I&amp;#x27;m not an EV hater, just pointing out here that even lithium-ion batteries are in the range of 100-265 Wh per kg while gasoline is around 12,200 Wh&amp;#x2F;kg (roughly 50x the energy density). This is a big part of why there are no commercially-viable EV aircraft, and probably won&amp;#x27;t be for some time -- namely until battery energy density improves by an order of magnitude or so.&lt;p&gt;As for this mini motorcycle, it&amp;#x27;s impressive that it still looks pretty decent and someone unfamiliar with this model might even mistake it for stock. I never quite understood why it&amp;#x27;s so hard to find even aftermarket tanks for bikes that get the range up to car range...I just want to go 500 miles on my bike without refueling. Put the gas in the frame AND into a 5+ gallon tank up top. Put gas into a portion of the seat. Put it up behind the headlight or in a big fender. Carrying jerry cans or even the bag style ones is just so bulky and inconvenient  for overlanding on two wheels without a support vehicle carrying extra fuel.</text></comment>

We did only a slightly longer trip, from Helsinki to Gibraltar back in the 00s:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;web.archive.org&amp;#x2F;web&amp;#x2F;20110310093031&amp;#x2F;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.deathmonkey.org&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;web.archive.org&amp;#x2F;web&amp;#x2F;20110310093031&amp;#x2F;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.deathmo...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
