Follow Julien on his adventure!

Our colleague Julien TOURSCHER and his friends start today one of the craziest riding challenges called “ON THE MOB AGAIN” that we never heard: Riding 1 094 kilometers including 38200m D+ across France, Switzerland, Italy in 8 days with… a MOPED!

The group of 6 riders will ride and camping out from 21 to 29th July, carrying all their materials (tent, sleeping bag…) on the mopped as no assistance will be possible during the road trip. Our teammate Julien worked hard on the mechanical preparation of six mopeds. He picked Tomos models from Slovenia, that could withstand this long journey: “We had to find robust mopeds with straps to prevent the engines from breaking – it’s safer and performs better. We also took lot of time to check each moped and all are powered by BS Battery BTX4L SLA.” said Julien.

Want to know more about this crazy adventure? Read Julien’s interview below:

• At BS BATTERY, we know that your mind comes up with ideas all the time! What’s the concept of this new project “ON THE MOB AGAIN”?Back to basics, to find fun there is no need to spend crazy budget but just be well accompanied and organized!
• Who are going with you? My brother and his son & 3 cousins : Gilles + Noah, Régis, Vincent, Fabien!
• How the idea came up?During the last Christmas diner, we were remembering lots of stories from childhood, “the good old time” as we use to say in France. We were sharing all our crazy moments on a moped as teenagers, how we get out from ticky situations without gps or phone to help us! And we thought we were still crazy enough to take on new challenges!
• What’s the models of your mob?We picked TOMOS models , a Slovenian brand because it doesn’t have a transmission belt. Our BS BATTERY Serbian distributor “MOTOBIKE” based in Belgrade have a strong expertise and confirmed me that TOMOS mopeds were extremely reliable for such adventure!
• What kind of materials are you taking with you? 4 of the 6 mopeds are equipped with BTX4 SLA and of course we will need the Power box PB-02, power bank in order to recharge our phones and stay safe with lights
• How is your mindset before the big departure? This adventure is really based on sharing and transmission. My brother’s son has just turned 15 and this will be his first “roots” trip across several countries on a bike and with his family!
