Solar panels were fitted to the front and back of a new eBike project to charge it while in motion or when it was stationary. The fascinating concept apparently allows the bike to receive six to eight hours of sunlight, which is sufficient for the majority of its battery. According to the Hackaday article, eBikes are becoming more and more common and are even beginning to compete with traditional modes of transportation, particularly for short distances. Many electric bicycles can carry users up to 10 kilometers without any effort. These eBikes enable users to cover these distances for less money than they would have spent on an internal combustion engine. The project was purportedly discovered in an Electrek article that detailed how it was made and what components were utilized. ebike Project Installs Solar Panels To Allow Riders To Charge While Riding

According to reports, the project's ability to let people charge the bike even as they were riding it was its most astounding feature. The solar panels enable the eBike to recharge while still running on energy. The project is unique because many eBikes do not allow charging while the user is using the bike. In order to potentially increase the range of the electronic bike, the project enables customers to charge it while riding. The bike's cargo areas have two 50W panels attached to them. Two distinct 50W panels are supposedly mounted on the bike's two different cargo compartments. Both the front and the back of the eBike itself have these load spaces. According to reports, a 400 W MPPT charge controller is connected to the panels. The Lectric XP 2.0 eBike, the exact eBike used in this experiment, has a motor with a peak output of 850 W.
