The Japanese company Hama Zero has come up with the Solar Bike Fujin, which is a simple looking electric bike that is equipped with a solar panel placed in a box at the back of the bike to keep it juiced. The bike itself is powered by a lithium-ion battery which allows it to hit a top speed of 72km/h and boast an assisted travel range of 220km on a single charge. If for some reason the sun doesn’t shine in your area too much, you could also charge the battery from a standard home power socket, and a single charge should only set you back $0.02. Check out a video of the Solar Bike Fujin after the jump.
