Nina Tin-Rasmussen and Hjalte Tin jumping of happiness on their tour "First car with electric power Around-The-World". Foto and (C) Hjalte and Nina www.moto-mundo.com



le > re: Nina Tin-Rasmussen. Hjalte Tin. Bernd Tesch. Patrcia Govers-Tesch on their visit in 13.05.2010 - Nina and Hjalte in 2010. Fotos B.T.


25.06.2010 - 07.05.2011 First Around the World with electric car 30.000 kms.
Hjalte Tin (Danish, born 08.09.1953) and Nina Tin-Rasmussen (Danish, born 06.08.1942) http://www.ninaoghjalte.dk + www.moto-mundo.com
+ Around-The-World by electric car. Nina and Hjalte drove in three continents through 14 differnet countries 30.000 kms with an elchtric-car.
Purpose of your tour: ..to test if it was possible to go around the world in a 100% full-size electric car.
Route:  Europe (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Estonia) - Asia (Russia (Burjatia), Mongolia (Gobi), China (Erenhot to Shanghai), by container ship to North-America (USA (San Francisco - New York)) - by container ship to Europe (Spain, France, Monaco, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Austria, Netherlands, Poland,  Germany, Denmark).
They started with two Nissan Qashqai Electric (Nissan Qashqai converted to 100 electric drive by Danish company Afuture), one driven by Nina, one driven by Hjalte. Technical problems with charging system forced one car to be sent back to Denmark from Moscow. Nina and Hjalte did the rest of the circumnavigation in the other "Green car".
Highlights:  Joining president Medvediv's summer camp for young inventors outside Moscow. Exhibiting the car at the Shanghai-EXPO and at the Detroit Auto Show. Competing in the Monte Carlo Rally for electric cars (finishing 8 out of 13).
Daugther Ida Tin and grandson Elliot Tin joined us in the car in USA from San Francisco to Dallas.
The best: To complete the circumnavigation. To cross the Gobi desert.
The worst: Weeks of heat-wave in Russia + 40 degrees made charging the car almost impossible. Minus 20 in USA - and no heating to get max. milage to drive from the battery - Brrrr! The World Electric Tour have encountered extreme conditions from endless Siberian highways, Gobi-desert heat, wild traffic in China and freezing US winter.

Book or publication :... we are writing a book, expect to be published in 2012. We are producing a TV-program.

