Having expensive, fragile silicon PV cells out front serving as your bumper isn't the brightest idea going. If I ever do mount a solar panel on my ebike, I'd only use a panel comprised of flexible amorphous cells that can withstand the inevitable collision.
ReplyDeleteVery good point.
ReplyDeleteAnd with the flexible one, I think there will be some weight savings and it can be shaped into a curved shape.
Im related to Larry Delfosse, and Ive rode a couple of his trikes. There

Wao $3000 dollars is too much money for that I couldn't give this among of money I would prefer to buy a nice car instead of that.
ReplyDeleteThank you for introducing me the wonderful information.And .....Totally boring.!
ReplyDeleteWhile solar technology looks promising, sometime it doesn’t quite seem ready to power our vehicles. This solar trike looks pretty good to me. And it would be great if the maker could tweak a little on the outlook design and price as well.
