The previous Guinness Book record for this category was only 320km.
Covering a distance of 673km from Vientiane to Pakxe in Champassak province without recharging, the Nagawatt project has achieved by far the greatest distance ever covered with a bike on a single charge.The pilot team and officials from the Department of Metrology and Standardisation left Vientiane on Feb 20 at 4.20am and reached Pakxe at 9.10pm.
The Nagawatt project was started by Jean-François Reumaux and Nathanael Maury in Laos to design and develop powerful, rugged, long-lasting battery packs, using only the best of today’s technology for mobility applications. With this amazing range, the project has demonstrated that the technology is really trustworthy. Before attempting this world record, the Nagawatt battery packs were tested in all-weather conditions over a distance of 10,000km. This battery pack is designed to achieve 500,000km.
"Last but not least, our witness pick-up trucks each used 1 million kip for fuel while the electric dirt bike, which was charged before departure, used only 10,000 kips worth of electricity!” said the director of the Nagawatt project, Jef Reumaux.
