This scooter has been modified to run on an electric engine. Solar panels have been integrated to recharge the battery. Great example of green vehicle.
To pull off this feat, he installed two sets of folding panels that generate 120 watts/hour in good sun. The bike’s batteries hold 2400 watts, so a Michigan summer’s 9 hours of daily sun charges the battery about 1/2 full. Don estimates his ride uses only 25% of that. So, even with the occasional cloudy day (unfortunately, not uncommon in Michigan) doesn’t mean the bike is dead. |
