing a variety of different roads and scenery around the Atlas Mountains as he pushes onward to find the hotel where he's booked a room for the night. The roads, mountains, and scenery are quite stunning; honestly, before we get to the point in the video where Marc mentions that it kind of reminds him of Spain, I was kind of thinking that myself. They're absolutely lovely, the roads where he's riding!
Adventure On All Roads and No Roads
There are a few more tourists in one area than he expected, but he eventually finds a really cool little place by the river to stop, park, and eat. The meal that he orders is a tagine set of some kind, and he explains that the average cost for one of these meals (which he's been eating a lot lately, he says) is around 120 Moroccan dirham. At today's conversion rates, that's about US $13, or around 11 Euro, and it looks like a stunningly nice spread for the money.
It might not be the same as basking in the sunshine yourself, but I kind of feel like the purpose of videos like these is to inspire you to get out and find your own sunshine when you can. Good food certainly doesn't hurt, either.
Where are you riding next, and will it involve any water crossings or tasty tagines? Let us know in the comments.
