| The STORM Wave - this electric motorcycle will tour the 80 days. |
Storm Eindhoven consists of a team of twenty three students
from the Eindhoven University of Technology, famed for developing the world’s
first electric touring motorcycle.
The STORM World Tour will begin on August 14, 2016 and is
set to cover around 26 thousand kilometres through Europe, Asia and North
America, before finishing back in Eindhoven in the Netherlands.
The trip will be undertaken by two of the researchers behind
the project, who hope to complete the tour in just 80 days.

story - “Electric motorcycle to depart on world tour.”
(Development of such
important technology is admirable, but it is still marooned in the lagoon of private
ownership, which is the antithesis of a journey that ends our dependence of
fossil fuels and other resources we extract from the earth. The innovation and
thought that has gone into the STORM Wave warrants praise, but would be more
value to humanity if it had gone into creating some sort of public transport
system – Robert McLean.)
