Overview
For fans of Free Ride and The Long Way Round, this is one man’s account of how losing the map can help you find your own direction.
What happens when you stop planning and start riding?
When Marcus Engel set off on his motorcycle with no fixed route, no sponsorship, and no idea where he would end up, the result was a journey that was anything but ordinary. From crumbling border crossings in Eastern Europe to quiet mountain roads in Southeast Asia, Electric Ride is a love letter to the art of getting lost – and to the people and places found along the way.
Blending vivid storytelling with hard-earned lessons, Marcus shares what months on the road taught him about freedom, failure, and the unexpected beauty of imperfection. Each chapter is both a story and a takeaway: how to navigate breakdowns, bad weather, and bad decisions – and why those moments often become the best parts of the ride.
Honest and reflective, this is not a handbook for perfect travel. It’s a guide to the real thing: unpredictable, humbling, and utterly alive.
