I have a Polytron Fox R electric Motorbike and gave him a roof of 400 Watt semi flexible Solar panels. With this I want to go around the world for more 2 years. I want to start in Oktober 2026.
Revised Driven Kilometers (Approximate)
These are driving-only distances (excluding sea shipments/ferries). Real-world routes may add 5-15% due to detours, borders, or road conditions.
- Indonesia: Lake Toba to Dili, Timor Leste (~3,200–3,700 km) South through Sumatra (~1,500–1,700 km to ferry), across Java (~800–900 km), Bali/Lombok/Sumbawa/Flores (~800 km total), West Timor to Dili (~300–400 km). Mountainous and ferry hops.
- Australia: Darwin to Brisbane to Melbourne (~3,700–3,800 km) Darwin south to Alice Springs to Brisbane (~2,700 km), then Brisbane to Melbourne (~1,000–1,100 km). Mostly highways.
- New Zealand: Full loop North + South Islands (~3,000–3,500 km) Comprehensive circuit (e.g., Auckland north to Cape Reinga, south to Wellington, ferry to Picton, around South Island via Queenstown/Christchurch, back). Winding but scenic.
- Americas: Santiago/Valparaíso (Chile) north to Anchorage (Alaska) (~17,000–19,000 km) North via Pan-American Highway: Chile → Peru → Ecuador → Colombia (ship across Darién Gap ~160 km, not driven) → Panama → Central America → Mexico → USA (Interstates north) → Canada → Alaska Highway. This is the core south-to-north leg—vast and varied.
- Russia + Europe: Vladivostok area to Madrid/Spain (~10,000–11,000 km) West on Trans-Siberian Highway (~9,000–9,500 km Vladivostok to Moscow), then Europe (~1,500–2,000 km Moscow via Poland/Germany/France to Spain). Long, straight highways in Russia.
- Africa: Spain to Cape Town (South Africa) (~11,000–12,000 km) Ferry Spain to Morocco (~short), then south: Morocco → Western Sahara → Mauritania → Senegal → coastal West Africa → Angola/Namibia → South Africa. Rough in places.
Grand Total Driven Distance: ~48,000–53,000 km (similar to before, but adjusted for directions and refinements).
Time Estimate with Solar-Only Power (100 km/day average)
At a realistic 100 km per driving day, assuming you drive most days but factor in rest, bad weather (less solar), maintenance, borders, sightseeing, and recharge-only days:
- Pure driving days needed: ~480–530 days (just for distance).
- Add ~30–50% extra time for non-driving days (recharge in clouds/rain, borders, rest, vehicle checks, visa waits, shipping prep): Easily 700–900+ days total on the road.
- Full trip duration: 2–3 years (or more), depending on how strictly you stick to solar and how much you pause/explore.
This is conservative but realistic—solar vehicles in records (e.g., world tours) often averaged 150–200 km/day in ideal sunny conditions with optimized lightweight designs, but your Polytron Fox R is a standard small car with added panels, so 100 km/day is a safe, sustainable target to avoid battery drain or forced stops. In equatorial/tropical zones (Indonesia, Africa, parts of Americas), you’ll get better daily yield; in higher latitudes or rainy seasons, it could drop.
