Hello everyone [(Den deutschen Text gibt’s hier.)](https://www.elektroroller-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=193&t=45812) After almost two years with my electric bike, it was time for the ultimate benchmark against my gasoline one. Since our petrol group rode the _Route des Grandes Alpes_ ([link](https://www.moppedhotel.de/routedesgrandesalpes/)) in early September last year and went to Tuscany this June, it only made sense to combine both and do the whole thing electrically this time. So: from home to Lake Geneva, along the RdGA to Menton, then the Via Aurelia along the Riviera into the Garfagnana/Tuscany region, and from there back through South Tyrol. ChatGPT gave me the following summary: > “Round trip 2025: about 2,500 km, 80,000 meters of elevation gain, 30 Alpine passes up to 2,802 m, with sun, rain, snow, and thunderstorms – from Swabia through Savoy, Piedmont, Tuscany, Graubünden, and South Tyrol back home. > Electric ride with about 150 kWh (100 € worth of electricity), sometimes tight on charge, demanding to ride (ABS/traction control working hard), but full of highlights: Bonette, Iseran, Stelvio, and Riedberg Pass.” As usual, the AI “hallucinated” a bit again — you’ll see where once you’ve read the full report. 😉 I wanted to find out how my - **naked electric bike:** 230 kg, 200 km/h, 40 kW, 190 Nm compares to my - **naked inline-four:** 237 kg, 270 km/h, 120 kW, 120 Nm on this ultimate dream tour. I therefore planned (except for the Via Aurelia) the same daily stages and even booked three of the same hotels as on the petrol trip — and four others at least in the same region. **In 45 years of riding (without a single injury), this was _without question_ the highlight of them all.** **[This is the link to a full description (German Only)](https://www.elektroroller-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=193&t=45812)**. I’m sure you can find a translation tool if you’d like to read it in another language. The **[Kurviger.com plan](https://kurv.gr/uypGP)** is a combination of the previous gasoline trips. I navigated with a TomTom, so the real route ended up a bit different from the plan — mainly around lunch stops. The main downside of [Kurviger.com](http://Kurviger.com) is that you can’t plan routes with charging stops (as of now). **Attached is the list of waypoints:** - **Numbers** mark the mountain passes I rode. - **Lowercase letters** indicate lunch stops — usually with a proper meal and often a short walk through town, including charging the bike. - **Uppercase letters** mark overnight stops with dinner and charging. The daily stages were, just like with the gasoline bike, around **300 km (+/–)** each.

Danke für den Bericht, kurzer Hinweis, du kannst Ladesäulen entlang der Route planen: [Searching Along the Route or in an Area [Kurviger Knowledgebase]](https://docs.kurviger.com/search_along_route) ---

Danke, aber das ist noch nicht ganz was benötigt wird. Schaut euch mal ABRP an. - Filter Steckertyp ist das Minimum, - suche Ladestationen in X-km Fahrdistanz in der Nähe der Route wäre gut (Alternativ ein Fahrdistanzmarker alle 50km an der Route) und - Zusatzfilter interessante POIs im Umfeld der Ladestation (z.B. Restaurants) wäre super.