26.05.2011 In Aachen Bernd Tesch organised that the EIFELER NACHRICHTEN and AACHENER Zeitung (same owner) interviewed Nina and Hjalte on a party of Bernd Tesch. Out of it came 1 total page: Einmal rund um die Welt und ständig unter Strom.
Nicht erschiener Leserbrief von Bernd Tesch für die Aachener Nachrichten und Eifeler Nachrichten (26.06.2011):
Der Artikel über die erste Weltumrundung eines Elektro-Autos ist recht nett zur Unterhaltung geschrieben. Aber auf die eigentlichen Probleme wurde nicht hingewiesen. Dieses E-Auto hört man ab 3 m nicht mehr und es produziert null Abgase. In Athen, Istanbul, Rom, London und auch in deutschen Städten ersticken die Menschen fast vor Smog. Der Auto-Lärm Tag und Nacht macht das Leben dort unerträglich. Smog- und lärmfreie Städte der Zukunft werden ein ganz anders dimensioniertes Leben ermöglichen !  Der baldige Umstieg auf E-Autos würde auch eine gewaltige Energie-Einsparung bringen. Zwar können diese Autos ganz normal beschleunigen und max 130 km/Std. erreichen. Als energiesparende Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit hat Hjalte 80 km / h gewählt. Die Todes- und Unfallopfer im Verkehr durch Rasen würden drastisch reduziert.
In 2006 besuchten uns in Hammer die Japaner Hiroko und Kanichi Fujiwara auf der ersten Weltumrundung mit einem Elektro-Moped (5 Jahre). Die Dänen Hjalte und Nina Tin waren im April 2011 unsere Gäste auf ihrer Weltumrundung (1 Jahr). In 2013 soll die erste Weltumrundung non-stop per Flugzeuges mit nur Solar-Zellen erfolgen: Über Hammer in der Eifel…
Earlier motorcycle-travel-experiences:.... First time in an electric car. 1999 in an old Citroen 2CV crossing the Himalaya to Ladakh and touring all Pakistan, including the wild Shandur pass from Chitral to Gilgit (300 km in 1st gear). In 2003 again in 2CV from Denmark to Bagdad/Iraq, Turkey, Syria 2 weeks after the fall of Saddam Hussein.
22.04.2011 Hjalte and Nina visited us again. We gave an open fire-party for them. First open fire on the tour for them !
Acknowlegement from Bernd Tesch:
1. Nina and Hjalte are the most famous and wellknown family worldwide having done a lot of motorcycle tours with the kids on the bike. They wrote several books which were published in Danish and later in German. Unfortunately they did not manage that the books were published in English. All 17 editions of their books you find listed under www.tukutuku.de
2. Bernd Tesch visited Nina and HJalte in 1991 visiting most famous motorycyle travellers like Palle Huld and Björn Jörgensen (see there books under www.tukutuku.de) and Chrestine Hermansen (born Kohls) and Ove Jensen (Danish): 1980-1981 Around-The-World bwith a BMW. http://www.berndtesch.de/English/Continents/WorldAround/WorldAroundMotorcycle1971-1980.html
In this time Nina and Hjalte build their own houses which I called "Mongolian Palace". We visited each other several times each other. When they were here they called our house "our German home".
3. To drive an electric car with the technical standard today Around-The-World is not a luxurius tour.
Normaly they can drive ca. 200 km with one battery. If they have high voltage (380 V) and charge the battery two times a day they can drive 300 kms per day. Then they have to stop for a few hours to charge the battery. Depending if this is 110 voltage (in USA) or 220 V (Europe) or even 380 V in workshops it takes different hours. The more voltage you have the quicker the batteries are charged. You need different adapters (how many ??) to circle a world. Because all people in the countries and continents felt that Nina and Hjalte are doing a special thing they NEVER had to pay for charging the batteries on the whole trip !! This - of course - they did NOT know before. Of course the have the world.record: "Without paying for energy Around-The-Wolrd".
Because they had to save the energy of the batteries for driving they had no energy for "Air-Condition" to heat the car when it was -20°C or to cool down the car when it was plus 40°C outside.
So: to develope much better batteries wil be the challenge of the future !!
The end of Energy: A nice story happened when they reached us in Hammer - by feet... Driving on 22.04.2011 to Patricia and Bernd Tesch in Hammer the energy of the car-batteries came to a final end. 350 meters before reaching Patricia and Bernd the car stopped on the street "Am Hammerwerk". Just in front of a man Marco Gillessen who was working in his garden: "Can I help you ? You must be the Danish Around-The-World-Travellers who will be on the open-fire-party tonight!". Marco offered them kindly enough energy with a cabel !! This was the other world-record they made: "The only one situation on the whole trip RTW without energy".
13.02.2013 I found this articel: A "Kabinenroller" circled the world in an 80 days race with 30.000 kms 16 countries: .

