Tired of pedaling? Put some sunshine in your bike!
Use the sun to power the electric motor of a bicycle can be a solution to resolve economic and ecological needs of our sustainable mobility with zero emissions.

I have collected some examples of the 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, as well as providing an extra boost that you can double the speed reached by the sheer force of pedaling. The "Pig" is controlled by a sensor based on the load cell technology, which allows the determination of the energy of the electric motor based on the strength exerted on the pedals.
Its range is on average about 100 km, and spending a few pennies, can be recharged in about 2 hours for connection to the normal power.
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 in the upper half of the balls made from a transparent film while in the bottom of a reflector. 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 to produce 400 times more energy than if it were exposed to direct sunlight without the concentrator.

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