About CarQon Solar Bicicleta de Carga Eléctrica

CarQon Solar es una bicicleta de carga eléctrica alimentada por energía solar. Los paneles solares se ubican sobre el cajón delantero y recargan las baterías de la bicicleta. Los paneles envuelven el cajón, de modo que la luz solar puede captarse desde varios ángulos. La luz del sol también calienta el cajón delantero, y el precalentamiento puede controlarse mediante una aplicación móvil específica. En su construcción se emplean aluminio, carbono, acero y madera. La bicicleta mide 220 por 90 por 95 centímetros y pesa 35 kilogramos. El objetivo es ofrecer un transporte diario limpio, impulsado por el sol.

Unique Properties: This is the first of its kind solar powered electric bicycle. This is the electric bicycle you will never have to re-charge. The sun does it all. There is solar panels strategic placed on the front box to recharge the electric bicycles batteries. this is a complete new product category never seen in the world before. Because of the sun the box is always preheated and the preheating can be controlled by an app that is made for this electric bicycle. A state of the art solar panel.
Dimensions & Packaging: 220 cm x 90 cm x 95 cm. Weight 35 kilo
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?
