    200W solar panel, 48V 20 aH battery. Range is 25 miles on battery with no pedaling, estimated additional 20 miles per day of full sunlight with solar panel, pedaling will increase range. In full sun, the panel charges at about the same rate as the plug in charger, 3 amps.

      In full sun

      The asterisk. Here in northern Europe, sometimes weeks pass without even 10 minutes of that. But in the Sahara this would be great - it even provides shade!

      That seems rather large for only 200 Watts maybe the picture is giving me a poor sense of scale but that looks like it’s a similar size to my 480 watt panels what are the dimensions here?

          Ah flex panel that makes sense. Full panels are much heavier so probably less attractive to mount like that in general
