Hey Folks,
I am planning to ride my 450 from Bangalore to Kochi on 2 nd week of March (date not fixed, should be between the week).
Itenerary:
Day 1: Bangalore to Mysore. (146km)
Start from JP Nagar to Royal Airavath (hope the charging point is live on early mornings). Then head to Mandya, I hope I can charge at Organic Mandya. Or else I know a pertol bunk where I can charge. If I need help I will post here and try reach out for help. Then to Mysore where I have my friend’s place. Have went and check the connection at his place yesterday.
Day2: Mysore to Sultan Bathery (122km)
I may start after couple of days stay in Mysore. Plan is to charge once in Gundlupete. I don’t have a charging point here. Will be really helpful if someone can offer a point to charge. Then head to Bathery, where I have my friend’s place.
Day3: Bathery to Calicut (94km)
Achievable in a single charge. In Calicut I have my friend’s place. No issues there.
Day4: Calicut to Iringalakuda (138km)
Need a charging point somewhere near Guruvayoor. I will look out for some help there. Iringalakuda I have my friend’s place.
Day5: Iringalakuda to Cochin (56km)
Last day to finish line. I will fly
I have earlier achieved 100+ km range. But as I will be carrying around 15 kg luggage range could go lesser I guess.
Taking a 45ft long extension along with ground wires and tester with me for all the DIY electrical stuff.
For people who want to offer charging help. I will be in full Covid protection mode. Sanitaised charger plug, tent for staying, always mask ON.
Looking forward for the ride. Folks at Kochi, waiting to see you all there. Will post the updates in this thread.
