No pedals and not a motorcycle, maybe it is a scooter or pocket bike. On sunny days I can charge using solar pannels and sunshine.

Thekpv gained momentum in the summer of 2008 by Terry Hope. After approximately a thousand hours of e-bike research and development his DIY micro mobility electric vehicle concept materialized with four goals:

Engineer a electrical circuit with an mechanical system to capture, store and harvest electrical power.

Use alternative energy for a prototype electro-solar hybrid.

Eliminate extra greenhouse gas emissions and lower the carbon footprint by recharging the battery pack off-the-grid.

Construct a vehicle with a solar pannels & small enough foot print to be stowed away inside a Samsonite suitcase for easy transport.
