About CarQon Solar Bicicleta de Càrrega Elèctrica
CarQon Solar és una bicicleta de càrrega elèctrica alimentada per energia solar. Els panells solars estan situats a la caixa frontal i recarreguen les bateries de la bicicleta. Els panells envolten la caixa per tal de poder captar la llum solar des de diversos angles. La llum del sol també escalfa la caixa frontal, i el preescalfament es pot controlar mitjançant una aplicació mòbil dedicada. En la seva construcció s'utilitzen alumini, carboni, acer i fusta. La bicicleta mesura 220 per 90 per 95 centímetres i pesa 35 quilograms. L'objectiu és oferir un transport diari net alimentat pel sol.

- Tags
- electric bicycle, bike, bike, cargo bike
- Production Technology
- A variation of materials are used to realise this vehicle. Alluminium, Carbon, steel and wood and then of course the solar panels.
- Design Challenge
- The creative challenge has been to develop the solar panels and wrap them around the box.
- Research
- We have researched how much power we could harvest with the solar panels attached to the bike. It showed us we could harvest enough power for the bike never to be recharged again
- Inspiration
- We have been in inspired by the nature of the sun. The sun provides the energy source for our vehicle. This is the perfect vehicle for such an application as the front box has sufficient areas for the sun to harvest energy. Energy enough for the bike never to be recharged.
- Project Duration
- 12 month from first sketch to final product. Location of development: Zagreb and Apeldoorn
- Operation Flow
- The sun is the biggest power source imaginable, it provides us with endless energy
in the form of light. We can use solar cells to convert some of this energy into
electricity. At Solar Application Lab we use this clean and abundant resource, to
power our everyday lives and gain more personal freedom. Solar App provide
unprecedented design freedom by ensuring a stable power output with any sort
of solar cell, at any size, even when partially shaded or if light falls on it at an
angle. So, if we gave you endless energy and infinite ways to apply it, what
application could enhance your personal freedom?
