Solar Chargers
- Thread starter BBB
- Start date
you would want a good solar panel to charge up a couple or few good batteries depending on what you are taking out wired up for 12v then an inverter of the correct rating to plug your charger into it

Guim ebiking in Australia, trailer has solar panel charger
This cyclist is travelling the world on his Wisper. I beleive he's Spanish (named Guim), recently toured SE Asia and has been in NSW, Australia in April 2010. He carries 2 lithium batteries, which he rotates through the solar charger; with a solar panel on top of his trailer. Comment made, 'Sort of a perpetual motion machine'. Possibly more limited potential under UK grey skies. He's done 11,000 km so far, and still going.
Guim's blog. Scroll down a tad to see his bike and trailer.

Quote: with 2 batteries and my chicken legs, I can easily do 300km/day.

100 Sanyo ebikes community share station w/ solar
27 April 2010. 100 Sanyo ebikes community share station w/ solar panel charging
Surprise! UT First To Electrify Bike Sharing in the U.S. : TreeHugger
In Tokyo, Sanyo recently installed 100 of their eneloop battery powered e-bikes at a "community" bike share divided between three Setagaya train stations and powered 100% (battery charging and LED station lighting) with solar photovoltaics.

Go Farther, Faster on Sanyo's Electric Hybrid Bicycle : TreeHugger
Japanese riders are pretty enamored of electric bikes, however, with the market estimated at nearly 300,000 electric bikes last year. Sanyo's new electric-hybrid Eneloop bike has two features going for it: the frame looks pretty good (if a bit girly), and the motor works on the front wheel to give the rider triple the pedal power compared to a non-motorized bike. And the price is right in the middle of the spectrum: 136,000 yen ($1,430 dollars) when it hits Japanese stores next February.

Wholesolar don't stock solar charger now
'Unfortunately we do not ship overseas either. We could put something custom together if you were able to tell me the charging requirements of your bike'.
Alan in Melbourne, Aust here. I emailed this co, and here's their reply: 'This is a hidden page on our website- we currently do not sell it. The items that we used for it are no longer available and we no longer sell ebikes. Thank you for thinking of us, though!'
