Electrifying Travel
Charge your engines.
Back in April 2024, Nerpa and our friends at Lost.Travel set about to do something special. Something that had never been done before. The world's first electric motorcycle adventure. A small select group of pioneers answered the call, tearing across the country using only sweet, delicious electricity and determination.
In 2026 we're getting you right back in the saddle, so grab your helmet, plug in, and get ready for an Electric Odyssey
The Trip at a Glance: Get Ready to Go Deep
What you'll be doing:
10 Days / 9 Nights of Electric Motorcycle Exploration. Starting in historic Hoi An and winding your way North into the mountains.
The Ride:
Silent, powerful, zero-emissions electric motorbikes. See the real Vietnam, without the noise. Our local partner designs, sources and build all their bikes right in Vietnam. Expect around 200km of riding on a single charge, bye-bye range anxiety! Although we highly recommend plenty of coffee and pho stops to keep you and your ride juiced up throughout the day
Accommodation:
Handpicked, locally run, and comfy accommodation. You’ve earned a good night's sleep after a full day of riding. We want to give you the freedom to plan your route, do things your way and get to know the real Vietnam. That's why we arrange accommodation for 5 nights of the trip for you.
The Trek: 2 Days and 1 Unforgettable Night
A proper expedition into one of the world's largest caves, complete with an unbelievable night's camping right in the cave. There's even a beach inside that thing!
Đi phượt
"Đi phượt" is a Vietnamese term for adventurous travel, often long-distance, by motorcycle to explore nature and local culture. And that's just what we're doing, but bringing it smack bang into the 21st Century.
What you need
Aside from a true sense of adventure and an open mind, there's a few little things that you need to take part in this experience
125cc Motorbike Licence
In order to take part in this adventure you MUST have a licence to ride a motorcycle or scooter of 125cc or bigger. In the UK that's the equivalent of a CBT or A1/A2 licence. For other nationalities please check with your countries licensing authority. If you're unsure feel free to give us a shout. If you rock up to the start line without it, we won't be letting you ride.
International Driving Permit
In order to ride a motorcycle in Vietnam you MUST have an International Driving Permit (IDP). Specifically you need the 1968 Vienna Convention IPD. Without this you are unable to participate. Getting one is pretty straightforward;
If you live in the UK you can pick up an IDP for a fiver at most post offices.
Hiking Kit
A 2 day hike through the Jungle, up steep hills and in a cave in your flip flops? Behave! We're not saying you need all the bells and whistles, but sensible shoes that you can walk in, and some sporty clothes are a definite must.