Tobias Wülser und Frank Loacker. Race: In 80 Tagen mit einem Elektrofahrzeug 30.000 Kilometern ohne CO2-Emissionen um die Welt: Das Schweizer Oerlikon Solar Racing-Team konnte mit dem E-Mobil Zerotracer das Zero Emission Race für sich entscheiden. Vier Elektromobile starten, drei kamen nach einem Rennen um den Globus an. Berliner Vectrix Team. Das südkoreanisches Elektroauto Power plaza EV schied unterwegs aus.
Route: CH (Genf) - Europa, Russland, Kasachstan, China, Kanada, USA, Mexiko und Marokko
Elektrofahrzeug. s, das seine Teilnehmer durch 16 Länder führte, auf dem Place des Nations ins Ziel. Noch nie zuvor ist es glungen, mit einem Elektrofahrzeug eine so große Distanz innerhalb von 80 Tagen zurückzulegen.
The Worst: Frost. Schnee. Regen. Hitze. Schotterpisten. Schlechte Straßen mit großen Schlaglöchern.
Das Kabinenmotorrad basiert auf einem Kevlar-Monocoque, wie es auch in der Formel 1 verwendet wird. Aufgrund seiner hohen aerodynamischen Effizienz (Cw-Wert 0,18) und dem leistungsstarken Elektroantrieb kann es der Zerotracer in puncto Beschleunigung mit nahezu jedem Sportwagen der Welt aufnehmen. Die Hochleistungsbatterie ermöglicht dem Elektrofahrzeug eine Reichweite von bis zu 350 Kilometern. Dank Schnellladetechnik ist die Batterie innerhalb von 30 Minuten zu 80 Prozent geladen. Für eine vollständige Ladung benötigt der Zerotracer unter zwei Stunden. Durch das Rennen konnte demonstriert werden, dass in der Entwicklung von Fahrzeugen, die durch erneuerbare Energien angetrieben werden, stetig Fortschritte gemacht werden.

Useful information and TIPS for others: To be brave only for to take decision to start to make what they really feel. Later everything will go on.
Earlier Experiences of big Motorcycle-Tours: We do not have much ideas about bikes. It is true that we already did some trips in India. Morocco, and from Spain (Sevilla) to Macedonia (Skopje). But the real passion that move us is this trip.
We started travelling some years ago. Basicly our routine is to work in summer time on a greek island, selling the handicrafts we made ourselves to tourists. We like to show the people we left behind in our western socities how it is possible to live another way of life. And we want to show that the situation is not that bad. Also to present how this world is full of nice people and landscapes. So two years ago we decided the perfect way to travel is to ride RTW by motorbike, because this way we can get closer to that reality.

Li: Theo Kelz. Re: Franz Stelzl 2012 mit Plan der gemeinsamen Weltumrundung (C)..

