Summary

A motorcycle has achieved an astonishing feat, traversing over 40.74 kilometers of open water to establish a new world record. The successful attempt occurred on the Jinjiang river in China, with Zhang Xue, the visionary behind ZXMOTO, at the helm.
This was not an ordinary motorcycle; it was a specially engineered machine fitted with water skis, an expanded fuel tank, and advanced waterproofing. A unique rear tire design further aided its propulsion through the water, enabling it to break the previous record of 31.8 kilometers.
Zhang Xue's journey to this record was a testament to perseverance. He had undertaken four previous attempts, with his initial efforts in 2009 even resulting in him falling into the water multiple times. His dedicated team spent five months refining and testing the water-riding motorcycle before this successful record-breaking drive was confirmed by Guinness World Records officials.
