Eco Factor: Zero-emission bike powered by solar energy.
Built by Giant, this is the “Stilletto” chopper bike, which gets powered by a brushless hub motor fueled by a 36V battery pack. The bike features a modular solar panel array of 36V generating up to 10W of renewable electric power. The bike hits a top speed of 20mph and the solar panel onboard can be removed and the battery can also be charged conventionally on days with no sun.