30.03.2014 - 26.10.2014
Franz Stelzl (Austrian, 26.2.1962) and Theo Kelz (Austrian, 18.12.1953) www.helpinghands-2014.org
- Around-The-World. Franz (BMR R 100 GS PD) and Theo (BMW R 100 GS PD) plan to circle the world in 7 months: 6 continents. 46 countries. 67.000 km.
Purpose: The reason is to make governments worldwide aware of the food crisis.
Helping Hands – Giving Life: 1 billion people go hungry worldwide / Every day 24.000 people die of hunger / Every 6 seconds a child dies of hunger. Kelz and Stelzl want people from around the world to sign the petition of the UN’s world nutrition organization, FAO, to reduce chronic hunger.The two activists are aware that 24,000 people die daily from hunger. They are trying to reduce that number by calling out to the world population to sign the FAO petition during their around the world motor cycle trip.  Monetary donations are not the focus of their trip. Instead, Kelz and Stelzl want governments to make the hunger crisis a permanent and top priority within their budget plans.
Planned route: Vertical around the World – 2014.
Austria –Hungary – Romania – Bulgaria – Turkey – Syria – Lebanon – Jordania – Israel – Egypt – Sudan – Ethiopia – Kenya – Uganda – Ruanda – Tanzania – Malawi – Zambia – Botswana – Namibia – South Africa – Argentina – Chile – Peru – Ecuador – Columbia – Panama – Costa Rica – Nicaragua – Honduras – Guatemala – Mexico – United States of America – Canada – Alaska (USA) – Australia – Thailand – Laos – China – Mongolia – Russia – Norway – Sweden – Denmark – Germany – Switzerland – Austria
Route: Europe 7.000 kms (Austria – Israel / Russia - Austria) – Africa 16.000 kms (Egypt – South Africa) America 22.000 kms (Argentina – Alaska ) Australia 4.000 kms and Asia 18.000 kms (Thailand – Russia). Or offer names like: Austria –Hungary – Romania – Bulgaria – Turkey – Syria – Lebanon – Jordania – Israel – Egypt – Sudan – Ethiopia – Kenya – Uganda – Ruanda – Tanzania – Malawi – Zambia – Botswana – Namibia – South Africa – Argentina – Chile – Peru – Ecuador – Columbia – Panama – Costa Rica – Nicaragua – Honduras – Guatemala – Mexico – United States of America – Canada – Alaska (USA) – Australia – Thailand – Laos – China – Mongolia – Russia – Norway – Sweden – Denmark – Germany – Switzerland – Austria
Highlights: The activists Theo Kelz und Franz Stelzl know that worldwide 24.000 people per day die of hunger. They will attempt to reduce that number through their trip around the globe by motor cycle.
The worst: There are one billion humans on this planet that suffer from hunger.  
Book or publication (about your tour): Yes, in 2015
My useful information and TIPS for others: after 2014
Earlier experinences: Brotherhood and peace in the world! Theo Kelz has circled the globe with his motor cycle since 2006. He is mediator and conflict manager, and most of all a police man. In 1994, he lost both his lower arms in a work accident involving a bomb while on duty as an explosives expert. His dream of two new hands came true in March of 2000 when he received a double hand transplant in a spectacular operation at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. Currently, this operation remains the most successful double hand transplant worldwide.
Franz Stelzl accomplished his first trip around the globe by motor cycle in 2003. His travel book and journal accompanied Theo Kelz on his world trip in 2006. Since then Kelz and Stelzl have become close friends. Franz Stelzl grew up in Styria and has lived in Vorarlberg for 32 years. He originally apprenticed to become a mechanic, and then worked his way up from sales manager to academic coach and organizational consultant. He also has a Master of Science degree. He is known to be a visionary. In his work. Stelzl always remembers that human beings are at the centre of learning and personal growth.
25.01.2013 First information by Franz.
30.01.2013 1st information for summary.
30.01.2013 B.T. phoned with Ftanz Stelzl: 250 km avarage on each day and 1 day free is the maximum on such a route. It is even too quick all over the distance and the long time of 7 months. Like this it becomes more a race than a travel. And too much dangerous. There is a need to have PLAN B to shorten the trip. And and plan C if they will travel each alone RTW.
B.T. The plan is to ride 400 km each day and to rest one day each week. Out of my long experience this is not normal and not possible. Even if it would be 250 km each day (normal and recommendable distance) it would be hard to succeed over such a long period as 7 months.

11.03.2013 So nebenbei teilte mir Gerd wieder mit, dass er z.Zt. in Afrika ist, aber zum 55. TTT 03.-05.05.2012 kommen wird. Habe ihn erstmalig um seinen Übersichtsblock gebeten.

Special thoughts of Bernd Tesch:

During YOU Motorcycle-Traveller live:

The highest law of our universe is that it moves continually because of the opposite potentials of plus (+) and minus (-) powers. This means for our beloved world that even what you see on earth changes all the time. Even big mountains change by erosion through heat and cold, rain and ice and sand. Imagine what frozen ice can destroy! So you can never travel to the same place like it was before. Even if you do not notice the change it has changed. So it is not only worth to travel to new places but see old places again !

After YOU Motorcycle-Traveller die:
01.08.2000 After I updated this homepage several times with some hundred hours of work Patricia and I took some hours off. We wanted to relax in the nearby forest EIFEL conquering a water canal maximum 3 meters wide in the end coming out of the ground about ca. 9 kms somewhere up the hills. We both liked the nature very much with all the greens, sunshine and shade. During this walk we loved to discover a group of some hundred years old beech-trees (Buchen).
Then Patricia said: "In my next life I would like to be a beech-tree". This caused some thoughts in me: After we die 90 % water of our body will first go in the ground. It could be that a part of this water will help to create another plant or even a tree. So you mc-traveller could be a part of a beech-tree. Some of this water will evaporate in the air. Then the wind will blow your water somewhere and it will come down on earth or in the sea again. If the water comes down on earth a plant could grow with your water. A Motorcycle-Traveller could eat this plant. Then you are a part of a mc-traveller again. Or your rain could fall in a small river and another mc-traveller drinks clear water out of this river. Then you are a part of a mc-traveller again.

