Tired of pedaling? Put some sunshine in your bike!

Use the sun to power the electric motor of a bicycle can be an economical and ecological solution to solve our needs for sustainable mobility with zero emissions.

I collected the testimonies of some web solar vehicles:
The Dini Motive Team has made a push cart that can be recharged with solar panels called "Pig". Connected to any type of bicycle, also allows the transport of various materials up to a maximum of 30 kg, in addition to providing an extra push which allows to double the speed reached by the mere force of pedaling. The "pig" is controlled with a sensor based on the technology of the load cells, which allows the determination of the energy of the electric motor on the basis according to the force exerted on the pedals.
Its average life is about 100 km, with a few cents of expense, can be recharged in about 2 hours connection to the normal power supply.

Balloons inflated to produce solar energy

This new technology is developed by Cool Earth and promises to cut solar energy costs by 90% by 2010.

They are made of balloons made in the upper half of a transparent film while in the lower part by a reflective. Once inflated the balloons make a dish that focuses the sun's rays onto a solar cell with high efficiency, energy thus collected allows the PV cell produces 400 times more energy than if it were exposed to direct sunlight without the concentrator.

The transparent film protects the PV cell and the reflecting surface from weather such as rain, wind, dirt, insects and the structure can withstand high winds.
