SunRed designs solar bike

Say goodbye to gas stations if this solar-powered motorbike from SunRed ever makes it to the manufacturing line. It will soon be available as a prototype though, so realizing it probably won't be too far off. SunRed took the clamshell structure route, optimizing the solar panels' surface without making the motorbike look bulky. Whenever the bike remains stationary, the solar panels will surface, storing enough energy for another 20km at 30 mph. While those speeds certainly won't crack speed records anytime soon, at least you won't be contributing to the greenhouse effect. I'm certainly in favor of such vehicles to grace our roads in the near future.
