A two-wheeled very different from the experimental means products so far with clumsy panels hairpieces which is supported on the carrier or on a cart: the film that captures solar energy is colored entirely similar to that of the frame and is in practice invisible. Certainly, though, will need to travel a lot to recover, the savings resulting from solar energy, if only part of the cost to acquire.

The bike with the panels solariPrevNext "To use a daily average of 15 km this bike is completely self-sufficient - the inventor explains Armin Oberhollenzer - that is, independent of traditional energy sources. The user does not have to do anything to activate the solar charging: on a display you can read the energy generated and the battery status and if at times the solar energy should not be sufficient you can easily switch to charging sources traditional energy that allow a total range of ninety miles, ".
Push button control
