Guy Builds Electric Bike, Saves Energy


Richard Gryzch got really tired of going to the gas station to fill his bike every time. In fact he started hating it so much that he decided to mod a bike himself to run on solar and electric power. He also was not convinced of the idea about going to get a cool electric bike already available in the market.

His modded bike comes covered in solar panel and can reach a speed of about 90 miles per hour. It also has a range of 50 miles which he plans to increase to 300 miles. It is not clear of the bike is 100 percent solar but it certainly is a great a bike and looking at the way it works, we can say that it is really green and eco friendly.

I guess it is always nice to mod our own bikes instead of spending a lot of money on them, and buying something off the showroom. There is no information about either the price or availability.
