Say a congratulations to Sean. He’s travelled from NZ to Melbourne to Adelaide to Darwin to down the west coast of Australia to Fremantle to pop in for a spare tube. He’s built himself a solar-powered recumbent. He has a panel on top and a trailer that carries another spare panel and some camping equipment. This has a rear hub motor and 400W of panels in total. Sean reliably informs me that in the sun he can cruise at a touch over 40km/h and the panels are actually putting in a little extra energy into his battery pack. Quite remarkable journey. He travels up to 200km a day on this with power from the sun and pain-au-chocolat whenever he can find one. Nice effort!