The very rest of your 10 % material could be eaten by bacteries. Bigger animals could eat these. Possibly this animal could be eaten by another animal and this by a mc-traveller. Then you are a part of a mc-traveller again. Possibly this mc-traveller will read this homepage. Then your soul is connected with your material again. This are some possible ways that YOU Mc-Traveller never die and will live for long times as a Motorcycle-TRAVELLER.

5 billion (Milliarden) years later ALL Motorcycle-Travellers will die:
Sun will kill all Motorcycle-Travellers. The sun will have extended so much in size because the indifference between gravity and escaping energy that she reaches the earth. All the heat will destroy all life on earth including ALL MOTORCYCE-TRAVELLERS. That´s it !
I hope you liked reeding this. I am just waiting for YOUR email helping me to update A LIFELONG job with passion.

Compliments: I even did not thing to publish this. But some nice compliments came in ! Why should I not offer them to you ?

21.02.2008 2nd request to the editor

2012 From Internet: Brazilian student on round-the-world mission
10 November 2003 Media release
ROUND THE WORLD MOTORCYCLIST STOPS IN NZ.
Brazilian round-the-world motorcyclist Raphael Karran is taking time out in New Zealand to improve his English language skills for two months in Hamilton.
At an education fair in Brazil, Raphael heard about the courses run by the Language Institute at Waikato University and applied for a scholarship to coincide with his time in Australasia. The Institute granted him one and is planning to use Raphael’s story to help with promotion in Brazil.
Raphael, who is reporting for a Brazilian motorcycle magazine called Motociclismo Magazine, has already traveled 90,000 km through South and North America, Europe, Asia and part of Australia. He will return to Perth in December to continue his mission to Sydney, then finally to Africa.
He hasn’t been able to bring his bike with him to New Zealand because his visit here is only eight weeks and he would have had to disassemble his bike, have it quarantined, obtain registration and warrant certificates etc. This would have left him very little time to utilise it. His main purpose for visiting New Zealand is to improve his English and experience a bit of Kiwi culture.
Raphael dreamed of making the round-the-world trip since he was very young, and finally decided to do the trip while sitting in a traffic jam in Sao Paulo.
25.10.2012 Asked Emilio Scotto if he knows how to contact him.

- Plan Around-The-World. We are planning to go around the world, probably breaking the record of the longest motorcycle ride ever done by a couple (around 100,000 miles / 160.000 km).We are riding together, each with a BMW F650GS/Dakar mounted with Touratech 39L tanks. We trained 8 weeks in Spain and Morocco.
Purpose of travel: Fun. Meeting the best girls / boys . Learn from people and share with others.
Route so far has been: Europe (France) by boat to Africa (Tunisia, Algeria, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya (22,08.2003). The planned route from Kenya is: down Africa to Capetown, ship to Rio, down to Ushuaia, up to San Francisco, ship to Sydney, go all over the place in Australia, ship to Indonesia, drive all over the place in Thailand, Cambodge, Laos and Vietnam, ship to Nepal, drive all over India, then back to Europe for a big tour of the continent.
The best so far: ??
The worst so far : ??
Book or publication: Probably write a book at the end.
08.03.2002 From Pierre Saslawsky: Hello Bernd, I found your page about women travellers a little bit by chance (http://www.berndtesch.de/English/Continents/Women.html) It's interesting because earlier this month, I asked two related questions on the Horizons Unlimited bulletin board (http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000252.html)
- How many people approximately (and how many women) have completed a round-the-world trip on a motorcycle?
- Do you know if a woman has successfully completed a round-the-world trip that includes crossing all of Africa including the Sahara? (ie. Morocco or Tunisia through South Africa by land). My girlfriend is up for the challenge. Thanks, Pierre

