Community for those focused on sustainable travel. Our society's current levels of energy intensive and frequent travel are not compatible with life on a finite planet. We advocate for long-term slow travel to see the world, and low energy local travel to deeply experience your community. Green washing free zone.

I have built a few versions of solar ebike, but this one is the most fun thus far. I'm going to be test riding it long distance this weekend. Wish me luck!

Love it! How much range do the panels add?

In a 10 hour day of full sun, they can theoretically charge 1800 watt-hours, but time will tell how realistic that works out. That would fully recharge my two batteries, which combine to give me about 80 miles.

So hopefully at least 40 😂 (though I'm bringing one extra backup battery just in case).
