About this project
Jack Butler is from the UK and now lives in Germany. At 24 he was one of the adventurers of the Sun Trip 2018 from France to Canton, China.
He planned to ride again in 2020, but the edition was postponed. In 2024 he joined The Sun Trip – Destination Sahara, the first “vertical” Sun Trip heading from north to south. “I’m excited to join the big adventure to the desert (and back)!” His battery comes from EM3EV.