Merv and Ruth Homer started out on a motorcycle adventure, which took them through 32 countries over a period of 2 years. To raise money for the trip they sold their house, in the UK, bought a shaft-drive motorcycle and necessary equipment.
They had planned an overland route from the UK to Malaysia and then from Canada to Chile. These plans soon changed when war and civil unrest broke
out along the way. Undeterred, they went through the Middle East shortly after 9/11.2001 and entered Nepal when it was in a State of Emergency.
Purpose of travel: It was incredibly difficult leaving behind all their friends and family - but it was a journey they needed to do as they struggled to come to terms with the loss of their youngest daughter.
Route: The epic 43,000-mile journey took them through France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, India, Nepal, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Canada, USA, Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Spain, Andorra and Germany.
Highlights: A motorcycle was the perfect vehicle for the adventure. Allowing them to travel where they wanted, when they wanted. From the remote rain forest regions to the centre of the Atacama desert - where it hardly ever rains - the driest desert on earth."

- Plan Around-The-World. Martin wants a Motorcyle Adventure and Documentary. He wants a motorcycle adventure for the benefit of underprivileged children. In conjunction with World Vision. I am embarking on Ride4Kids, an around-the-world overland trip on a motorcycle.
The best: The best of the Ride4Kids project include a motorcycle journey around the world including some of the world’s poorest and most rugged countries. Raising money for World Vision while visiting World Vision projects along the way. The filming of two documentaries; the first on the lives of children in Africa, Siberia and South America and the second on the adventures encountered during the trip; and ·the ability of people around the world to follow my journey through the Ride4Kids website. All proceeds raised from the screening of the documentaries will be donated to World Vision.The public is also invited to donate money or sponsor children through the Ride4Kids website.
I’ve embarked on the Ride4Kids project out of a desire to help underprivileged children and raise awareness of their standard of living. I think it will also be a great adventure and a remarkable achievement.
Earlier experiences: 1996 -1997 Australia (Melbourne) to France (Paris) overland, which was also made into a documentary.
Route: Australia (Melbourne - riding to Perth) - and then flying to Africa (South Africa (Cape Town) - Botswana - Zambia - Tanzania - Uganda - Kenya - Ethiopia - Sudan ? . Egypt) - Asia (Jordan - Syria) - Europe (Turkey - Ukraine - ? - Poland - Russia) - Asia (Russia, Siberia - Japan) - North-America (Canada - USA - Mexico - Guatemala - Honduras - Nicaragua - Panama) - South America (Colombia - Ecuador - Peru - Bolivia - Argentina).

Jens Becker (German, 05.03.1967) no website
- Plan Around-The-World. Jens plans to circle solo the world with a BMW F 650 GS Dakar within 1,5 year.
Purpose of my travel: get the head free, reduce stress, look further, get to know other lanscapes and people.
20 years ago in 1989, when I read "Jupiter´s Travels", I planned to start my trip around the World with my bike (today a BMW F 650 GS Dakar) when my children are grown up! This will be in 2017, when my daughters are adult. The last day to leave will be my 50th birthday, in March 2017.
Before, I went to different destinations in Europe: Germany, Alpes (Swiss, Austria, France); Italy (Dolomites); Denmark; Norway (the South); England; France (Provence); Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia); Scandinavia (Sweden, Finland).
Route around the world: Europe (Germany - Swiss - Italy - Greece - Turkey ) - Asia (Iran- Pakistan - India - Thailand- Indonesia) - Australia- North America (USA- Mexico- Guatemala - Honduras - Nicaragua - Costa Rica - Panama)- South America (Colombia - Ecuador - Chile - Argentinia) - Africa (South Africa - Mozambique - Tanzania - Kenia - Ethiopia - Sudan - Egypt) - Europe (Greece - Italy - Austria - home again...).
Highlights on tour: Being on the road in other landscapes! Highlights are to get know other countries, people, other ways of life,....
The worst so far until 2009: A one-week-trouble with my bike in Finland. So I had to rent a CAR to visit Lapland.
My useful information and TIPS for others: Simply go and open your eyes; the smaler your group is (I like do ride alone), the better you get contact to the people.
