Naveen Rabelli and his solar-powered tuk-tuk at Dover Docks. |
Naveen Rabelli, 35, who set off from India in February,
reached Dover five days later than expected because of the theft of his
passport and wallet in France.
After obtaining an emergency passport and crossing the
Channel from Calais, Rabelli said of his epic journey: “It was fantastic up
until I got to Paris where from there I got some things stolen and two battery
packs died.
“The highlights have been the way people have helped me out
along the way and supported me. People love the tuk-tuk, particularly in Iran
and many other countries. They come forward and take selfies. And the moment I
tell them it doesn’t require petrol, their minds are blown.”
