Travelling 100% sustainable

Posted by Guim - 1 year 36 weeks ago

Since I thought up the Electric Bicycle World Tour I was activelly looking to recharge bicycle batteries with a solar panel. I'm using 3x20W panels (120AUS$ each in a Jaycar shop) in series plus a Morningstar TS-45 TriStar 45 Charger Controller (215AUS$). So for a total of 575 AUS$ you can set up an ulimited source of energy for your bike and become 100% sustainable. Anybody now can do it, the technology is just there. You can ask Maurice for more info. Do not miss the following video!
