This episode dives into the world of electric adventure travel with Tom Weiser and Kevin Murphy, co-founders of Nerpa Travel. Their company crafts low-impact, high-adventure trips that swap petrol-powered bangers for electric motorbikes and e‑bikes, combining sustainable transport with genuine cultural immersion.
Tom and Kev share:
- How COVID and COP26 inspired them to launch Nerpa Travel
- The reality of running EV adventures in places like Vietnam, Thailand, and Wales
- Charging challenges, public transport hacks, and “squeaky bum” moments on the road
- Why small group travel and community connections are at the heart of their model
- Plans for upcoming adventures, including potential West Africa expeditions
From mountain passes in rural Vietnam to the slow travel benefits of local buses, this conversation explores how EV travel can be both practical and transformative.
