Two of my favourite things in one - a solar powered cargo bike

“A full day in the sun is enough to fill the battery from zero to full charge. An hour is sufficient for at least 8 km of driving... In our target markets of Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria, the battery can go many months throughout Spring and Summer without recharging from the grid.”

@tamitha Isn't it though. I'm slightly suspicious that 160W of solar will charge the battery fully with that configuration but it's definitely possible!

@milgrim

I've seen another before, but they've always been top up solar/range extender rather than actual charging
