Pretty cool but solar powered? With one little 60 watt solar panel? I wonder how long it would take to charge the batteries with the sunSmiling

It's a tricycle intended to be pedaled with an electric assist so I would assume the power consumption needed is much less than if it was just electric.

I think it said it's the equivalent of 1800 mpg with a 170lb person. That's what sticks in my head, but I don't feel like checking.

If you go to far to the west, you could have problems too.

Solar is not as good up in Oregon, as it would be in Southern California.
What we need is a windmill car.
